"I absolutely adored this book. Really fun but with a few teeth, as well. Mrs. Plansky is a terrific character. The story ticks along like a good watch.
Mrs. Plansky is a wonderfully memorable heroine, full of wit and equally plausible as an ace tennis player and a motorcycle-driving detective with Romanian gangsters hot on her tail. Readers will be eager to see what Mrs. Plansky gets up to next.
Terrific… Quinn radiates pure comedic genius.
Nothing short of masterful.
If you like Sue Grafton and Janet Evanovich, hop on this train.
" Plot starts out okay but falters confusing characters sorry I wasted my money author could have made the plot more interesting "
