This is the second Gracie Smith novel I've read, I loved this almost more than the one I read previously - 'Sick as a Parrot.'
Throughout this book, it becomes obvious to the readers, that although Grace may be a little unconventionable and a magnet for chaos and trouble, she is very good at her job! O'Hara returns as mysterious as before and Grace does her best to keep her eyes on the task. She has a poison pen letter writer to detect and on top of that, a 12 year old teenage dissapearance to shed light on and a giant bunny hopping on her at any available moment. Her cases begin to reveal hidden secrets and cover ups from the past. Gracie manages to get herself into a few scrapes - it appears that someone is desperate to stop her snooping!
This book is funny and light hearted, but at the same time is capable of springing a few suprises on the reader. It transports its audience into a world of mystery and mayhem.
Another fantastic read written by Liz Evans - 'Cue The Easter Bunny' is a comic crime mixture - it really is worth a read. It had me transfixed for 24 hrs! It contains comedy and supense messed up into one package! If you enjoy this genre, then this is the book for you! It is well written and very entertaining!

I was introduced to Liz Evan's books by a happy accident, when JFK is Missing was included in error with a purchase of several Janet Evanovich novels. I greatly enjoyed it, as I have several of her other books, and I can only say that her writing just gets better and better.
Cue the Easter Bunny is a great read which manages to combine mystery and suspense with uproar and comedy. Witty, exciting plot, engaging main characters, hilarious situations, and lots of one liners, mostly with a rabbit theme.
Grace, a PI,and sometime Easter Bunny, is refreshingly set in Seatoun, a seaside town that is probably well past its heyday, where she works her way through it all with wry humour,open self interest and professionalism.
This book is a good laugh, a good read and a great tonic.

I don't know why more Americans haven't discoved Liz Evans

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Maybe because she hasn't been discovered by American publishers. I don't know why -- it's worth the effort to get one of her books. Literate, funny, good plotting, fairly complex plots -- these are books that you make you want to read the whole series. The detective character is Gracie Smith, a former police officer who was drummed out of the local constabulary (she's English) because she was suspected of taking a bribe that resulted in a policeman's killer going free. Her policeman father won't forgive her, despite her innocence, so she's estranged from her family. She's not the easiest person -- very independent, notoriously cheap (she's a scrounger), and very direct -- says what's on her mind (which is sometimes very funny). She lives in a small seaside town and works as a private investigator.
In this book, the latest in the series, Gracie is asked to investigate some poison pen letters -- but she's asked to investigate by the recipient's mother, who doesn't want her son to know she's hired an investigator. The son is married to a famous television actress who is filming her series in the town and has bought a house she's renovating. Grace presents herself as a gardener to gain entree to the house (although Grace knows NOTHING about gardening and ends up whacking away at the overgrown back yard -- garden -- with a chain saw). The couple have a rather strange young woman living with them, and Grace makes friends with her to try to spend more time inside the house so she can watch the mail and find out who might have a grudge against the man and why.
It becomes clear that since this couple grew up in the area, the letters could -- and probably do -- involve something that happened 15 or so years ago. But what? And who is sending the letters and why? The man involved is rather unstable, which makes matters worse.
Then at the same time, an old boyfriend (someone she still has attractions to but is wary of) also hires her, to look into the death/disappearance of a 14 year old girl. The girl's parents don't want any reinvestigation, so first she has to persuade them and others involved in the case to cooperate. ALthough the person who is believed to have killed the girl died at the time (killed by the girl's father?), no body has ever been found.
This probably isn't my very favorite in the series but it's a very good mystery that I highly recommend.

Evans reminds me of a funnier and more realistically creative version of many "funny mystery series" books in the US. Cue the Easter Bunny and Sick as a Parrot are laugh out loud reading! While all of Evans books are well worth the hunt to find them, the two I just listed are the funniest. The main character is smart, witty, and brave; and more believable that many female leads. If you like the Stephanie Plum novels, you will love these.
