A really fun book, this had me laughing out loud all the way through.When Katerina's father is kidnapped, a whole new world opens up to her. She discovers family she never knew about and a history that is more than a little surprising to her. Peppered with Greek references that I didn't always understand, and pop culture references that I usually did, this book was really well written and smooth to read, really enjoyable. *i received a copy of this book in exchange for a review. This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. What a fun book! This book reminds me of the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series or the Claire McNab Kylie Kendall series, part mystery part comedy. Kat learns that her family is part of the Greek Mafia, and her grandmother runs the show. Filled with unforgettable characters this book takes you on a wild ride to find Kat's father.From crazy, obsessive ex girlfriends, henchmen who like to blow things up, a wordless bodyguard, a Grandmother who runs the family from her kitchen while making some delectable Greek meals, to the goat that shows up to eat the flowers and the gorgeous police officer who isn't sure if he should deport Kat, keep her close or seduce her, this book is nothing but fun. I didn't have any expectations of this book but it looked interested when I requested a copy from the publisher, but I found that I couldn't put it down. Apparently there is a 2nd book that just came out and I am downloading it immediately! If you are looking for a fun summer read, look no further. no reviews | add a review

There's no offer for her to refuse ...Kat Makris was a little girl when her father spun wild and outrageous bedtime stories about Baboulas, the Greek boogeyman, a lawless creature with a penchant for stealing gold and clashing with the gods. Now Kat is twenty-eight, single, a couch potato in a cube farm, when her father goes missing. Without him, she's alone in the world. Before the police can work their mojo, she herself is abducted by a couple of hoods with crooked noses, and she quickly discovers her father's old stories were true--true crime, that is. Baboulas is an infamous mob boss in Greece, and Baboulas is the one who has Kat holed up in a private plane bound for Greece. Now, to find her father, Kat must face the boogeyman ...Somewhere between Stephanie Plum and Michael Corleone you'll find Kat Makris. DISORGANIZED CRIME is a humorous look at family--and Family.

This was an excellent book. Kat's adventures from an average person to a member of a Greek crime family is a page Turner. The story has humor, possible romance and knowledge of Greek culture. It keeps you in suspense with a surprise ending. ( )
