"Light breezy amateur sleuth"
If one can get past Bubbles' bleached hair, heavy make up
and tight clothes, it isn't hard to understand why the
Lehigh, Pennsylvania hairdresser wants to be a reporter. A
story is the furthest thing from Bubbles' mind when she
arrives at the church to walk her best friend Janice Kramer
down the aisle. When Janice fails to show up, Bubbles goes
to her house where she finds her buddy's dead uncle but no
bride. Learning that Janice was brought up Amish, Bubbles heads
for her hometown of Wheelie in Pennsylvania's Lancaster
County to find her friend and clear her name. She goes
undercover dressing Amish and living with an Amish family
and gets involved in a different investigation, one that
could get her killed if she's not careful. BUBBLES IN TROUBLE is a light breezy amateur sleuth novel
that doesn't take it self very seriously but is none the
less a very entertaining mystery. The protagonist is
totally refreshing as she stays true to herself while
trying to better herself. Reading a Bubbles Yablonsky novel
is like watching an episode of I love Lucy. Harriet Klausner

SummaryNew York Times bestselling author Susan Andersen called
Bubbles Unbound "rollicking good fun. Bubbles rocks!" The
Houston Chronicle praised it as "riotous...a strong debut."
And award-winning author Carolyn Hart crowned it "fizzy as
bicarb, funny as Evanovich...should bubble right to the top
of the bestseller lists." Now the spandex-wearing, cleavage-
baring hairstylist-cum-journalist and sleuth from Lehigh,
Pennsylvania, returns in another wacky, wisecracking
mystery that offers a few priceless beauty tips along the
way.
New troubles for Bubbles: Her friend, bride-to-be Janice,
never showed up at the altar, and everybody's blaming
Bubbles for singing Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" at the
bachelorette party the night before. Now Bubbles has just
found Janice's uncle Elwood dead on his bathroom floor-his
skull bashed in and his Rolls Royce missing. The baffling
murder could be her Big Break as Bubbles goes deep
undercover in Whoopee, Pennsylvania (located between
Intercourse and Paradise) as a "plain girl from Ohio"
boarding with a local Amish family. That means no spandex,
no showers, and...no makeup. When she's not helping out on
the farm, Bubbles searches for clues-with the usual
hilarious results.
