Another in the Bubbles series, this time she is investigating the happenings of an abandoned coal mine and dodging danger as well. Quick and lighthearted read. Interesting 'recipes' included.

A cute funny book! Bubbles gets into alot of trouble in this one! If you like Evanovich, you'll like Sarah Strohmeyer's Bubbles series!

"Two Guys Community College" journalism graduate, Bubbles Yablonsky is off and running again in this 3 installment in the Bubbles series.
Spandex & leopard print clad, bubblegum chomping, in-your-face sexy former hairdresser, Bubbles is still barely hanging on to her job as a part-time reporter for the local paper while solving murders and raising her teen-aged daughter.
Laugh-out-loud funny with likeable characters; as a bonus there are good beauty tips inside (such as a green-tea/potato compress for bags under the eyes as well as a peel-off-jello masque and a Miracle Whip facial, etc. When I was really feeling guilty about reading instead of doing chores, I rationalized that I was doing "self-improvement research" instead of pleasure reading (however, I didn't even fool myself)!

A fluffier version of a Stephanie plum book. In these the main character is a hair lady with desires to do investigative journalism. She has the required rough - tough guy to help her out, and some truly crazy family members to keep things interesting

Bubbles Yablonsky, hairdresser and wanna be big story reporter, bumbles her way through another engaging puzzle. With a cast of colorful characters and some laugh-out-loud funny lines, this book is once again downright amusing.

Bubbles #3
Not my favorite Bubbles book. Starts slow. Real slow. The ending was great.

Bubbles is a hoot. A hair dresser turned reporter, she fumbles her way through investigations. Always a great cast of characters and a hot love interest. Very entertaining the whole series through. I would suggest reading them in order.
I couldn't get into this book. I find dumb blonde jokes and stories annoying.

I really liked this book.

Being an old hairdresser myself, I love Bubbles! She's got spirit and smarts.

This book was just too much fun to put down!
A bizarre murder scene leads not-so-dumb blonde Bubbles Yablonsky and her main squeeze into the heart of a conspiracy linked to a secret cadre of strange women, and a mysterious assassin who wants Bubbles's investigation to go up in flames....

loved it
Another funny entry into this series. My wife and I both thought that the author was straining here and there trying to be funny, but overall it's still a good story with lots of good moments.

Another Bubbles book... What's not to love?
Bubbles Yablonsky has been summoned. Heeding the call from her boss at the News-Times, she's racing her Camaro toward an abandoned coal mine and a potentially big story. What she finds is the love of her life, Steve Stiletto, knocked unconscious-and another man with a hole in his chest. The bizarre scene will lead the not-so-dumb blond and her main squeeze straight into the heart of coal country-and a strange conspiracy linked to a cadre of women known as the Slagville Sirens, a local hot spot called Limbo, and a mysterious assassin who wants Bubbles's investigation to go up in flames.
Fizzy lighy fun in the genre of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. Bubbles is a bleach blond hairdresser with a heart of gold, a teenage daughter, an ambulance chasing lawyer ex-husband and a strong ambitions for a career as a newspaper reporter, which incidentally comes with frequently working with a hunky photojournalist. This series doesn't quite capture you the way that Evanovich's series does, but it's still light fun.

This is the third Bubbles book. If you enjoyed one and two you will like this one. Typical Bubbles action. All the regulars appear.

Sarah Strohmeyer's writing raises the Bubbles series well above the usual "occupation-oriented murder." This one involves a death in an abandoned coalmine, a death with strong links to the past. And someone does not want Bubbles to survive long enough to solve the mystery. But who?

Another fun Bubbles story!! She sure gets herself in a mess this time! But, our girl is getting smarter. I really enjoy this series.

I haven't read this particular book (just don't have the time), but the other one I read in this series was really cute and fun.
