The hardcover edition of Wicked Business contains Plum & Wicked stickers inside! Janet Evanovich, mega-bestselling author of the beloved Stephanie Plum series, is back and better than ever. Her novels, hailed by GQ as “among the great joys of contemporary crime fiction,” deliver rollicking adventure with crackling wit and hilarious mayhem. And, now, one of the hottest writers today returns with dynamic duo Lizzy and Diesel to prove that when hunting down bad guys, the real fun is in the chase. When Harvard University English professor and dyed-in-the-wool romantic Gilbert Reedy is mysteriously murdered and thrown off his fourth-floor balcony, Lizzy and Diesel take up his twenty-year quest for the Luxuria Stone, an ancient relic believed by some to be infused with the power of lust. Following clues contained in a cryptic nineteenth-century book of sonnets, Lizzy and Diesel tear through Boston catacombs, government buildings, and multimillion-dollar residences, leaving a trail of robbed graves, public disturbances, and spontaneous seduction. Janet Evanovich does it again and gives us another exciting un-put-down-able read that is striking a chord with readers everywhere!

"I enjoyed part two of the Lizzy and Diesel series. It gives me a much needed break from reality and anything that can make me laugh out loud while reading is good with me. I think this series has promise to continue and be very successful. We know there will be at least five more books because only two of the major plot elements have been found. I look forward to those coming out!" — Julie (5 out of 5 stars)

No less than her plotting, Evanovich’s characterizations are models of screwball artistry. . . . The intricate plot machinery of her comic capers is fueled by inventive twists.
[Evanovich’s novels are] among the great joys of contemporary crime fiction.
" A rather lackluster addition to the series. It felt very rough and perfunctory to me; it read more like a story outline than a finished book. Bit of a money grub releasing this in hardcover (which, if it broke 200 pages, must have used some pretty generous spacing). "
" Second in the Lizzie & Diesel series, it was pretty much what I expected. A fun, quick summer read! "
" I guess I just read all the Evanovich stuff because I've read all the Evanovich stuff, you know? This was fine. I'm always less into her paranormal things, and this series is all strange powers and spells and very light on character development. It's a fast read. "
" Carl is probably my favorite character in these books! "
" Loved it :0). Can't wait for the next one. Lizzie and Diesel make a great pare. "
" I just loved this book. It was funny, a good mystery, and a paranormal twist to it. I have found a new authour to read. I cannot wait to read more books in this series. "
" Nice light reading, I liked it. "
" I love Carl, the monkey! "
" Adorable book. Just a lot of fun to read. Easy style with comedic language. "
" I liked this book. It was kind of a funny Harry Potter. "
" Book was great! A fast read, I completed it in two days with many distractions, but I fell right back into the Lizzy/Diesel/Wulf mix. So worth it. "
" Fun read! Can't wait for the next one! "
" Never a dull moment with Diesel and Wulf and Carl around. One more good one! Thans Janet! "
" Another book that is a LOT of fun...it has it all: magick, cupcakes, a psychotic arsonist, a puzzle, and a sexy guy that the main character can't have...good stuff! "
" Very enjoyable read. Clever, suspenseful, and humorous. Can't wait for the next book in the series! "
" It's ...ya know okay. It's entertaining enough, but she's lost her cleverness and recycles too much of well everything. "
" This book had some great lines and crazy action and secondary characters too. Lizzy, Diesel, Wulf, Glo, Hatchet, Carl the Monkey, and a little Anarchy too are worth a visit. "
" I enjoyed this one much more than the first yes it's Stephanie plum In a bakery but I could see her working there I don't know if I was just more open to this series this time? "
" Don't have any "laugh out loud" moments with this series vs. Stephanie Plum, but it's still a good series with well developed characters. Pretty fast reading. "
" Not as good as the Plum books, but still a lot of fun. "
" maybe 3 1/2 stars...entertaining but not too many laugh out loud funny parts. "
" Fun, whimsical, and entertaining! A quick read. "
" Quick read-no thought needed "
" I listened to this as an audiobook and did not enjoy the voice of the reader. I think it would have been better had I read it and not listened to it because the voice was so off from the opening description of the character. "
" I found this book to be a bunch of fluff. Really, nothing at all. I had a hard time finishing it because it was just so silly and not very interesting, and I just didn't like it. "
" Wicked Business was a whole lot better than the first in my opinion. "
" I thought these books (Wicked Appetite and Wicked Business) were a really fun and easy read. There's a little bit of attraction, adventure, and magic. "
" Enjoyed this one more than the first book. Still do not know if I will bother with any others in the series. "
" Evanovich's books are usually good for a laugh, and I like the supernatural element of this series. Good for a beach read. "
