"A laugh a minute book!"

This book was one hilarious madcap adventure after another. Poor Monique St. Cyr wants to be an investigative reporter in the worst way and she's stuck writing obituaries for the local newspaper. Still she's going to do what she can to get her career on the right track.

Monique lives in a duplex next door to her mother who writes erotic romance and she takes in pets that nobody wants anymore. Many of them have just a little something wrong with them. Still she thinks she's happy but it doesn't stop her from getting in to one scrape after another.

Monique's mother decides to do research on the Internet for her next novel and somehow drags Monique into the research of couples meeting online. The next thing Monique knows is she's being arrested for stiffing a restaurant for the bill and heaven knows what else. She also decides to drag her best friend Jeannine into the messes with her. Then she meets Jake Dube, a policeman who wants to be more than just friends with Monique but Monique doesn't want another broken heart.

This book had me in stitches from one page to the next. I have never laughed so hard. Poor Monique just ran from one misadventure to another without even knowing how or why. I look forward to reading more books by Diane Amos.
