PLOT

This series began with a single book, Full House, back in 1989 written by Janet Evanovich under the name Steffie Hall. Evanovich and her good friend, Charlotte Hughes, teamed up to make the book better and create a series from it. Fully of quirky but lovable characters, this series is funny and off the wall. Each book in the series comes with its own mystery, love story and slightly off center plot. There is no main character central to each book; rather they are all interconnected and take turns in the spotlight. This series is full of fun and laughs.

SCOOP

Evanovich is most known for her Stephanie Plum series, and this series is right up there. You can see similarities in the writing style. This series is a definite read for those who enjoy the lighter, funnier and sexier side of life. I was pleasantly surprised to find this series after I became hooked on the Stephanie Plum series. These are the perfect books to curl up on the couch with, along with some ice cream!!

This is a fun series. it is great to have a woman as the lead character, and she’s a detective as well. Mr. Smith was born in Africa and lived in Botswana so he has first hand knowledge of the culture he incorporates into the story.
