"Love it! A lot of growth for Bubbles in this book, which is what sets it apart from Evanovich's Plum series. Bubbles maintains her loveable blond character but still experiences enough growth to truly progress the series forward. "
— Rachel (4 out of 5 stars)
“As much effervescent fun as its heroine’s name.”
— Meg Cabot, author of the Princess Diaries and The Boy Next Door“A pacy, racy, witty roller coaster of a read…I love its wit, its humor, and its breakneck pace. And I love Bubbles.”
— Marina Keyes, author of Angels“Strohmeyer expertly plays Bubbles’ blue-collar working class background against the monolithic Lehigh Steel’s country club types and their wives.”
— Publishers Weekly“Strohmeyer’s sharp dialogue gives her fourth an edge even Bubbles’ clippers can’t match.”
— Kirkus Reviews" Another one of my attempts at liking girly mystery stories... It's cute in a way, but mostly flaky and cheesy. I don't recommend it to anyone. "
— Lindsay, 4/27/2011" I'm enjoying this series, but I don't have a whole lot to say about it. They're all mostly the same. Reasonably funny with a good mystery that's just twisty enough to keep me interested. "
— Jenn, 3/18/2011" Loving the line that defines the rules of female economics "Men have needs which women manipulate in exchange for goods and services." "
— NerdyOZ, 11/28/2010" More adventures in the unlikely life of Bubble Yablonsky aided by a madcap crew of eccentric characters follow her through Lehigh's steel industry. "
— Lynda, 10/11/2010" Another enjoyable Bubbles mystery by Ms. Strohmeyer. I look forward to the next one! This was on audio, and the reader is most excellent. "
— Kim, 7/17/2010" I picked up this book as something mindless and easy to stop and start. I have absolutely been bored. I just don't understand the character. She is smart and dumb all at the same time. Really annoying too! I would not suggest anyone read this book. I am not even going to finish it! "
— Heidi, 5/18/2009" Really like these. Even better because I lived in the area Bubbles is in. Funny! "
— Luna, 3/11/2009" Bubbles is trying to make it big and ties to help an escaped murder clear her name of her husbands murder. "
— *Babs*, 1/29/2009" Book # 4 and the plotting is weak. This mind candy isn't worth the calories. "
— F, 1/23/2009" I love this series. If nothing else it's great for an easy read, good laugh, and you learn some new terms like Peanut Butter Legs. "
— Stephanie, 1/1/2009" Girly girl book. I love it! I guess I went out of order so I'll have to go backwards now, because this was not the 1st in the series. "
