Great question! Several come to mind -- Nick and Nora Charles... Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler... Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. That ought to do it. Why? Because in each couple, conflict is at the root of their relationship, and both partners needed to manage the conflict before they could have a relationship. With Nick and Nora, the conflict was the "case".. for Scarlett and Rhett, the conflict was temporarily lifted when Scarlett fell in love, and in Bennett-Darcy, both partners had to let go of their pride. For me that's what makes a relationship sparkle -- how they handle their conflict without allowing it to destroy them.

I just finished "An Eye for Murder" (I like to start in order- I'll get to "Jump Cut" soon- but I have to find out what happened to David...). I enjoyed the book and Chicago. I have an odd question: the Zippo lighter in the story, was it one you had or had seen before? Well, not so odd... I live in Bradford, PA and frankly, Zippo is the only thing we can claim, except for Marilyn Horne. Thanks.
