Publisher's summary

From the NY Times Bestselling duo that wrote Agnes and the Hitman, the second book in the Liz Danger series.

Liz Danger is a ghostwriter, trapped in her old hometown for the summer. Good thing she has Vince Cooper, her recurring one-night stand living down by the river in his old diner car, making her feel happy and safe and normal until September when she’ll be leaving again, although she’s starting to wonder if she really wants to.

Vince Cooper is a cop in a town with a shady new housing development that’s bringing a lot of armed strangers, a corrupt mayor, a police chief boss under fire, and an idiot blogger stirring up trouble. Good thing his recurring one-night stand is sticking around for the summer. The only drawback? He’s not looking forward to the empty space Liz Danger will leave behind her when she goes in September.

Treacherous small-town politics, a rust belt biker gang, a widowed ex who doesn’t understand the word “no,” a seven-year-old in need of a temporary mom, a flamboyant blonde boss who needs watched at all times, exploding family secrets, arson, murder, and three hundred and ninety-two soaking wet teddy bears later, Liz and Vince will come face to face with the madman burning down their town, and even worse, with their imploding relationship.

“A comic caper and raucous romance. . . laugh out loud funny.” Kirkus Reviews on Agnes and the Hitman

“A sex, sassy, and smart combination of romance and suspense that is simply irresistible.” Booklist on Don’t Look Down

REST IN PINK: There’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight.

Love the community building

The first book started a bit slow. I felt Rest in Pink was easier to settle into & had a more even, lively pace. And while in general I don’t like death & destruction, the destruction was mostly property damage & the updates from beyond were pretty entertaining. Also. every mention of a cardboard museum hit the amusement button in my brain.

Liz & Vince go from regular hookups to responsible adults in this installment. I think there was lots of good progress on the “how to relationship” front - namely “we do things that affect us both together, not separately”, while being ggg — good, giving, & game. I liked how Liz addressed the Crystal situation, and bolstered precocious, but fragile, Peri. She kept promises that made Peri feel protected enough she could keep powering through the chaos of her life. When there are situations that could be disappointing, they aren’t disappointing- people talk about uncomfortable topics rather than stew in misunderstandings and when town gossips try to stir tensions, they fail, because the characters talk things out and, except for a certain present, and a revelation, aren’t particularly secretive - because they like each other.

I greatly enjoyed the last chapter or so, showing how the community was coalescing around Liz, Vince, and Anenome. I always enjoy Crusie’s community building characters & Mayer’s characters’ “let’s get this done” attitude. It works well here. This is a fine example of both.

Steam: medium. Liz & Vince get up to naked shenanigans, indulging each other’s fantasies, even taking advantage of some lingerie largesse from Anenome. This is an important part of their relationship from the jump so it’s a major through line but it’s not exceptionally detailed, being more fade to black than play by play, but the setups are clear & unambiguous.

Narration: I was able to relax and follow along easily. I like dual narrators, and these were smooth with even sound quality.

Loved the story, not the voices

I love everything Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer write together. They are my dream duo, but both narrators failed to capture the vibe of the book. Eric G Dove actually sounded like an AI voice.

Yes

I love Jennifer and Bob's books. Twists and turns and great banter makes for a great book. I only wish character names weren't so similar, but that's my issue.

Worth the Wait!

I saw the reviews and couldn’t wait to read this book when I saw it had been released. I loved it. Romance, characters to remember, mystery . . . I’m hoping for a sequel.

Have to hang in there

I read the first story and was disappointed so of course I listened to Agnes and the hit man wanting to be soothed then I read this book and the next. Just shoulder through the first book and then the next two are excellent!
