Lots of NASCAR “stuff” in this book and weird gizmos I have no clue about! Unhappy with Hooker in this book. Don’t want to spoil it, so that’s all I will say. I own this book, but it isn’t even worth keeping.

I listened to the audio book.

This started out a smidge slow, but quickly escalated into one of the funniest things I've ever listened to. I'm a long haul trucker, and I listened to this in two shifts. I laughed so often I worried I would wake my husband, and I had tears trying to keep my chuckles quiet.

It is wholly unbelievable that they get away with it all, but I didn't care.

A very fun, dare I say hysterical, listen. I don't know how it would transfer to read the book, but the audio book is a no brainer. LOVED IT!

2.5 stars rounded up

Barney is back, now working as a spotter for NASCAR racer Hooker, although their romance that started in the first book is off after he had a drunken one night stand with a waitress. There is plenty of murder and mayhem once they start investigating what has to have been cheating in a race we read about near the start. This book wasn't as good as the first one. There were a couple of really funny parts, but honestly I don't think it has that same "it" factor that the Stephanie Plum series has, and this is, no doubt, why the following two books are just short graphic novels and the series petered out nearly as quickly as it began.

Oh how fun. I’d you like this author. This is in the same vein as the bounty hunter. Laugh out loud Dead men bitten by St. Bernard. Dead man wrapped in plastic. Inept bad guys.
The Uber mother gets even. Little poofy dog. New technology and NASCAR
LOVE HER BOOKS

The Barnaby series is her best yet!

I've been part of a corporate sponsorship team for a pretty famous/successful NASCAR driver and can attest, although the ones I met are nothing like Hooker, much of the details are real. I've been trackside at the pit and in the hauler. So that's fun.

Their adventures have a good pace, the mysteries keep me interested, and the characters are really fun.

Excellent laugh out loud story!

Anything by Janet Evanovich is word gold, A good story with tons of humor. The plot is easily followed, the characters are both hilarious and real, and the story is very good. I definitely highly recommend this book.
