Buckle your seat belts. Number-one New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich is moving into the fast lane with Metro Girl, a thrilling, high-octane misadventure with high stakes, hot nights, cold-blooded murder, sunken treasure, a woman with a chassis built for speed, and one very good, very sexy NASCAR driver who's along for the ride.
"Wild" Bill Barnaby's dropped off the face of the earth and big sister Alex heads for Miami, Bill's last known sighting, on a harrowing hunt to save her brother ... and maybe the world. Alex blasts through the bars of South Beach and points her search south to Key West and Cuba, laying waste to Miami hit men, dodging Palmetto bugs big enough to eat her alive, and putting the pedal to the metal with NASCAR driver Sam Hooker. Engaged in a deadly race, Wild Bill's "borrowed" Hooker's sixty-five-foot Hatteras and sailed off into the sunset ... just when Hooker has plans for the boat. Hooker figures he'll attach himself to Alex and maybe run into scumbag Bill. The race to the finish is hot and hard.

"Wish I had friends who had friends like these. Barney got a phone call from her brother in the middle of the night ending with a womans scream! She jumps on a plane to "save him"! Sorry, but I had to laugh at some of the trouble she got into in this adventure! Another super fun read! " — Nana (5 out of 5 stars)

“A spunky heroine…cheery.”
“Sheer comic ingenuity.”
“Moves at a breezy pace, engaging the reader...fun in the Florida fast lane.”
“A fast, crisp book.”
“Clever, approachable characters.”
“A good combination of light thriller and fast-paced action.”
" Just did not care for this one "
" How can she be so entertaining when writing mysteries, and so awful writing general romance? Who knows. "
" Laugh out loud funny, I have read this book a couple times!!! "
" Granted, not my genre, but it was painful to get through this. "
" I don't care much for her other series, I've tried several and they didn't do much for me. "
" Like the Plum series better, but this is good too! "
" I guess I was looking for the same type of book as her numbered series. This one just didn't do it for me. Too loyal to her other series I guess. I didn't finish this book. "
" Typical Janet Evanovich - very girly, slightly trashy, and an easy read. "
" Excellent. As good as the Stephanie Plum novels. "
" Fun quick book to read. "
" Check out from the public library. "
" These are such light fluff reads, but I can't help myself. I'm always looking for Evanovich's next novel. This author makes me laugh and some of her characters keep me in stitches. "
" This was a funny, witty, and engaging book. I look forward to reading more of her books. The characters were fun, the dialog was spicy. Definitely worth a read if you are a fan of Lisa Lutz (or of Janet Evanovich! LOL!) "
" Probably more like 2.5 stars. I did not enjoy as much at the Plum series, but it was okay. "
" Not Evanovich's best mystery, and it was a little scummy. I didn't finish it. "
" Alex (female) goes in search of brother who has disappeared. Meets a NASCAR driver who helps in the search. Story misses something - unless you want a mindless read, don't bother. "
" FUNNY! Couldn't put it down. Can't wait to start the sequel - "Motor Mouth"! "
" mmm, not so good. "
" Just not as wild about these as Stephanie Plum, but I still like 'em. "
" Surprisingly funny... up there with many of the Stephanie Plum books though I think I would have preferred "Nascar Guy" not to have so many dumb redneck moments. "
" First book i read by this author..Terrible. It was boring..I forced myself to read it, since a friend of mine swore it was good..So i picked up the 2nd book motor mouth and stopped at chapter 3 and gave up..Waste of time.. "
" boooooooring! "
" It seems like Plum is starting to get a bit stale, so I was happy to find Barney and Hooker. It was a humorous and fun read! "
" It was okay, but not as good as 'One for the Money' "
" I love the comedy Janet puts in her books I do love the characters I just had to shift geers :O) "
" I am totally in love with both Barney and Sam Hooker. This is even better than Stephanie Plum!! "
" A quick entertaining read. "
" Up to this point I had only read the Stephanie Plum serious. The story line is very similar with a different character. Once again very easy reads. If you the love the Plum series you will like this one too. "
" Heroine goes to Miami to rescue brother - meets macho NASCAR guy - saves the day. fun to read "
" Perfect weekend getaway book. Not as much language in this as the Stephanie Plum novels, which was a breath of fresh air. "
" couldn't stand this book but finished it because it was an audiobook. i think it was the voice i didn't like. "
" Alex and Hooker into international waters, exposing a plot to grab Cuban gold and a sinister relic of the Cuban missile crises. "
" This is a normal far fetched "fluff" book for me that is a quick and easy read. I did not find this as funny as they Stephanie Plum series but did have a couple moments of laugh outs. Although I keep reading more for Slick and Gimpy's sake as opposed to the whole plot of the story "
" This isn't a Stephanie Plum book which for me was a nice change. This is another Evanovich book that can be read in a long afternoon. As with all of her books there are passages that are laugh out loud funny. "
" I thought this was a great book! It was fun to read & didn't want to put it down so I read it in a night! I read it a few years back and still like to re-read it every once in a while.Enjoy! "
" I enjoy the quirky book and looking forward the next one. "
" Metro Girl introduces a new set of characters but with the same fun, snarky, irreverent style we've come to love in Stephanie Plum novels. Definitely a "must read" for Janet Evanovich fans. "
" Ms. Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series is one of my all time favorite series so my expectations were very high for this new novel. Unfortunately they were not met. The book was just not as engaging nor as witty as I expected it to be. "
