Synopsis

In the heat of Florida, Alex Barnaby, star of the hilarious ‘Metro Girl’,comes up against the irresistible hot racing driver and bad boy, Sam Hooker. Follow Alex’s antics and adventures in the brilliant high speed thriller, ‘Motor Mouth’.

A woman with a taste for speed and a talent for breaking the rules, Barney knows a little too much about cheating.First there was Hooker and that sales clerk, and now she's convinced that arch rival Huevo Motor Sports is up to no good on the track. Snooping to find evidence, Hooker, Barney and Beans, a 150-pound St Bernard hound, discover more than they bargained for – a shrink-wrapped body with a hole in its head. And the dead guy just happens to be Huevo's head honcho, Oscar. A number of competitors wanted him silenced, not to mention his long-suffering, surgically perfected wife, so who actually pulled the trigger?

Most likely the creep who dognaps Beans...

Barney, Hooker and the Super Cigar Ladies Felicia and Rosa shift into gear on a wild race around Florida and North Carolina to rescue Beans, outpace a pair of goons named Horse and Baldy...and expose a dirty cheater.

About this title

Review:

Praise for ‘Motor Mouth’:

‘Evanovich does funny as well as thrills and spills, so it’s smiles all the way to the chequered flag.’ Marie Claire

‘Alex Barnaby more than adequately fills [Stephanie Plum’s] shoes... the light-hearted narrative zips blithely along, full of jokes and comic asides, but backed up by a convincingly detailed backdrop.’ Observer

Praise for ‘Metro Girl’:

‘Always a delight... very enjoyable... the humour is irresistible. One can only look forward to the next Metro Girl adventure in the – fairly certain – knowledge that it will be as good as this one.’ The Times

‘Good fun.’ Sunday Telegraph

‘This latest won’t disappoint... the jokes are great and the dialogue is as tight and honed as a South Beach sunbather’s buns... sizzles along.’ Marie Claire

‘This book has fast-lane fun written all over it... ‘Metro Girl’ is so full of innuendo and sexy sunshine, you’ll forget it’s cold and miserable outside.’ Cosmopolitan

‘Janet Evanovich’s name raises expectations of a laughaloud story...an entertaining frolic.’ Sunday Telegraph
