Not as hilarious as the Stephanie Plum novels, but still a good, fairly-fast paced read. On to the next one!

I thought this was a great read (and listen). If there’s one thing Janet Evanovich has a knack for, it’s colorful, interesting characters, and there’s no shortage of them here. From Frankie the ex-wrestler to the gun-toting Vera to Deedee’s personal assistant Beenie, they’re all here to entertain you. I recently watched the first two seasons of Eureka, and Muffin could be Sarah’s sister (and I’m sorry that you won’t get this unless you’ve seen the show, but Sarah’s a house). It’s not clear for quite a while why exactly someone might be gunning for Frankie, but it doesn’t really matter. The mystery is secondary to the interaction between Max and Jamie.

I really liked the open-ended ending. Who is this mysterious preacher? What is his problem with Max? And will Max ever get into Jamie’s pants? Another lighthearted, fun read from Ms. Evanovich.

Jamie Swift runs a newspaper in Beaumont, South Carolina. She's under stress because the newspaper is going under, slowly but surely. When her silent partner Max Holt announces that he's going to visit this only adds to her stress.

When Max arrives he brings not only stress but also questions about her relationship with the 'safe' Philip.

It's brain candy, but I did enjoy the story and the characters, particularly Muffin, the AI in Max's car.
