What can I say that I'm sure other readers haven't already said. I loved these first three books by Janet Evanovich. Stephanie is wacky, funny and vulnerable most the time and her luck is terrible. She can't keep a car running except the evil Buick she is doomed to and Grandma Mazur is a hoot. Reminds me of Sophia from Golden Girls on TV. The other characters are great and give a sense of family, a disturbed family but hilarious. I plan on reading every book in this series, as soon as I get my hands on them. The only thing I didn't like about the first three books is that they ended and I'll feel bad when I run out of the books to read. So Janet if you're reading this, keep writing!
