Cat DeLuca Mysteries

review 1: This is the third book in the Cat DeLuca Mystery series, the author K.J. Larsen is actually three sisters writing together. That boggles the mind! Promoted as a Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum read-alike and I would agree. The setting is Chicago and not New Jersey. :( We have Cat (Stephanie Plum), her sidekick Cleo (Lulu), and two romantic interests Chance and Max (Ranger and Morelli). Of course, Cat never has her gun, just some ever present chapstick and car troubles. Her dad and brother are cops and support her activities which is about the only real difference from the Plum family. But where is Grandma Mazur? Cat DeLuca will fill in the time while waiting for the next Stephanie Plum.
review 2: Some Like It Hot by K.J Larsen was just released this week, o... moren March 5, 2013. I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy for my Kindle. The main character is Cat DeLuca and when her business partner and friend ends up dead, she sets out to solve the last case he was working on and find out who killed him. With an array of gun toting characters, tough guys and intimidating cops, there is never a dull moment in Cat's life. That being said, though, this book left me a bit underwhelmed. To me it is very reminiscent of the Stephanie Plum novels Janet Evanovich, however I very much prefer the Plum novels. l'm not sure if its because Some Like It Hot is actually the third book in the 'Cat DeLuca' series and I read it first. Maybe if I would have started with the first book I would have a better appreciation for the characters and the plot ... It's not an overall BAD book, I just found that I couldn't connect with any of the characters and I wasn't really rooting for anyone (not even the bad guys had my attention). I doubt I will read any of the other books in this series. less
