Don't Make Me Choose Between You and My Shoes
From the writing duo that gave us I Gave You My Heart, But You Sold It Online (2006) comes another laugh-out-loud escapade featuring The Domestic Equalizers, aka private investigators/beauty shop owners Edwina Perkins-Martin and Debbie Sue Overstreet. The big-haired and big-hearted Texas ladies are in New York City attending a national conference of PI's when they meet Celina Phillips, a shy librarian who dreams of becoming a PI herself. When a murder occurs in their hotel, the trio start their own investigation and lock horns with an infuriated (but very sexy) NYPD detective. Wacky fun.
The Downhill Lie: A Hacker's Return to a Ruinous Sport
The supremely satirical novelist Carl Hiaasen chronicles his return to a sport that has been the ruin of many. Thirty-two years after quitting golf forever, he decides to give the game another try, incorporating along the way every new technique, every sure-fire new contraption, and every piece of advice that he can find. And still, no improvement in his game. But, lucky for us, he did find lots of material for this hilarious book. Anyone who has ever teed up will understand his need to try just one more time.
I Still Have It, I Just Can't Remember Where I Put It
Keeping a sense of humor in life is essential - especially when it comes to getting older. Former chorus girl and current Las Vegas headliner Rita Rudner will keep you laughing all the way to the cosmetics counter. Her most recent book was a novel set in Vegas, Turning the Tables (2006). In this new new humor collection she takes on Botox, industrial-strength vitamins, plastic surgery, and no-line bifocals as fodder for her sharp-witted comedy style. Just don't blame Rita when your 'laugh lines' get deeper.
Master of the Delta
It is 1954 in Lakeland, Mississippi, and recent college graduate Jack Branch has returned to his hometown to teach high school English. One of his classes centers around the theme of evil, and one of the students in his class is Eddie Miller, whose father confessed to murdering a local teen several years ago. The two become friends, and Jack, in an attempt to help Eddie deal with his feelings for his father, urges the teen to investigate his father's crime. This is where things start to go wrong--horribly, irrevocably wrong. From the Edgar Award-winning author of The Chatham School Affair (1996) and last year's The Cloud of Unknowing.
