Book Review: Drop Dead Lola by Melissa Bourbon

Disclosure / Disclaimer: I received this book from Henery Press, via EdelweissPlus, free of charge, for review purposes on this blog. No compensation, monetary or in kind, has been received or implied for this post. Nor was I told how to post about it, all opinions are my own



                          Welcome to the series you didn't know you needed!

                                                                   Synopsis:

Things are topsy-turvy in Lola Cruz's world.

Lola's cousin is getting married, and Lola's in the wedding, dressed like a throwback from a John Hughes movie; her biological clock has started ticking; and the bachelorette party to beat all bachelorette parties is in the works. The evening's events will push all the women past their boundaries-including Lola.

But all that pales compared to the new case at Camacho & Associates. Not everyone is convinced that Jack Callaghan's childhood friend, Philip, committed suicide, least of all the man's mother, Marnie. Marnie hires the P.I. firm-and specifically Lola-to get to the bottom of her son's death. There's not much to go on, but Lola would rather drop dead than leave a case unsolved.

When a second attack happens against Marnie herself, Lola knows she's on the right track. Now her biological clock isn't the only thing ticking. She has to stop a murderer before he-or she-strikes again.

Review:

Need a book that will make you laugh and sputter, the whole way through? You've found it! Lola is totally relatable in her desire to make her family happy, her boyfriend happy, and to figure out why everyone seems to want to lie to her! If you LOVE the Stephanie Plum mysteries, then you've found her counterpart in Lola. Add in a decent little mystery, and this is a series you want to immerse yourself in, and be begging for more of!
