Don't EVER Judge A Book By It's Cool Cover Art

I recently read a book that purported on it's cover to be a detective story. Half-way through the book I realized that not only was this not a detective story but a romance novel, it was also a badly written romance novel. Here is my summary of the plot:

Woman: I'm looking for a detective
Detective: I'm a detective!
Woman: Okay
Detective: (Drinks a beer)
Woman: I don't like you!
Detective: I don't like you either. I'm gonna abuse you, then we're gonna have sex. Ok?
Woman: Ok.
Detective: (Slaps Woman)
Woman: Make love to me!
Detective: Ok.
(They have sex)
Woman: Now I like you.
(Man walks in)
Woman: Ahhhhhhh! He's after my baby!
Man: HAHAHA!
Detective: (Shoots Man)
Man: Damn you and your concealed firearms permit!
Detective: What baby?
Woman: You know, the one we left with the complete strangers we found on that Indian Reservation?
Detective: Oh, that baby.
(They have sex again)
Detective: You have melted my icy cold heart through multiple instances of intercourse. I love you.
Woman: I love you too.

THE END


Next time I get a book, I'm reading the back. There goes ten hours of my life that I'll never get back again...
