Caesar Romano is desperate to land the job as Mallory Albright’s assistant in her art gallery so the art show he’s doing for Jean Luc Pappineau needs to be a huge success. Except things seem to be going downhill fast, starting with Caesar’s ex-boyfriend Sheppard showing up unexpectedly. When Jean Luc starts stripping, Caesar starts worrying that Mallory will never hire him. The appearance of detective Dan Green makes things worse. Why is he there? And why is he asking Caesar so many questions?  The next morning reveals even bigger problems for Caesar when artwork is missing and Dan is nosing around again. Caesar will soon have more to worry about than that though.

Catch Me if You Can is an outrageously entertaining and convoluted story with a cast full of colorful characters that includes a caterer, a detective, a few homeless men, and some half naked waiters.  It also has a labradoodle, a bad actor, a bust of Justin Timberlake, and some clowns. Along with some hilarious high jinks, Catch Me if You Can has an element of danger and a very suspenseful mystery. LB Gregg’s hilarious wit leaves me in stitches. She makes an entertaining story with a variety of characters and situations that might otherwise not work together. Dan’s filthy mouth is incredibly hot.  It’s not surprising that Caesar melts when he uses it on him. Catch Me if You Can is the first of a promising new series from one of my favorite authors.
