Nip, Tuck, Dead

This was a great book. The best in the series so far, in my opinion. Pauline is pretty much on her own for this investigation and manages fairly well without "her Jagger". but not so well that he doesn't have to come to her rescue in the end. As a bonus, she finally realizes how much Jagger cares for her and also discovers his "secret" identity. Lots of action, plenty of Goldie and a few close intimiate encounters with a Dr. who is not quite what he seems.

Book #5 in the Pauline Sokol mystery series. Pauline seems to be getting more independent in her investigating skills and is starting to find the clues on her own without Jagger's help all the time. Not that Jagger is out of the story by any means. Though I like this series and see the similaritis to the Stephanie Plum series, Pauline is not quite as "street-smart" as Stephanie and seems more naive...more cutesy if you will, than Stepanie. This book was probably one of my least favorites of the series so far, but it might also have something to do with having a cold during the time I was reading it! :) I still enjoy the series and even the worst one of the bunch was still some good readin' for me. Oh, and we finally get to learn a show more little bit of interesting info about Jagger by the end of this one. show less

This is book five in the Pauline Sokol series by Lori Avocato.

Pauline is an ex-nuse turned insurance fraud investigato. In this installment she is going undercover as her best friend's (Goldie the cross-dresser) private nurse at an upscale plastic sugery retreat.
This book wasn't as good as some of the others in the series, but I liked that Pauline actually started investigating on her own. I was beginning to wonder why she was getting paid when it seemed like Jagger already had the other cases solved before she got there and was just playing with her. Jagger does have a role in this book (it would be sad if he didn't), just not shadowing everything that Pauline does.

If you are reading this series you will be happy to gather new show more information on the mysterious Jagger, if you haven't started this series yet start at the beginning and attept to overlook the Janet Evanovich rip-off. show less
