Wicked Business Book Review

I finished the previous series and I thought I would read a single book instead of starting the next series I had in my pile.  I picked out Wicked Business: A Lizzy and Diesel Novel (Lizzy & Diese​l) by Janet Evanovich which I found at the library when I was looking for something fun to read in the new section while my son was reading to my mom.  It was a great opportunity to read some great new books!!

In the book, Lizzie is working with Diesel again to find next stone and solving lots of mysteries along the way.  A Harvard University English professor, Gilbert Reedy, is mysteriously murdered and thrown off his fourth-floor balcony, while in search of the perfect love.  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 which the professor was trying to also change to work to find true love. Following clues contained in a cryptic nineteenth-century book of sonnets from the magic shop that the professor had, Lizzy and Diesel tear through Boston catacombs, government buildings, and multimillion-dollar residences, leaving a trail of robbed graves, public disturbances, and more trouble.  It was funny to follow the path of the clues that lead to the next clue while they were trying to outrun and out think the bad guys!!  See who wins in the end when you pick up this book

I loved it!  As all my other books by Janet Evanovich, I enjoyed the characters and the story.  I have to say that this is a book that you could never take seriously so as long as you are not looking for the next great American novel, this will entertain and keep amused all the way through.  Janet Evanovich is a great writer with great characters who you learn love.  I can't wait to read another book in this series (or any of her series for that matter). While the characters get themselves into big messes, they always work to get themselves out of the mess that they are in through the book.  This was no different because there was so much going on with all of the searching for the stone (again).  I hope you check out this great series by Janet Evanovich the next time you go to the library or bookstore!!
