Let me just say, I picked it up because I found it on one of those similar authors lists. If you like ___________ (Janet Evanovich, in this case), you might also like _________ (Nancy Bartholomew).
The Miracle Strip stars a stripper in Panama City names Sierra Lavotini. She is working at her club when the bartender's dog goes missing. After that, the dead bodies keep piling up.
The major recommendation that seems to go with this book is the dialogue. Everyone who reviewed it has said that the dialogue is spot on. Well, I'll give you that it sounds like the stereotypical stripper who barely graduated high school, but Sierra seems like she should be smarter than that.
The grammar isn't right, and at some points just seems like that for the fix. Not because that's how Sierra talks.
The mystery is good, though the interest in the cop is a little odd, and the flashbacks that Sierra has is written...well, it's just kind of weird.
Not exactly laugh out loud funny, but it does have it's entertaining moments.
Like the cowboy who's really...
Well, I'll just let you read the book to figure it out.
