WICKED BUSINESS Janet Evanovich

Description: JANET EVANOVICHWICKED BUSINESSa LIZZY AND DIESEL novelDoubleday Large Print Home Library Edition Condition: jacket is very good with a few scrapes/bumps; hardcover book is as new. Copyright date is 2012. I'd call this an occult mystery. From on line: 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. On their way they'll leave behind a trail of robbed graves, public disturbances, and general mayhem.Diesel's black sheep cousin, Gerwulf Grimoire, also wants the Stone. His motives are far from pure, and what he plans on doing with the treasure, no one knows...but Lizzy Tucker fears she's in his crosshairs. Never far and always watching, Grimoire has a growing, vested interest in the cupcake-baker-turned-finder-of-lost-things. As does another dangerous and dark opponent in the hunt - a devotee of lawlessness and chaos, known only as Anarchy. On-line Commentaries: I enjoyed this book better than the first book in the series. I laughed out loud in a few places. I will continue reading this series. I absolutely love this series...cupcake baker turned sleuth, Lizzy is funny as hell and Diesel is to-die-for sexy. The antics they get up to are just too much and their "crew" are just hysterical. We have Gloria "Glo", the counter girl at the bakery, who is a wizard-wanna-be and always trying potions on anyone requiring magical assistance and travels with her manly Broom. We have Carl, Diesel's pet monkey who's forever giving people the finger. We have Cat 7143, Lizzy's shelter cat who seems more like a familiar than a normal cat and he attacks bad people. We have Gerwulf "Wulf" Grimoire, Diesel's evil cousin who wants to the seven Stones of Saligia. And we have Steven Hatchet who is Wulf's evil minion. who is stuck in the Medieval age and acts, dresses and talks like he's back in the day. Oh and I guess we can't forget Anarchy, the nutjob bad girl who is always threatening to burn something down if she doesn't get her way. It's all just too funny.
