This funny and charming second book in our promising new mass market mystery series features Pauline Sokol, a sassy 30-something ex-nurse turned medical insurance fraud investigator. Pauline Sokol has just escaped serious bodily harm during her first investigation, when her second case file is literally thrown into her lap. And this one seems to be a doozie--with one suspect already dead! Pauline's sleuthing leads her to the Senior Citizen's Clinic, where she realizes that her deceased suspect was part of an illegal Viagra ring! Pauline is soon going undercover as a senior hot mama and chasing down leads at the local bingo parlor. Between fending off some wrinkled "over-70" admirers, and helping the sexy investigator Jagger with his own case at the Senior Clinic, Pauline is again faced with a murderer on the loose! Adding to her panic is the reality that her attraction to Jagger is intensifying, despite the fact that the handsome and reliable Nick is courting her. With the help of her hilarious family and friends, Pauline must juggle an undercover nursing gig, two sexy leading men, a senior alter-ego, and a gaggle of geriatric suspects--all before she becomes the next victim!… (more)

This is the second book in the Pauline Sokol series. This series is about an ex-nurse who gets burnt out and becomes an insurance fraud investigator. In this book Pauline goes undercover as a nurse (again) to check out a nursing home that is filling presciptions illegally. The patients that the prescriptions are for are dead.
This book is fun with Pauline lusting after the two male characters-- Nick and Jagger. The problem with the series is that its backbone is a compete rip-off of the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich.
If you can get past the Plum parallels (and the characters are seriously the exact same) it is a good book. It moves fast and it will have you laughing out loud. I had a hard time looking past the parallels but I did buy the next book in the series. ( )
