Publisher Description

Agatha Award-winner Sarah Strohmeyer's Bubbles Ablaze is the third installment in her popular Bubbles Yablonsky series. In the tradition of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, Bubbles is a hairdressernvestigative reporter whose eye-catching wardrobe is only matched by her knack for outrageous adventures. When Bubbles' dream weekend with jet-setting photographer Steve Stiletto is interrupted by a series of circumstances that finds them careening down an abandoned mine shaft in a runaway coal car, it isn't long before she's discovered a dead body and found herself in the midst of a high-powered conspiracy.

"LOVED the Bubbles series by Sarah Strohmeyer!! Funny, engaging and so well written, with enough anticipation and surprise to keep the pages turning... the characters drew me in and kept me there. As I finished each book, I couldn't wait to open the next one in the series."

— Allison (5 out of 5 stars)

    " OK, this one was a little crazy for me. I still loved it, but falling down an abandoned mine shaft? really? Well in any event, it kept me laughing and wanting to read more, even if I was usually laughing at Stinky's name. Oh well, lets just wait for the next.... "

    " This was a struggle to get through. The author is clearly mimicking Janet Evanovich, but without the wit. The plot was much too confusing, with too many characters made to look overly quirky. Too bad, because some of the themes--miners' rights, for example--could have been explored effectively. "
