Wickedly Good Read
A #1 New York Times bestselling author, Janet Evanovich, is currently enjoying the success of "Wicked Business," the second book in the Wicked series. Janet first experienced popularity with the Plum series, 23 fiction novels following the heroine Stephanie Plum in her journey to juggle her work life and personal life as a bounty hunter, daughter and girlfriend. The first novel in the series, "One for the Money," was adapted into a film, which was released in 2012 and featured actress Katherine Heigl as Ms. Plum. Keeping her stake in the romance game yet delving deeper into the world of mystery, Evanovich makes a departure from Stephanie and the Plum series with the sequel. "Wicked Business," her most recent novel, centers on a new protagonist named Lizzy Tucker who in a twist of fate goes from pastry chef to full-time relic hunter alongside her romantic interest, Gilbert Reedy. The job gets rough as she must persevere through mysterious chaos and outwit fellow treasure hunters to find the elusive Luxuria Stone. Evanovich’s new story is clearly being well received as only last week it was number one on the New York Times hardcover fiction list and continues to stay at the top. Fortunately there’s no need to peril through a cryptic search for this novel; you can buy Wicked Business online from Barnes & Noble or in store at the Westlake Promenade or Calabasas Commons.
