July’s Books
It’s tough to find a light, funny novel. Too many Janet Evanovich wannabees out there, trying way too hard. Gwen Freeman’s “Crazy fool kills five” is one of them. The heroine, Fifi Cutter, is an unemployed insurance investigator who takes a temporary job assisting on a wrongful death suit. Five people were filled when a private jet crashed. Fifi is hampered by her brother Bosco, an unemployed charming con artist. The author is attempting kookiness where none is to be had. The offbeat and slightly incompetent Fifi, the eccentric relatives, the attempts at clever dialog, just miss the mark. Better luck next time.
Baker, Deb. Murder grins and bears it
Cook, Claire. Life’s a beach
Block, Lawrence. Hit and run
Freeman, Gwen. Crazy fool kills five
Evanovich, Janet. Fearless fourteen
Fatsis, Stefan. A few seconds of panic: a 5-foot-8 170 pound 43 year old sports writer plays in the NFL
