RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Three women, each book editors for different publishers, all have a gripe with one arrogant agent, Jerry Key. After a Happy Hour bonding session, the three friends decide to play a prank on Mr. Key and give him his comeuppance. When he is murdered after the women tie him up and leave him in a hotel room, the women have more trouble on their hands than just an obnoxious man.

I found WHOLE LOTTA TROUBLE the perfect book to pick up for a cozy weekend read. Tallie, the central figure in the story, is endearing in her quest to find personal and professional success, by keeping her small-town niceness. Seeking to placate her mother, Tallie agrees to meet the son of one of her mom’s friends for a date. Keith turns out to be a sexy cop that just may be the perfect man for her.

Filled with a ton of action, it’s easy to become immersed in the adventures of Tallie and her friends. A thrilling, suspenseful, but humorous story featuring three young professional women with vastly differing personalities, WHOLE LOTTA TROUBLE is a whole lotta fun.
