Set very convincingly in NOLA
Every character in this book is a terrible person (but comically so.) If that bothers you, you should skip it. (0 more)
It's own special flavor of humor, takes a couple pages to really "get it"
Sometimes if I get offended unnecessarily, I picture the main character in this book, reacting with histrionics an I chuckle to myself and move on with my life.

This is my new favorite show
Yeah, I am a little behind the times. Im only on season 5 but this show cracks me up. It’s rare to find a show with intelligent humor. I am constantly having to look things up so that I understand what they are talking about. I love a show that makes me learn. And Mayim Bialik is hilarious!

<i>Stolen</i> was violent, bloody, twisted, and I loved it! Elena is a great character and the book is written with an easy style and some dry humor thrown in for good measure. Sure, it was slow-starting and there were some parts that were drawn out too long, but I enjoyed the ride when it picked up. I can't wait to get to Kelley Armstrong's other books.

This delightful picture book finds shows the dangers of walking into a strange house. What if Goldilocks wandered into a trap instead of the house of the three bears? It's filled with humor that those familiar with the original story will find delightful. I couldn't stop grinning as I read it.

A night out with Kate's new mommy group turns deadly when one of the members is found dead at the bottom of some stairs. Tragic accident or murder? Lots of humor, and I identified with Kate a little too much. The plot is a little uneven, but still an enjoyable book.

Meg is helping out her brother at his new computer company, Mutant Wizards. Unofficially, she's trying to figure out what is going wrong in the company. Unfortunately, before she can figure it out, the office practical joker is killed. The humor is a little light, but the mystery is strong.

When Aaron is asked to clear a young man with Asperger Syndrome, he can't say no. The police do have a pretty compelling case, can Aaron prove he is innocent? The sub-plots threaten to take over at times, but the humor and characters kept me quickly turning pages.

Cora Felton meets her Japanese counterpart as a mysterious death happens in town. Now it's a race for honor to solve the crime. There's plenty of humor in this book, and the story is pretty good. But the characters are getting stale, especially Dennis. Enjoyable, but most for the fans.
