4.0 out of 5 stars Fans of Stephanie Plumb books will LOVE Sierra!, September 2, 2000
By A Customer
I first bought The Miracle Strip because I was going through a Stephanie Plumb withdrawl. At first, the missing dog plot didn't seem like it would be able to sustain an entire book, but the way Nancy Bartholomew weaves the story with mystery and humor, the plot actually works! The humor in this book is definately similar to that of Janet Evanovich and this series will keep Evanovich fans entertained between Plumb outings! Sierra is a rare character in the fact that she is unappolgetic about what her profession is. She likes being an exotic dancer (NOT a stripper! <G>) and takes pride in doing her job (and her sleuthing) well. Do yourself a favor and buy this excellent book. You won't be sorry. :)

4.0 out of 5 stars This Evanovich Fan Finally found another FUN Series!, August 10, 2001
By 
"ynnig" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
I was so happy to come across this fun series. I eagerly devoured all of the Evanovich Books and someone recommended I should try the "Strip" Series. I loved it! I felt it was different enough from Evanovich but still had such Fun characters. Can't wait to read the rest in the series now!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fast-paced, humorous mystery with earthy characters, February 28, 1999
By 
lee@culpepper.com (Big Canoe, GA, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The Miracle Strip is a fast-paced mystery featuring earthy characters living in the underbelly of our culture. Nancy Bartholomew gives us a humorous yet realistic view of the frailty of people who both express and occasionally contain, the raw emotions we all feel. Her heroine, Sierra Lavotini, is an exotic dancer with beauty, brains, inner sensitivity, and a fierce loyalty to family and friends. She displays this with a reckless "kick butt" attitude that sets her on a wild adventure beginning with a vow to rescue her friend's dog, Arlo. Sierra's amazing and humorous acceptance of others is displayed in her description of Raydeen, her loyal friend and neighbor, who happens to be a paranoid schizophrenic. But Sierra's own comic complexity is enhanced by her struggle to be true to her "inner child" and a hidden desire to be a writer, as opposed to her love of making money and engaging in the fast-paced and exciting world of a stripper.

Nancy Bartholomew is a keen observer of our physical reality, has a great understanding of human motivation and behavior, and appreciates the humor found in our incongruous natures. She is quick in her thinking, and her stories pull us in and move us along. I'm looking forward to more tales of colorful characters and their adventures. Bravo Nance!
