Happy Friday everybody!
Book Beginnings on Friday is hosted by Rose City Reader. The Friday 56 is hosted at Freda's Voice. Check out the links above for the rules and for the posts of the participants each week. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.Beginning:
Some men enter a woman's life and screw it up forever. Jimmy Rosolli did this to my Grandma Mazur. Not forever, gut for an afternoon las week when he married her in the casino at Atlantis and dropped dead forty-five minutes later.Friday 56:
"Unfortunately, you're creating a disturbance for our floor show," he said. "We're going to have to remove you."In the next instant I was bookended by the two goons, who each had a hand under an armpit. My feet were four inches off the floor, and I was whisked out of the Mole Hole. Slam! The door closed behind me, and I stood blinking in the bright sun.
This week I am spotlighting Twisted Twenty-Six by Janet Evanovich. It is the 26th in the Stephanie Plum series of humorous mysteries. I've owned it since April 13, 2021. Here's the description from Amazon:
Grandma Mazur has decided to get married again - this time to a local gangster named Jimmy Rosolli. If Stephanie has her doubts about this marriage, she doesn't have to worry for long, because the groom drops dead of a heart attack 45 minutes after saying, "I do."
A sad day for Grandma Mazur turns into something far more dangerous when Jimmy's former "business partners" are convinced that his new widow is keeping the keys to a financial windfall all to herself. But the one thing these wise guys didn't count on was the widow's bounty hunter granddaughter, who'll do anything to save her.
Definitely a series that I should read!! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteGrandma Mazur was my favorite character when I was reading the series. Did Stephanie ever choose a guy? I ended up giving up the series about 14 or 15 books in, but I did enjoy the books. I hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a mystery with a current of fun running through it. Enjoy! Have a terrific weekend.

ReplyDeletesounds like a good one! I like the sense that there's some wry humour mixed into it. Happy Reading!
