Would benefit from more plot and less sex

It's really a three and a half stars -- entertaining reading for a weekend, but less than memorable.

What's frustrating is that it could have been a lot better if (I suspect) some editor hadn't made the author take out a couple of chapters worth of plot and substitute near-erotica.

Okay, Jolie and her hero were in love five years ago, had lots of hot sex, now encounter one another again, and resume the practice. Okay. That's fine. The reader doesn't need TMI, but that's what the reader gets in this instance, which is too bad, because there's an interesting story going on outside the bedroom (and out of the swimming pool, etc. for all the other locales).

mischief making sleuthing

Former Philadelphia cop turned private investigator Teddy Sunshine is found dead stunning his three adult children, Jolie, Jade and Jessica. However, even more shocking the police say he killed himself and murdered the wife of mayoral candidate Joshua Brainard. None of the three Sunshine sisters believe their father would commit suicide or a homicide; they agree to solve his cases because they feel one of them led to two murders.

Actress Jolie has put her rising career on hold as she grieves her loss and begins to investigate her portion of the caseload. Her former lover Sam is there for her in terms of comforting her and working with her on her cases.

The first Sunshine Girls Romantic Caper is a terrific tale that introduces the readers to the sisters inside a strong amateur sleuth. Jolie is the prime star of the aptly titled DIAL M FOR MISCHIEF, as the actress works some of her father's open cases though her efforts lead to mistakes and trouble, but amusement and fun for the audience. Fans will look forward to the escapades of the other Js after following "Jolly Green Jolie's adventures in mischief making sleuthing.

Another Michaels' hit

It's been five years since Jolie Sunshine left home, and Sam Becket, to chase her dream in Hollywood. When she comes home for her father's funeral, she wants to focus on proving her father didn't kill someone and then commit suicide. The last thing she wants to deal with is Sam and the bad way they ended things.

Sam Becket never got over Jolie and the way things ended so when he hears about Teddy Sunshine's death and funeral, he knows he wants to be there for Jolie. He offers his home as a base of operations for Jolie and her sisters - a safe haven away from the paparazzi.

Believing they were the key to proving her father's innocence, the two worked together on the cold case files her private investigator father had been recently working on. Being together is like old times but they both recognize that the reasons they were apart have not gone away. Will they be able to put aside the past and move forward to a new future - together?

One of the things I loved about this book is that Sam Becket is a descendant of Ainsley Becket of the Romney Marsh series Beckets. When I read Becket's Last Stand (the last in the series), I was surprised by a twist at the end with Ainsley (which I won't spoil here) and almost felt like there was more to his story, so I was very happy to see his character revived - in a way - in this story. Plus, it helped make this book feel like I was sitting down with old friends, swapping stories, instead of coming to the table with all new characters I had to get to know. I thoroughly enjoyed Dial M for Mischief and anxiously await the next in the series.
