This review is from: Don't Mess with Mrs In-Between (PI Grace Smith Investigations) (Mass Market Paperback)

If you like Janet Evanovich's series featuring Stephanie Plum, you will love this series featuring Grace. You will laugh til you cry at some of the scenes and some of the things she says. I just love it when she calls someone a "bugger". The books are like a cozy mystery so if you are into those, you should like these also. A great female sleuth series!

This review is from: Don't Mess with Mrs In-Between (PI Grace Smith Investigations) (Mass Market Paperback)

Don't mess... is a fast paced novel with a wealth of interesting characters. At times the plot stretches credibility, but still in an enjoyable fashion. The author does a nice job of introducing enough characters to keep this relatively lengthy novel interesting (400+ pages), and does so in a way that it is still easy for the reader track.

The novel is modern-British in tone and nature, but still very accessible. Although not great literature, the book holds your attention throughout.

This review is from: Don't Mess with Mrs In-Between (PI Grace Smith Investigations) (Mass Market Paperback)

Not sure how I had previously missed this novel. It is about British PI Grace Smith, who has an office arrangement upstairs in a PI firm, and who lives as one of the squatters in a building that has an unknown owner. She has an automobile that she can't take out on the highway, so relies on a bicycle, borrowed vehicles, and bumming rides. She is tightfisted with money.

The novel has a mixed group of characters. Throw together a cast that includes an older woman with a boytoy, a cross-dressing actor, a would be movie producer, an old guy with a shotgun playing with a half deck, various love smitten people, and assorted other players and spear characters, and you get a story that goes in some iteresting directions. There is a wrap-up at the end that has a few twists, and some advice about the necessity of sometimes needing to let people go, no matter how much you may think you love them.

Parts of the novel are funny. Grace is not exactly Kinsey Millhone, and not exactly Stephanie Plum. The novel is not a quick read, but definitely worth reading.
