Description
The hardcover edition of Wicked Business contains Plum & Wicked stickers inside!Janet Evanovich, mega-bestselling author of the beloved Stephanie Plum series, is back and better than ever. Her novels, hailed by GQ as “among the great joys of contemporary crime fiction,” deliver rollicking adventure with crackling wit and hilarious mayhem. And, now, one of the hottest writers today returns with dynamic duo Lizzy and Diesel to prove that when hunting down bad guys, the real fun is in the chase. When Harvard University English professor and dyed-in-the-wool romantic Gilbert Reedy is mysteriously murdered and thrown off his fourth-floor balcony, Lizzy and Diesel take up his twenty-year quest for the Luxuria Stone, an ancient relic believed by some to be infused with the power of lust. Following clues contained in a cryptic nineteenth-century book of sonnets, Lizzy and Diesel tear through Boston catacombs, government buildings, and multimillion-dollar residences, leaving a trail of robbed graves, public disturbances, and spontaneous seduction. Janet Evanovich does it again and gives us another exciting un-put-down-able read that is striking a chord with readers everywhere!

With its blue-collar Baltimore setting, engaging and quirky characters, outrageous situations, and conversational tone, Tim Cockey's Hitchcock Sewell mysteries offer a great alternative for Janet Evanovich fans -- just be warned that instead of a female bounty hunter, you'll be getting a charming and smart-mouthed bachelor...who happens to be an undertaker. -- Shauna Griffin
Those who enjoy Mary Kay Andrews for her humorous, strong-willed, yet often flawed female characters will enjoy the stand-alone novels of Janet Evanovich. While Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series also features this type of main character, her stand-alone novels are more in keeping with Andrews' humorous, romantic tales. -- Nanci Milone Hill
