Not One Clue: A Mystery

... a good one, enjoyed myself a lot. The previous stories are good as well - of course i love serials, books and TV :o) If you do, too, Elaine Viets' Dead-End Job Mysteries are a good read as well, beach or no beach...

I have been hooked on this series since the first pages of Unzipped. These are a fun read and I pass them on to all my friends but they come back to my keeper shelf. These books are fun like the Stephanie Plum books used to be back in the beginning, but smarter. If I may say one negative thing, and it is a nitpicker... **SPOILER** Read no further if you haven't read any of these books. If not, start with Unzipped and enjoy!!... In one sentence Rivera tells McMullen that they met in Aug 2005 and she hasn't f--d him yet. Seriously?? I know the first book came out in 2005 and that's when they met, but time passage is usually not paid much attention to in series like these (that would make Stephanie Plum about 40 wouldn't it? but she is still in her late 20's) and it really bugged me that the author would do that. So are we to believe that McMullen has been holding out on this guy she is crazy about for 5 years??? Or is it only like 2006 in this story? It doesn't say and that really bugged me. It was like a pin popping the fantasy balloon in which I was immersed and was all I could think about while reading the rest of the book. But I still love this series and all the characters.

I am a big fan of this series but it seems to have been stagnating with the last few installments. This latest entry changes that completely, it is fast paced, suspenseful and a real page turner. From start to finish the action doesn't stop. There are many shout outs to characters from prior books, which is a fun memory jog. There is some much needed character development which has made me really eager for the next book in this series to see where these characters are headed. All in all a great addition to the series.

I am a collector of Lois Greiman books. As such when Amazon offered the latest novel, I jumped ath buying it.The book arrived and I read it at one sitting - 12 hours, no less.Thanks for the book.

Lois Greiman delivers another funny light mystery with Christina McMullen. Aways a quick read and laughs along the way. Keep 'em coming.
