Reviews

[wyvernfriend]

Jamie and Max have fallen out since the events of the last book, she got out of the car and the story opens with her trying to work her way towards the scoop of the year. Max's in-car computer Muffin is annoyed at him for leaving Jamie all alone.

Jamie is determined to investigate this, is determined to uncover the scandal and doesn't really see the danger she's in. Max can see the danger but can he respect her need to be the investigative journalist she is.

It's peppered with Janet Evanovich's trademark humour and a fun read, nothing serious or deep here and parts of the story aren't quite fully explored but interesting all the same.

Full Speed picks up almost exactly where Full Tilt leaves off, with Max and Jamie headed out of South Carolina and into Tennessee in search of the mysterious Reverend Harlan Rawlins. The Reverend appears to want Max dead, and he and Jamie want to know why. This book had all of the madcap zaniness you’ve come to expect from a book with “Evanovich” on the cover, but this one wasn’t as good as the past two. I felt like a lot of the heat was missing between Max and Jamie. Hopefully they’ll find it again in the next book? I did enjoy the truck-lovin’, country-western-hatin’ hound dog, Fleas, and hope we see more of him in the future.
