It seems Evanovich's imagination is far from running dry in this 4th book of the series. As the others, this story is very funny and there are a lot of passages you'll feel the need to share and read out loud. The mystery is intriguing and compelling, Maxine is smart and that helps the plot. I liked Sally Sweet, I think he was a good addition to the unusual set of characters in the novels and Stephanie's family keeps the good moments coming. Explosions, dangerous situations, weird mysteries and even more laughs - this book won't disappoint the fans.
