A bit better than the first, but not by much. I do like the main characters though and the way they interact with one another. Especially Pauline and Jagger! There is enough humor to make this a light read, but there is still something missing. The book never really grabbed me the way a lot of the cozies do. It was an improvement over the first one which was a bit lackluster, but still not as good as it could be.

Another great book in the style of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum.
Burnt out nurse Pauline working now as a insurance fraud investigator has gone undercover to help bust a illegal Viagra ring. Distracted by her fantasies about her handsome co-worker Nick...not to mention her dangerously sexy fellow investigator Jagger. However, there's nothing like a few more suspicious deaths to get a girl's mind back on the job at hand.

Not quite as good as Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum; but along the same order and a good mystery to boot.

I liked this light mystery. It is the type of book you can curl up with and read in one sitting.
