i agree with "the help" as an audio book. if your library has it, grab it. the southern accents are wonderful

Love the Diana Mott Davidson--Goldilocks Catering, Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series will make you laugh until you have tears, (Gramma Mazur is a hoot!) J.A.Jance series are great, Lisa See Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, I'm now reading Shanghai Girls, Kirk Mitchell for SW American Indian investigator Emmett Parker mysteries, CJ Box's Joe Pickett series of Game Warden in Wyoming, oh and lots lots more....could go on and on and on! Of course James Patterson and Jonathan Kellerman. so many to read, so little time!

The Stephanie Plum series is fun. Grandma Mazur cracks me up, too. I wish Estelle Geddy had lived long enough to play her in the movie.
