Thanks Netgalley for a free book to read and review.I'm not a real big fan of this series but this one had me chuckling. How does a already known thief prove that he didn't steal something. This was a conundrum for Nick, and as usual his wit and being drawn to Kate was entertaining. Love a good t...
I still don't understand why this needed to be two separate graphic novels. Both are so short! Anyway, it had been forever since I read part 1, so I didn't remember a lot of what was going on. The story ended and overall was pretty meh. I think the idea is really cool but to be successful I'd co...
Very short but I love the concise writing. In a few short pages with story unfolds in detail with careful crafted words. I guess after reading historical mysteries where the story progresses from meal to meal this is a refreshing change. Perhaps the reason is because Lee Goldberg writes for tel...

Probabilmente risulterò ripetitiva, perché tutto ciò che ho scritto sui libri precendenti è vero anche per questa recensione.. E forse ciò potrebbe essere a svantaggio della Evanovich perché è un'autrice "ripetitivA" e c he rimane ancorata ai suoi schemi, ma che posso farci se ogni volta mi fa fa...

Originally seen on my book blog!The characters. The characters. The characters. DEVELOPMENT. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. Okay, I started this series with book 5, then skipped to 17 and 19 and then went back to the start. When I went back to book number one, I noticed that some characters were so diffe...
Alex Barnaby-why would you give a woman character such a masculine name? Anyways, they do more law-breaking than I could ever imagine, including stealing an eighteen-wheeler that they then have to hide inside a warehouse. I did like the spunky & humorous Hispanic ladies, Rosa Florez and fruit ven...
I enjoyed One for the Money. The plot was entertaining, the setting was familiar in its otherness, and the characters were likable, well drawn and relatable. Furthermore, Stephanie Plum, the heroine, was rather humorous when remarking on the going’s on of the Berg and her family, and made me gig...

I'm really tired of hearing that Stephanie was married to Dickie "for about fifteen minutes" before she found him with Joyce on the table. And that "about fifteen minutes" after that, Stephanie filed for divorce.But I'm tired of a lot of the things that get said over and over in each book to "ca...
The Full Box is a four-book audio set. I previously listened to and reviewed Full House here on KariAnnAlysis. It was one of the first audio books I listened to. I’ll always turn to Janet Evanovich when I need a good, light read. That’s why I was thrilled when I found the rest of this series in a...

If you're expecting something along the lines of the Stephanie Plum mysteries, this book is not for you. Full House must be viewed on its own. It's not as action-packed as Evanovich's more recent best sellers, although there's some action and a car does in fact get blown to bits. Full House, orig...

Well gee...where do I begin with this book? I liked it, probably because I like murder mysteries even if this wasn't the best one, because it's a rom com murder mystery, like its predecessors. And I usually enjoy the rom com parts too, but this one simultaneously intrigued and annoyed me. You kno...
Before reading: So the thing was, I was looking for a woman who writes about a woman detective. I had had plenty of men about men. Janet Evanovich popped up as meeting the criteria. Having a lead, it was my responsibility to undertake the due diligence. I think I might have blown it. It seems thi...
Another of Evanovich’s early romance novel writing efforts, this one was either a very early work, or one of the later ones where she began to chafe at the confines of romance writing. The romance in this novel seems a bit by-the-book and doesn’t blend well with the characters and action. The boo...
It took me two weeks to read Dracula and it’s taken me a day and a half to read this. When I finished it, my fiance looked at me and said, “Already? You just started.” What can I say, it was a cute, easy read and I love me some Janet Evanovich. That’s probably obvious since half the books I’ve re...

It was in an area smack between Montreal’s English-speaking population to the west, the French-speaking to the east, and the immigrant, ethnic mix that populated the strip in between. While that area transformed over time from an ethnic ghetto into the hip, artsy heart of the city, Schwartz’s rem...
Elsie said to Lizabeth. “Must be a hundred people here.

Even with the flashlight it was difficult to see more than a few feet ahead. I kept telling myself that the tunnel had to lead somewhere, and that the somewhere would be better than this claustrophobic tube. I could hear Devereaux behind me, sliding on the slick, uneven rock surface. He was mumbl...
I thought this was a nice change from having him pick me up at work and drag me off on a hunt for some enchanted relic. When I got to Marblehead, I stopped to get groceries and a bottle of wine. I let myself into my house, said hello to Cat and Carl, and took a moment to enjoy the quiet. I set th...
She took the key from the ignition and slouched deep into the seat. I hate to admit it, she sighed, but I’m going to miss this car.

All are equipped with GPS tracking. Ranger has personal space at the back of the garage, directly in front of the elevator. His cars are also black and immaculate.

The last time I’d gone to mass was Easter, and my mother had made me go. I heard people gasp when I walked into the church. I’m sure they were wondering what horrible thing I’d done that had driven me to attend mass. Fortunately or unfortunately, however you were looking at it, the horrible thing...
Some fit better than others. And sometimes you go out shopping and there's nothing you like. And then, as luck would have it, the next week you find two that are perfect, but you don't have the money to buy both. I was currently in just such a position… not with shoes, but with men. And this morn...
Vinnie said. “I just took it in on a bond. The guy was short money, so he gave me the bike. I already got my garage filled with crap. I can't fit a bike in there.” People cleaned out their houses to buy their bonds. Vinnie took in stereos, televisions, mink coats, computer...

The street was narrow and slightly winding, as befitting a road originally designed for horse traffic. Houses were close together. Windows were thrown open to catch the fresh air. Flowerpots had been crammed onto small front stoops. Paint schemes dated back to colonial days. Some houses were fres...
Five-thirty. Ranger’s day started early. I heard the shower running, and I drifted back to sleep. It was a little after eight o’clock when I finally made my way to the kitchen in my new clothes. The Pilates pants had been a good choice. The material was soft and stretchy o...
Dumah asked Nick as Nick stepped into the elevator. “Of course I remember you,” Nick said, thinking how to choose his words so Kate would get a grip on this new development. “Congratulations, Dumah. It’s good to see you’ve found a job worthy of your skills.” Dumah caught him with a brutal sucker ...
Wearing a tuxedo made him feel suave and debonair. It made no difference that he looked like Homer Simpson, and made his living manufacturing fish meal for cattle.

I opened my eyes and saw there was a bar of light shining through the crack in my bedroom curtains. It was morning. And I was in my own bed, feeling incredibly comfy. I looked down and realized there was a man's arm thrown across my chest, the hand lightly curled around my breast. &nb...
What’s new. Morelli played his cards close to his vest. That was his style. He didn’t show his whole hand to anyone. Not to his boss, not to his partners, and certainly not to me. Nothing personal. After all, the goal was to catch Kenny. I no longer cared how it was accomplished. I backed off fro...
She had an empty Domino’s pizza box shoved into her wastebasket and six empty Coke cans lined up on her desk.

The Hampton Inn was one of half a dozen budget hotels located near the Camarillo Premium Outlets.

“Don't fit,” she said. “This door's sealed up tight.” Lula gave the door a whack with the tire iron and the door swung open. “Will you look at this,” Lula said. “Have we got some luck, or what?” “I don't like it. They always lock up and set the alarm.” “They must have just forgot. It was a trauma...
Sorry, I don’t smoke.” “Nobody fucking smokes anymore.

“We need necessities,” she said. “Clothes and food.” “I asked Vernon to stock food for us,” Emerson said. “I looked through the cabinets and fridge. They’re filled with beer and chips and beef jerky. Get some money out of the duffel bag. We’re going shopping.” An hour later they had new sweatshir...
As if she wasn’t depressed enough, it had to rain. Not even a healthy rain that could be considered cozy, pattering on leaves and windowpanes. This rain drizzled. Gray, dreary drizzle. Amy pressed her fingertips to her eyelids. She didn’t think she could face another day. She listened to Jake sin...
When the stars had finished exploding, when her heart had slowed to a normal beat, when that peculiar lethargy of after-loving had seeped into every muscle in her body, Maggie felt the smile return to her lips. She lay very still beside Hank and wondered how her body could be in such a state of e...
The coachman had just pulled up in front of the Touro Park house, and all the lights on the ground floor were ablaze. Jack retrieved his top hat from beneath the bench where he’d sent it earlier, brushed it off, and set it back on his head. If there were guests, he couldn’t enter the house lookin...
