One Fine Mess by Mark Petersen

4.0

"One Fine Mess" by Mark Petersen is definitely an adventure filled crime comedy. Jules Nichols is a fierce, determined woman who emerges as a protective lioness once her family is threatened. I could not help but admire her strength and resolve during the toughest of times. Wesley is an adorable goofball and very earnest. The journey of Cadillac Frank to Half-A**ed Frank (in the literal sense) was hilarious though I ended up feeling bad for him (just a little bit). There are several laugh out loud moments and once you get used to the writing style, this book is one rollercoaster of a ride. I really like how Mark introduced the supporting characters (Detective Burpee, Emma, Homer, Bree along with Sal and Pino) and they fit well into the overall plot of the story. The overall style of the book certainly gave me Carl Hiaasen and Janet Evanovich vibes!
