Review:

'Instead of tickling gently, Bubbles smacks you with humor as broad as a whoopee pie in the kisser' Kirkus Reviews (Kirkus Reviews)

A highly entertaining read. Strohmeyer's literary main squeeze is Bubbles Yablonsky, Pennsylvania hairdresser and occasional crime reporter, a gal with a talent for indescructible beehive coiffures and getting into trouble (Midweek)

Bubbles has a life of her own. Strohmeyer...reaches down into the core of the character and the community (Booknews)

'In her second novel featuring high-energy beautician/rookie reporter, Bubbles Yablonsky, Strohmeyer successfully navigates the fine line between humorous stereotype and sympathetic amateur investigator...Bubbles goes undercover frantically (and hilariously) shifting between her role as a sexy reporter and her cover as an Amish widow...delightful' Publishers Weekly (Publishers Weekly)

From the Publisher:

Praise for Sarah Strohmeyer's debut novel, BUBBLES UNBOUND:
‘Hop in the Camaro and buckle up: Bubbles is behind the wheel, and a wild ride awaits’ Publishers Weekly

‘A wonderfully energising and skilful page-turner of a book. Strohmeyer will go far. We can’t have too much of this Bubbles of hers, this irresistible, lycra wearing, oddly wise hairdresser/detective’ Fay Weldon

‘Think Erin Brockovich meets Helen from Big Brother and you’ve got Bubbles Yablonksy... Very good’ Mirror

‘Sarah Strohmeyer’s sparkling debut is a breezy and funny mystery with a heroine who dresses like a Barbie doll and kicks ass like a marine. Bubbles is a wonderful creation’ Sparkle Hayter
