Wicked Business (Lizzy and Diesel, #2)

by Janet Evanovich

[MurderByDeath]

This book is the equivalent of a funnel cake - it has no redeeming nutritional value, but it tastes so good and is so fun to eat!

Diesel and Lizzy are on the hunt for 7 stones - each embodying a deadly sin. In this book, it's the stone for Lust. So it's a treasure hunt, complete with puzzles, clues and required objects. I love this kind of stuff - pure Goonies. :) I like Lizzy; she's no Lara Croft, but she's got moxie. I found the comedy to be laugh-out-loud as only Janet Evanovich can write - she can make me laugh at the rudest boy humour! A bit of danger, a bit of frustrated romance. Great supporting characters who are all interesting and likeable - Glo and her spells are always good for a chuckle.

Many will find this series to be silly beyond the pale, but I knew going into this series exactly what I was in for - I'd read the Plum between-the-numbers books starring Diesel and I enjoyed them for the light, fun reads they were designed to be. If you enjoyed those, you'll have the right expectations for this series. I just loved reading this book and I had an absolute blast until the end. I sincerely look forward to the next Diesel and Lizzy adventure.
