All Lexi wants to do is get through the day at her boring temp job with Green Hand Insurance. That's until she discovers the vice president, Martin Dean, in a pool of blood and herself at the center of an investigation into insurance fraud.

Millions of dollars are missing, the chief suspect is dead and her mysterious, sexy new boss is not what he seems.

Recruited by the joint task force working on the case, all Lexi has to do is work out who killed Dean and where the missing millions are. That's easier said than done when her sister insists upon the baby shower to end all baby showers, her wise-ass cop family just wants to keep her safe, someone keeps leaving her creepy gifts, and all the clues point to a seedy sex club on the wrong side of town.

As the bodies start to pile up, Lexi is on a race against time to find the killer and the money, before she's the next one in the murderer's sights.

Made me Laugh

If you’re a fan of Janet Evanovich, you should pick up a copy of this book. Humorous situations, two sexy men for our heroine to choose from, an intriguing who-done-it, and a quirky supporting cast made this a lighthearted read that kept me turning the pages. Lexi Graves, our intrepid heroine, follows where her curiosity leads – which is usually into trouble – and uses her witty and ingenuity to get out of it.

Enjoyable mystery, little romance

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2019

Great characters, interesting mystery, fun read. I thought the characters were great. I liked Lexi and Lily. Their friendship seems genuine. I also really liked Lexi's family. Her interaction with Serena and the brief growth in that relationship is promising for future story lines. I am looking forward to reading what is next for Lexi. I think this book was well written, funny and a solid mystery. I had read another review that said too much romance. I didn't really see that. I just saw the potential for a relationship and character development. I would definitely start with this book as it seems to lay a solid foundation for the series to grow from.

Fun, fast moving story

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2012

Lexi Graves: Armed and Fabulous is a great read but I'm not quite sure how I would categorize it. Perhaps a chick lit cozy mystery.

Lexi Graves is a temp working in the administrative building of an insurance company doing filing, writing reports, doing research, helping out with typing. The type of stuff that other staff members shove off on a temp. One night she gets carried away with her research in the basement library and doesn't keep track of time, returning upstairs when everyone has left for the night only to stumble across one of the company big wigs - dead. And even worse - the killers are still in the building. Lexi hides in a closet only to discover she's not in there alone.

Armed and Fabulous is written in the first person from the point of view of Lexi Graves. A fun, flirty, fast moving story with poor Lexi stumbling across dead bodies all over the place while she assists the police department with their investigation into insurance fraud with several million dollars missing. There were plenty of red herrings and lots of action and lots of funny moments. Sad to say I figured out early on who the baddie was but the book was still highly entertaining for me to read.

Lexi Graves will be a series and I'm looking forward to reading more of her adventures.

Can A 'Blond-bimbo' temp solve the clues before the killer finds her??

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2013

Lexi was a very intelligent, career temp.She enjoyed the non-pressure of thankless 'grunt work' at the insurance agency where she was temping at. After having to stay over to get a report ready for her boss, she delivers it to his office only to find him dead. Hearing someone coming, she dives into a closet only to find herself being held silent by another person also hiding in the closet. Having to decide which was the lesser of two evils was a hard decision. The next day, no one knows the boss is dead. No body, no blood, no sign of struggle, no police. Just what is going on? Taking matters into her own hands, she decides to find out. With her hilarious sidekick and longtime friend, Lily, they dig their way through the facts to try to discover who is behind the insurance fraud where Lexi works. The bodies are stacking up!! Lexi is running out of time!! The killer has turned his sights on her! This who-dun-it is so hilariously funny, you won't want to put it down.

.... despite a half dozen murdered bodies.

Lexi is a temp at an insurance agency. She finds the agency’s boss murdered in his office, then is a witness to the murderers removing his body. This while she crammed into a closet with a very hunky police detective, aka, also undercover as her immediate boss at the agency.
Well, as the bodies pile up, Lexi gets deeper and deeper into whatever is going on - the murders, the detectives, her family.
Well written, smoooooth dialog, likable characters, almost a believable plot. I loved it and it leaves you knowing there’s more to come!!!!

Fabulous!

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2016

I am guilty of judging a book by it's cover here. And it's name. I received this book either for free or for $.99. But I held off reading it because it appeared and sounded like the main character would be a ditzy fashionista, and I don't love ditz's or extreme fashionista s.

Turned out the character was not guilty of either attribute. She was quite intelligent, dressed well but not an excessive clothes horse. More importantly, the book was well written, and the mystery kept me wondering for most of the book. And there are 2 romances, both in the early stages, so it will be interesting to see how that develops.

I look forward to reading the second book in the series.

It's a great series!

I love that each book picks up where the previous book left off. It doesn't miss the 'good stuff' that she goes through with her family, and boyfriend, boss, career, and her BFF! It feels like I am right there with her, and I understand her thoughts. I love that she has a boyfriend that is a 'keeper, maybe, kinda, not sure, and then there is her boss! Oh My! He sounds irresistible! He isn't pushy, but he is there for her, and saves her over and over again. Her sister, her brothers. I just love the whole family!

Just the right mix

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2017

I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, especially Soloman the mysterious. Lily is a crack up, Brother Graves are a serious batch, Serena is growing, and Ted needs to go.

The story has merits of a good plot. I figured it out rather quickly, but the story kept me reading to the end. The plot gets on quick, the people in it could be as real as anyone, and the situations made me pause. Much gory stuff to find in one week, but the good guys win in the end and the job offer makes one want to read the next book.

Fun romance suspense book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

My first time reading Camilla Chafer’s work, but I found this to be a quick & easy read. Funny in parts, this is a light read that’s well written & edited (only spotted one missing word). It’s also a clean read with no swear words or bedroom scenes. I suspected the villain before the reveal. However, much as I liked the main characters, I didn’t like the love triangle, & I can see this causing trouble in future books. The ending is a bit of a letdown: there’s no HEA, it’s not a cliffhanger, but it does stop abruptly. Furthermore, the author gives a rundown of what happened & why to wrap the story up, which is what I remember from my teenage years reading Nancy Drew & Hardy Boy’s.

Lexi is a fake blonde, working as an office temp, living up to the stereotypical blonde image. In actual fact she’s a fast & able worker (apart from her constant accidental deleting of files). She just likes to drag out the day by sneaking off to Starbucks, spas & internet shopping, which her new boss has discovered. When she finds the Vice President dead in his office, she hides in the closet, only to discover she’s not alone!

Adam Maddox is an undercover cop, working as Lexi’s new boss, hoping to uncover a fraud scheme. He’s a bit of a gentleman wanting to keep her safe. Working alongside the FBI with the quiet & mysterious Solomon, it’s their job to keep Lexi safe while investigating the case. Lexi herself wants to help, but with danger lurking at every corner & dead bodies stacking up, she needs to take care she doesn’t end up being the next victim.

By the way, the title of the book is a little misleading: Lexi is not “armed & fabulous” until near the end of the book! Overall, an enjoyable read, & the following books all have witty titles.

Okay but not one of the best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 15, 2018

I have mixed feelings about this book which makes it difficult to give a definitive review but here goes. The fraud aspect was interesting but it was pretty obvious who was killing off the bad guys if you really considered the most likely person to be involved in the stealing of the money. Lexi did not strike me as a believable character. She came across as rather stupid and not smart, as she was supposed to be. Smart people don't keep accidentally deleting their work on a computer. I found it dragged a bit at times so found myself skipping pages. I liked some of the dialogue but Lexi's way of speaking made her seem like a bit of an airhead. I also didn't like the way she is crushing on Soloman and allowed him to give her a kiss when she is dating Adam because it makes her seem disloyal. Overall, this was an okay book but, for me, there was something lacking, maybe because it did not have great depth of atmosphere and it was impossible to take it very seriously as it smacked more of a spoof than a credible mystery.

An entertaining read.
Not as humorous as the author thinks though.

Good story but the book took ages to unveil the baddies even though I spotted him many chapters before the end. Not sure it needed such a long and laborious explanation of the crimes after the baddie had been unveiled and nabbed.

Enjoyable. Likely to buy other books in the series.

Good In Parts

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 7, 2018

I purchased this months ago and read about half before leaving it. I went back and picked up where I left off a couple of times but didn't get much further. I decided to give it one more try before deleting it and this time went back to the beginning and read to the end. From this you will gather that it wasn't a compelling read.

The good were the characters, they were attractive, interesting and sometimes witty and I wanted to know them better.

The not so good was the clumsy main plot, it had a few holes and was unnecessarily complicated, while the bad guy seemed obvious.

I am going to invest in the second book in this series in the hope that it will have a lighter touch when it comes to plotting and because I want to give Lexi, her friends, family and suitors another chance.

I am embarrassed to say that this book has been sitting on my Kindle for almost eighteen months! Every time I went to read it, my attention was drawn to something better (not always so as it happens!) and it got pushed to the back of the queue. I have finally got around to reading it and although it is not brilliant, it is funny, entertaining and easy to read.

The story revolves around Lexi, a bored temp working in an Insurance Company. Bored that is until she discovers the body of the vice president – Martin Dean – lying in a pool of blood in his office. She suddenly finds herself recruited by a police task force, working undercover to solve a huge fraud scam, which her boss was somehow involved in. As people around her are killed off, Lexi realises that she has become the murderer’s next target. I guessed about three quarters of the way through who the murderer was, but it was still a good story with lots of twists and turns.
