Read Series: A Jaine Austen Mystery
by Author Laura Levine
Killer Blonde (2005)
Jaine Austen, not the famous book writer, is back with the 3rd book of her series. This time she is working for some stuck up size 2 wife of a plastic surgeon. The job: to sit for hours on end on a hard toilet seat listening to the woman talk of her life and recipes that sound suspiciously like G...
The PMS Murder (2007)
The PMS Murder by Laura Levine is a fun read with a few out-loud laughs & an ending that actually surprised me (I'm not to easy to surprise).Jaine Austen-yes, the joke is there, again & again-is a free-lance writer, battling danishes with the help of her cat, Prozac (the book is full of arch joke...
Death by Pantyhose (2007)
Freelance writer Jaine Austen has never been able to resist the siren call of an Eskimo Pie, just like she can't resist renewing her romance with Andrew, an old crush. With her bank account hitting new lows, she's also just agreed to write jokes for Dorcas, a stand-up comic who throws her pantyho...
This Pen For Hire (2003)
This book was really hard for me to rate. In some ways I felt it deserved a lower rating at least compared to the rest of the novels in the series but at the same time 2 stars would have not been fair either. It is almost like 2 and 3/4 stars.I love this series. I read the last book in the series...
Last Writes (2004)
I love Jaine Austen's mysteries and this one did not disappoint. I was just in the mood for a fun easygoing mystery. Jaine is thrilled to get to work as a joke writer on a rather lame sitcom "Muffy 'n me" but hey, this is Hollywood and this could be her big break. Of course things don't go as pla...
Shoes To Die For (2006)
The best selling author Laura Levine is back with the indomitable sleuth Jaine Austen - and this time she's out to find who murdered a well-heeled French shop owner.
Pampered to Death (2011)
I really enjoy the Jaine Austen Mystery series, so I probably shouldn't be considered an unbaised reviewer. I find Laura Levine's first person narrative engaging and laugh out loud funny at times. Who can resist at least a smile when you have a cat named Prozac in the story? (Even funnier is J...
Death of a Neighborhood Witch (2012)
I like these. Yes, they are predictable. Yes, the jokes can get repetitive. You know, though, that is what is fun about them. It is like meeting an old friend on a bad day. You know you will laugh and feel better at the end of it. You can whip through these in a short time and go on to more...
Killer Cruise (2009)
It could easily have been 5 stars, but the murderer's confession took the wind out of the book's sail. I'm so happy to announce that the author has crafted another remarkable book. She has been able to extract even more entertaining tidbits from her characters. Do read this book, even if it takes...
