Not One Clue

Title:   Not One Clue
Author: Lois Greiman
Series: Number 6
Type of book: Romantic Mystery and Suspense
Why did I read it? I have read all six of these and would read more if they existed.
How did I read it?:  Kindle eReader
Level of captivity: Had to read this one completely straight through
Scale of Fun
(1-5, 1 = not so much, 5 = so much fun I want more.)        4.8
Insomnia Scale
(1-5, 1=can stop reading and go to sleep at the proper bed time, 5=can’t sleep ‘til I am finished)                                                                             4.8
What I got from the book: Reading through this series featuring a Psychologist and a LAPD cop was like reading through five novels of foreplay before finally getting some satisfaction of a sort. Witty banter and SAT worthy vocabulary abound throughout all of the Christina McMullen series. None of them turns out the way you think they will, but they always make sense at the end. I do expect to have more of Christy and Jack in the future. If you like the fun and adventure of Evanovich’s novels you will want to give These a read while waiting for the next Plum adventure.

Unzipped



Title:   Unzipped
Author: Lois Greiman
Series: first in 6
Type of book: Romantic murder mystery and humor
Why did I read it? Like the genre, liked the description in Kindle bookstore
How did I read it?:  Kindle eReader
Level of captivity: Hooked by the end of the first chapter
Scale of Fun
(1-5, 1=not so much, 5=so much fun I want more.)            4.2
Insomnia Scale
(1-5, 1=can stop reading and go to sleep at the proper bed time, 5=can’t sleep ‘til I am finished)                                                                             4.5
What I got from the book: I like the protagonist here, Christy McMullen, as a doctor of Psychology. She has a new twist on the feminine way of thinking and the author’s first person story telling had me giggling a lot throughout this book. I was very pleased that I did not guess the murderer until revealed. I love the unexpected ending and this one has it. Have fun reading this one. I hope to get to the second book really soon.
