Next best read for Stephanie Plum Fans!

Do you love Stephanie Plum? Then you Evanovich fans have found your next good book to read! The character that Ms. Allen has created is just up your alley--Annie Natali is fun, young, attractive to the male species and seems to find herself in one situation after another. Like Stephanie, Annie has had failures at marriage and career. Like Stephanie, Annie also has a loving family and loyal friends that stand by her come "hell or high water". If you can overlook the publisher's (do not blame the author!) typos, you will discover that this may become your next favorite humorous mystery series -- if Ms. Allen writes more about this very likable lady.

My Mothers Shoes by Elizabeth Jean Allen

An excellent read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope to see more written by this author.

Whats not to love?

I had so much fun reading this mystery. Sex, secrets, scandal, suspense--it had it all! I feel as if I lived every minute of it with Annie.

Laugh Out Loud!

We've all kissed our share of toads in our search for Prince Charming, but some women just can't get a break. Such is the case in the humorous mystery, My Mother's Shoes. The debut novel of Elizabeth Jean Allen is a page turner loaded with characters you instantly love, and villains you love to hate. Annie Natali's mother has been gone for ten years and Annie is convinced she's dead. Everyone else in town thinks she ran off with another man--a pattern that had kept tongues wagging in their small hometown for as long as Annie could remember. But when her mother's shoes and purse are uncovered at a construction site, Annie starts sifting through the gossip and lies in search of the truth. Unfortunately, Annie has troubles of her own. She's separated from a cheating husband who wants to kill her. Her biological father tries to keep her employed at one job, while one of her step-fathers fires her from another. And a step-brother endeavors to keep her safe despite the fact she's too stubborn to accept his help because she's totally attracted to him. Small town, USA comes alive with gossip, scandal and hilarity as Annie attempts to solve her mother's murder while trying to keep herself out of the grave.

WOW! A great mystery!

This book was fun to read. It is presented in a light humerous way that keeps you reading. A refreshing change from the standard murder mystery. Take a break and treat yourself. The author will be one to follow in the years to come - she has talent and humor is her strength.
