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."

" Just a fun book to read "

" Enjoyed this instalment easy reading with humour "

" 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.... "
— Sarah, 1/22/2014 -
" 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. "
— Nick, 1/21/2014 -
" Loved it as usual. She really has some outlandish characters but I love them all! She makes crazy fun. Great series. "

— Laurie, 12/27/2013 -
" This series was recommended to me since I like Janet Evanovich's books. I'm SO glad that I picked this book up! It's great! Bubbles is a great character and the supporting characters cracked me up. It even has a pretty good mystery! Fun, quick read! Highly recommended! "
— Amy, 12/14/2013 -
" This series is just silly fun. I don't have a whole lot to say about it other than that I enjoyed it and Bubbles cracks me up. "
— Jenn, 12/6/2013 -
" Not quite as good as the first two.Too many peripheral characters to keep straight in my mind. On to book #4! "
— Becka, 12/3/2013 -
" Not as good as the first two but still okay "

" This was a great read as well her books are getting better with each one. Bubbles is in a mine with her boyfriend how will they make it out if this one? "

" It was a really cute book and I can vividly imagine all the characters and how they look and act but I dont think it was one of her best in the series. "
— Stephanie, 10/16/2013 -
" Another light fun read. Bubbles and the rest of the cast of wacky characters get into tricky spots. I picture Jennifer Coolidge from Legally Blond as Bubbles the hairdresser turned PI. "
