Pretty Good,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Cook In Time: An Angie Amalfi Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Joanne Pence's books are very good. I think out of all of the Angie/Paavo books I have only not liked one. This one was good (and strange)but I read it in one night. Angie is ditzy and when you team her up with her friend, Connie, it kind of reminds you of Lucy and Ethel. Paavo is serious, but his homicide investigations balance out the comedic adventures of Angie. Angie's adventures always tie up with Paavo's investigations towards the end and Paavo saves the day each time. I like these books. They are what I consider light reading and the characters have real like depth to them where you really find yourself caring what happens to them. Each book advances their background and you find out more about them. The only thing that I consider irritating is the name brand mentioning in the descriptions. That gets a little old. Yes, we know she is rich, but please I don't care what brand of clothes, shoes, jewelery, etc. Angie is wearing. All in all I would highly recommend this series if you want something light and fast to read. The books can definitely deliver up some comedy and will get your mind working to try to figure out who done it.

Pretty Bad,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Cook In Time: An Angie Amalfi Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
As someone who reads a lot of mysteries, I'm used to suspending belief somewhat for the sake of the story. However, this book is so ridiculous and far-fetched, it's an insult to the reader. The series just keeps getting worse. Angie is very hard to relate to. How many of us have no jobs but can afford designer clothes and Ferarri Testarossas? Her bubble-headedness is supposed to be endearing, I'm sure; it just ends up being annoying. How long is this relationship between Angie and Paavo going to go nowhere? The charcters are not likable, and the plot is absolutely absurd. Anyone looking for a good cozy should bypass this book.

What Do Aliens Eat ?,
This review is from: A Cook In Time: An Angie Amalfi Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Well maybe Angie does not find the answer to this question, but she does learn how much her policeman boyfriend Paavo feels about her.This Joanne Pence book has it all:Humor,romance and suspense.The only thing I was disspointed in was that the book jacket said " If you love books by Diane Mott Davidson and Densie Dieetz you will love this series."Well I do love Davidson's books but Pence's novel is nothing like them. While Davidson blends recipes into the story, Pence contains two at the end of the book. However, do not let this stop you from buying the book.
