Rating: - Murder, Mayhem, Fun & Sex
Food columnist, Agnes Crandall is having a bad week. She has the wedding of the century to plan all while someone attempts to sabotage it; she has dog-nappers appearing in her kitchen; the threat of losing her house and a fiancé who is more interested in making money than in her. And then Shane, the hitman, appears through her bedroom window and Agnes realises her old problems were nothing compared to what's about to come.


This book is a deliciously chaotic but fun crime caper ... Read More

Rating: - Back on Form!
I've loved Jennifer Crusie's novels since reading Crazy for You and I have been disappointed by the fact that she seems to have stopped writing her own novels.

I didn't enjoy Don't Look Down but Agnes and the Hitman was a real treat. Excellent writing and I could barely tell who wrote what - so it felt like a seamless read.

Totally back on form, this felt more like Welcome to Temptation and Faking It. Great fun and I recommend it unreservedly.

I found this very confusing going back and forth between what is said and what is thought.
I just couldn't get into this format. I hope this is that last time Ms.Crusie writes in this manner.

Rating: - SPICY, FUNNY, ROMANTIC TALE


She's known as food writer Cranky Agnes. Actually that's really a pretty fair description of heroine Agnes Crandall at and away from her typewriter. "Fair description" may be an inaccuracy because authors Cruise and Mayer can come up with the most outre portraits of the characters they create, all of which makes for fun, fast-paced reading. This is to say nothing of their plots that twist and turn entertaining readers with a spicy, amusing, romantic tale.
