For a good laugh, pick up any of the series involving Christina McMullen, Ph.D. By the middle of the second chapter, I was literally laughing out loud. Chrissy (or Mac as her best friend calls her) has some zingers about men, life in general and herself that had me rolling off the bed laughing so hard. I read the first five chapters within an hour's time.

Having not read the first two in the series, I had to play catch up to the characters. This wasn't difficult as the recurring characters' personalities came through rather quickly. I was involved more with the doings of Christina and her crew (friends/associates) than the other stuff. The interactions between them are totally believable; so much so that I had forgotten that there was a mystery to solve.

It seems to me that Ms. McMullen knows trouble--and it follows her wherever she goes. But she has guardian angels and they come through, even when she is almost at her last breath at the hands of someone else.

Definitely a twisty end because I didn't see this coming at all. Very enjoyable, quick read. Wish I had time to read the others in the series. This book by Lois Greiman will keep you in stitches.
