Downright outstanding!, Mar 7 2006
By Detra Fitch - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blondes Have More Felons (Mass Market Paperback)
Former Ohio corporate attorney December Vaughn has moved to sunny Florida. She has her own civil trial practice, but no furniture for her house. Seems the moving company enjoys its nepotist tendencies and her possessions are AWOL. But that is the least of December's worries.
Her first case is from Charlie Deaver. His wife died due to bad insilin produced by BDC, Inc. BDC is represented by the big guns at Langley & Cowan. When Langley tries to intimidate December, he only suceeds in making her dig in her three-inch heels.
Things soon become deadly, even involving an allegator that is set loose in December's new office. But December is not a wimpy blond! She has several mismatched people on her side. Max is the gorgeous and very talented office manager. Elderly Mr. Ellison is a jack-of-all-trades type of man. Emily is a card-shark, perfect housewife, and seems to kow a bit about almost every topic. Aunt Celia knows everybody that lives within a three or four county area. A large group of elderly women labelled the "casserole brigade". And then there is the former Navy SEAL turned P.I. Jake Brody.
By the time things are over December should consider writing her imaginary book titled "How to Stay Alive and Lose Weight in Thirty Days". Very apt and not a bad idea at all.
***** This terrific mystery series simply overflows with the most zany characters that readers cannot help but fall in love with! Yet the mystery plot is extremely serious. As the reader, I certainly learned a bit about civil and criminal law. Funny thing is that the author did it in such a humorous way that I did not even realize that I was absorbing the lessons. Downright outstanding and highly recommended! *****

A fun and witty mystery for chick lit lovers!, Mar 2 2006
By Little D - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blondes Have More Felons (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read Alesia Holliday's book 'Nice Girls Finish First' and thought it was a great story. I was sure I'd like this book, but what I didn't know was that I'd LOVE it!
December Vaughn and all the other characters have such different personalities, yet they are all likeable. Alesia Holliday did a great job writing a mystery with funny characters and witty comebacks. I hope she continues on writing more December Vaughn mysteries. This would be a great book for starting a series.
Keep it up!

Totally Fantastic, July 9 2007

I had a lot I wanted to do today, but made the big mistake of picking up Blondes Have More Felons. I finished it a few minutes ago and though I didn't get done what was on my list, I had a so much more enjoyable day between the pages of Alesia Holliday's book. This was a fantastic book which took me thru the range of emotions - laughter, tears and tension. Full speed ride from start to finish. If you finished reading Janet Evanovich's latest Stephanie Plum book and are depressed that you have to wait another year for the next - pick up Blondes Have More Felons and guaranteed you will be looking forward to the next December Vaughn's book over the next Stephanie Plum's. I hope Amazon's date on the next book in the series is wrong - because 2025 is too long to wait to spend more time with these wonderful characters.
