mycouscous 's review for:
Agnes and the Hitman
by Bob Mayer, Jennifer Crusie
I found Agnes and the Hitman to be a lively and raucous listen for the car. When it comes to books on CD, I can't always take serious and profound pieces of literature. While I gave this only 2 stars, it was a nice and entertaining fit for extended drives.
Agnes is a food columnist caught in a battle to keep her house and livlihood. Pitted against the a take-no-prisoners rival and possibly the mob, Agnes gets in over her head. Luckily the dreamy hitman Shane comes into the picture to help her straighten things out.
The writing and plot definitely made this light fare. It's pure escapist entertainment, often funny, but without much substance. The characters are enjoyable and the authors create quite a few truly funny scenarios. Recommended for those looking for a mix of light/funny intrigue and romance.
