Plot Summary of Full Blast
"The newest installment to the Evanovich/Hughes collaboration continues the story of Jamie Swift, a newspaper owner and editor and her romantic interest Max Holt. When a murder occurs in a small southern town people take notice, but when the sheriff believes it may be connected to her new personal ads, Jamie calls in Max to help. A millionaire genius never hurts your odds of coming out on top, and he's a hunk. Throw in a lingerie store protest, a depressed bloodhound, aphrodisiac laced brownies, and a smart car reminiscent of "Knight Rider" and the laughs never end."
Manda, Resident Scholar
