false <![CDATA[Agnes and the Hitman]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1188786596m/384457.jpg 384457 15 Take one food writer named Cranky Agnes, add a hitman named Shane, mix them together with a Southern mob wedding, a missing necklace, two annoyed flamingos, and a dog named Rhett and you've got a recipe for a sexy, hilarious novel about the disastrous side of true love. Agnes Crandall's life goes awry when a dog-napper invades her kitchen one night, seriously hampering her attempts to put on a wedding that she's staked her entire net worth on. Then a hero climbs through her bedroom window. His name is Shane, no last name, just Shane, and he has his own problems: he's got a big hit scheduled, a rival trying to take him out, and an ex-mobster uncle asking him to protect some little kid named Agnes. When he finds out that Agnes isn't so little, his uncle has forgotten to mention a missing five million bucks he might have lost in Agnes's house, and his last hit was a miss, Shane's life isn't looking so good, either. Then a bunch of lowlifes come looking for the money, a string of hit men show up for Agnes, and some wedding guests gather with intent to throw more than rice. Agnes and Shane have their hands full with greed, florists, treachery, flamingos, mayhem, mothers of the bride, and most dangerous of all each other. <i>Agnes and the Hitman</i> is the perfect combination of sugar and spice, sweet and salty a novel of delicious proportions. 1734360 book 21 8 2007 Agnes and the Hitman total:1726|5:488|4:630|3:458|2:115|1:35| 1726 6599 2272 382 4 6 false false Fri Jun 20 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue May 13 10:57:43 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 10 09:57:44 -0700 2009 "... your ass is grass and I am a John Deere super-classic riding lawn mower with a V6 engine and a double cutting blade, do I make myself clear?" - Agnes Crandall a/k/a Cranky Agnes
