Agnes and the Hitman by Jennifer Crusie
5.0

Thank you, anonymous library patron.

This book was hilarious! It's about cooking (plus), has a woman who hits her cheating fiances (and yes, there have been more than one) in the head with frying pans, is a COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS crime story (random swamp rednecks are trying to kidnap Agnes' dog while the mob is trying to kill Shane (the superhot hitman) while Brenda (Agnes' best friend's mom) is trying to sabotage her own granddaughter's wedding so that Agnes' house will be foreclosed). There are shenanigans involving flamingos, a kid nicknamed Three Wheels b/c he fell of his tricycle once, lots of bombs, a Venus de Milo statue, a bomb shelter, and lots of and lots of frying pan violence.
