I loved this book and can’t wait for more from Ms. As if Finlay’s life isn’t enough of a train wreck, she inadvertently accepts an offer to dispose of a problem husband to make ends meet and becomes entangled in a real murder investigation. This is a delicious, funny, and smart story where our protagonist is overheard telling her agent the plot of her new book and is mistaken for a real contract killer. This brilliantly-penned book is said to, “perfectly capture the absurdity of our times,” and I couldn’t agree more.įinlay Donovan is Killing It by Elle Cosimano Squeeze Me is set in Florida’s glittering gold coast at the height of Palm Beach’s charity ball season where Kiki Pew Fitzsimmons, a prominent member of geriatric high society, suddenly vanishes during a swank gala. There are three books and counting in this fun, popular series.Ĭarl Hiaasen is a master of comedy with a deft hand and honed sense of humor, and his latest book, Squeeze Me, proves that the guy’s still got it. When one of the members dies after eating Sawyer’s amazing truffle mac and cheese, Sawyer is immersed in an even bigger soup pot of trouble. Complete with a book club of amateur sleuths who live for death. She’s a chef whose matchmaking mother has left her a puppy, a bevy of single men to choose from, and a bookshop dedicated to whodunnits. Sawyer Davis’ new life in picturesque Sunset Cove is crumbling around her as fast as the old Victorian house she lives in. Tamra writes sexy humor like nobody’s business and nowhere is this more apparent than in her first humorous mystery, Plotting for Murder. I suggest beginning with the book that started it all: One for the Money. This is another long-running series for new readers to savor with twenty-eight books and counting. Jobless in Jersey, Stephanie Plum is forced to blackmail her bail-bondsman cousin Vinney into giving her a shot at becoming a bounty hunter. Her books are funny and sexy and downright addictive.

#1 NY Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich has been called brilliant and I have to agree. Now twenty books in, there is plenty to savor in this much-beloved, laugh-out-loud series.

Fortune has to pose as a former beauty queen turned librarian in a small bayou town, a fate worse than death in Fortune’s opinion. The first book in the long-running series has Fortune in hiding thanks to a leak in the CIA and a subsequent price placed on her head. Her character, CIA assassin Fortune Redding, is hilarious. There’s a reason Jana’s books are beloved by thousands.
