Format:Paperback
This is the second novel starring the irrepressible Bubbles Yablonksy - hairdresser & aspiring journalist.
Bubbles’ friend Janice disappears on her wedding day leaving behind the body of her Uncle Elwood. Anxious to prove that Janice is not a murderer, Bubbles follows her to Amish country to get to the truth, at the same time hoping to get a good story for her editor.
Bubbles’ friend Janice disappears on her wedding day leaving behind the body of her Uncle Elwood. Anxious to prove that Janice is not a murderer, Bubbles follows her to Amish country to get to the truth, at the same time hoping to get a good story for her editor.
Undercover as an Amish girl, Bubbles must manage without her beloved make-up and hot pants to find a murderer before her painted toe-nails and dark roots give her away!
Bubbles is a good character and this novel is as much fun as the first, although not very original. The world of Bubbles Yablonsky is startlingly like that of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum.
Both heroines are funny, feisty and share a love of big hair-dos, lycra and make-up. Both have a gorgeous guy in hot pursuit, a host of kooky relatives and both are trying out new careers which don’t exactly come naturally…with hilarious results.
Evanovich does it better, but Bubbles in Trouble is a fun read whilst you’re waiting for the next Stephanie Plum instalment.

Good fun, a comedy thriller with a cracking pace. Barbie-style hairdresser Bubbles is a great heroine, the only down side is that her recurring love interest is supposed to look like Mel Gibson. Eeyuk - the author needs to update her cultural reference points! Johnny Depp, anyone?

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I am sure that you have hear the saying, "never judge a book by its cover". Well that saying fits perfectly with this book. Sarah Strohmeyer has included all the elements that build up to create the perfect suspensful murder mystery book. She makes the reader believe that they know the ending and that it will be like any other book where the main character ends up 'happily ever after' on one page. But on the next she will make them believe,'well maybe it won't end up happily'. She has filled the book with humour such as the cosmetic college that Bubbles graduated from, Two Guys University. This book kept me up well past my bedtime, it captivates the reader with its intricate plot in the first couple pages. I could not suggest a better book to a murder mystery fans, I guarantee anybody that this book will provide the perfect entertaining read.

At last a cure for insomnia!! Sarah Strohmeyer's underwhelming sense of character and plot (there was a plot?) was like reading the script of Duck Soup written by Karl Marx. Read more

Hairdresser investigates.
Bubbles Yablonsky is built in the mould of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, she's a bit ditzy but she has a good heart and tends to get things done, somehow. Read more

Bubbles!
This is the second book. I didnt think it was a good as the first but still kept me gripped, some of it is a little unbelieveable but still a great book.
