Four to Score by Janet Evanovich, 294 pages
It is always a delight to read a Stephanie Plum mystery by Janet Evanovich. Such a delight, in fact, that I was laughing within the first five pages.
Just when you think things can't get any more zany or wonky in Stephanie's life, things such as using a transvestite to help her crack codes or going to Atlantic City where her ride-along grandmother, Grandma Mazur, ends up on top of a poker table to get a better view of a fleeing bounty are found within the pages. Those are just the unusual antics among the usual ones found in this series: wacky family dinners, exploding vehicles, Rex the hamster, and a gun in a cookie jar are the usual suspects.
The Stephanie Plum series is most definitely a page-turner and a satisfying read for avid mystery fans.

I just checked out this book. I only recently found how awesome the Stephanie Plum novels are! If you are looking for other weird cozy mysteries I would suggest the Meg Langslow series by Donna Andrews.
