Agnes and the Hitman by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer

This is the second fiction collaboration between romance author Crusie and suspense author Mayer, and once again, it's a doozy!

Agnes' life is threatened as she is in the middle of preparing a wedding at her home, and Shane (the hitman) is sent in to protect her. Throw in a very quirky cast of characters, multiple murder attempts, a cast iron skillet, a lot of food, the mob and some bombs, and you've got this novel.

I think this is another fun collaboration, with a fun mix of suspense, death and mayhem with girly issues and a sassy romance. I think this improves on the formula set down by the first novel between the two, Don't Look Down.

Fun!

Note: I listened to the audio version, narrated by Sandra Burr. The echo-ey "thoughts" took some getting used to, but she did a fine job with all the characters and action.
