Full Blast

This is an okay book co-written by Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes. When Jamie decides to increase revenues for her newspaper by starting a personal ads section, the town of Beaumont feels more heat than she expected. With the local Chinese-food joint creating risqué fortune cookies, the opening of a trashy lingerie shop, and the bakery dabbling in pornographic pastries, Jamie is convinced that the town is going to hell in a hand basket – and it’s all her fault! Several townsfolk end up dead, and the key to the murders is connected to the personal ads. Jamie finds herself battling her own raging hormones when ever-so-sexy Max Holt comes on board to help.

This is the 4th novel in the series.
