My review is 4.5 Stars
Victorine Lieske's books are just plain fun. As you can tell by the name of the book, she doesn't take herself too seriously, which makes for some great books.
Kat was wonderful. She thought herself plain, but she was such a lovely person and very clever. She had started responding to scam e-mails and getting the scammers do crazy things to "prove" they were legit. Her co-workers at the newspaper loved them so much, she was given a column to share what she had done. I loved the e-mail conversations Kat had with the scammers.
Dear Miss Philipina,
I do want to comply with you, however, I live in an area where it is hard to purchase some items. We do not have packages of Ho Hos where I am from. But I can assure you I am not the kind of person to take advantage of others. Please send the thousand dollars right away so I can send you the inheritance money and you can live happily on the seven million US dollars.

Kat flexed her fingers, then began her response.
Dear Doctor Yong,
I am quite sad to inform you that I have already spent my thousand dollars after having a lovely conversation with Princess Ding Dong. However, I do expect to get a large sum of money soon, so there's still time to send me that photo.
As I'm sure you are a busy man, I have searched far and wide, and I have found a website where you can buy a box of Ho Hos. Here's the link to Amazon. If you have the box rushed to you, we might be able to complete this transaction soon.
Have a wonderful day,
Miss Philipina
