Description
Jane Hawkins bakes cookies for the church fundraiser, compliments your new curtains, and knows exactly how long it takes to dissolve a body in lye.
She’s your friendly neighborhood widow — charming, chatty, and terrifyingly efficient when it comes to murder. Twenty years ago, Jane was the East Coast’s most prolific serial killer. These days, she’s still living on Cape Cod, trading corpses for cozy mysteries and bloodstains for book tours. Retirement has been… fine. A little dull. Very beige.
But when a cocky true crime podcaster starts connecting the dots on her past, and a mysterious copycat starts reenacting her signature kills, Jane realizes she has a problem. Several, actually.
Now she’s stuck playing mentor to a man she should probably murder, tracking a killer who’s clearly a fan but lacks finesse, and trying very hard not to fall back into old habits.
Spoiler: She’s not trying that hard.
The bodies are piling up. The questions are getting uncomfortable. And Jane’s golden years are looking increasingly… red.
Wicked Fun by Dave Pasquantonio is a razor-sharp thriller for fans of dry martinis, dark secrets, and delightful sociopaths. If Jessica Fletcher had a body count and zero patience, her name would be Jane Hawkins.
MY REVIEW- 5 STARS- TITLE: WICKED FUN WITH WICKED PUNS
I LOVED it ! I know I probably shouldn't have loved this book so much but Dave, my man what a wicked sense of humor you have. Jane is so clever, and funny. Hilarious even; especially when it came to her thoughts being spoken out loud and some of those inner thoughts too !
Her adversary, Esmir Roux was something else !!! Clever also, pushy to the point of being a stalker and determined to prove Jane as a murder. The murder of the 10 people at least.
Dexter, the dog she ends up adopting was a hoot. And he ended up being the best addition to her solitary life; she said so herself !!
The ending of the story was even better than the beginning; with dangerous, quirky Jane trying to live a normal, quiet life. Will she be able to? I doubt it and I hope I find the next book because it looks like its going to be "delicious" too !!
I loved the cover for this book too. So appropriate and clever ! Sure fit Jane, the main character too !
NEXT BOOK- JANE HAWKINS, UNRETIRED SERIAL KILLER BK 1
