His brother-in-law, Frankie, is running for mayor at the same time & no one can seem to figure out if Frankie is the target or Max. (  ) bookworm00 | Aug 15, 2009 |  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. (  ) wyvernfriend | May 12, 2009 | Rather uneven story that's not sure if it's Knight Rider _or a romantic comedy or more serious romantic suspense. Lukewarm romance, 2-dimensional characters, but entertaining if you don't expect too much. (  ) Darla | Dec 15, 2008 | 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.

| Book description |
|
Authors Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes have paired up to create a fast-paced, wacky novel filled with eccentric characters and southern ambiance. In the time-honored tradition of such detective couples as Nick and Nora Charles (The Thin Man, After the Thin Man) the hero and heroine trade quips and parry sexual innuendos with panache while easily deciphering clues and adroitly coping with danger. Readers will thoroughly enjoy this Jamie Swift/Max Holt adventure, the first in a new series from this author duo. --Lois Faye Dyer
