A Deadly Change of Power

By Gina Cresse

Devonie has just returned from a glorious honeymoon with her husband, Craig. He is eager for their life to begin, uncomplicated by Devonie's knack for stumbling into mysteries and her determination to solve them. After a quick stop at the hospital where he works, Devonie witnesses a man trying to smother a patient. It turns out that the patient is an amnesiac, found by a fisherman in the ocean with no explanation. Naturally, Devonie wants to help this woman. When the woman's memory returns, she tells Devonie that her name is Ronnie and she is the sister of a racecar driver. She was supposed to go with him and others to Cabo San Lucas on vacation but was left behind. Soon, Devonie discovers that she is also an inventor and has discovered a way to make cars run without gasoline. As Devonie digs deeper into Ronnie's life she becomes the target of the people who tried to kill Ronnie for her inventions and her car designs.

Fossil Fuel--Who Needs It? (Not us!)

Although I've read Gina Cresse's books in the wrong order (I started by reading her most recent book, A DEADLY CHANGE OF LUCK),this book stands on its own even though it involves the same protagonist. Cresse starts with an intriguing premise: there are other ways to fuel cars than by gas-guzzling engines. (What good timing on my part--I've just been reading about the new "hybrid" cars, and have seriously considered buying one!) Cresse's style is unmistakable--smart and funny. She has a knack for creating lively,likeable characters, and I highly recommend this book.
