New Books by Authors like Janet Evanovich
29 Feb 2016
Nothing compares to the satisfaction of solving a mystery before the detective in a book does (or am I alone in that sentiment? No, don’t tell me – I’m content in my ignorance). Mysteries are the book world’s solution to puzzles we can’t solve in our own lives: we can read about smart people who solve someone else’s impossible puzzles instead. If you are reading one of Janet Evanovich’s mystery books, you get to laugh and maybe even indulge in a little romance along the way. In the books listed below by authors like Janet Evanovich, they all have some element of mystery, romance, woman sleuth, suspense, humor, or all of the above. Looking for books to read by authors like Janet Evanovich? Look no further – we’ve got your back.
