One in Vermillion

Liz Danger, Book 3

De: Jennifer Crusie, Bob Mayer

Narrado por: Cris Dukehart, Eric G. Dove

From the NY Times Bestselling duo that wrote Agnes and the Hitman, the third book in the Liz Danger series.

Liz Danger is stuck in her hometown of Burney, Ohio, because her insane employer has rented a house there for the summer, which means she has three more months of trying to get a copy edit done, babysitting a seven-year-old, and figuring out what to do with three hundred and ninety-two teddy bears. And then there’s her mother. Even the good news that she’s living with a hot cop is tempered by the knowledge that sooner or later, she’s going to have to figure out her future, and she's still not sure what she wants that to be.

Vince Cooper is stuck in a town that keeps asking him when he’s going to make an honest woman of Liz Danger and in a job that’s just sunk into anarchy because of local and state politics that are kneecapping the police department, not to mention a biker gang and Liz’s ex-boyfriend who still hasn’t figured out that the ex part is permanent. Good thing he has Liz to come home to . . . until he doesn’t.

As Liz and Vince try to navigate their increasingly complicated relationship, they’re finding out startling new things about themselves and the town they’re trying to protect, and that means dealing with greedy politicians, arson, broken hearts (not theirs), vandalism, questionable real estate, murder, and a lot of soggy bears.

Love!

The whole series was great from start to finish. I can’t wait for the next book.

great read with awesome voice actors

book three is the perfect complement to the story of Liz and Vince. The predictability is balanced by the charm and commitment to the wittiness of the characters. Fun! you won't regret reading it!

As good as the first two books of series

An outstanding, hilarious romance with small town suspense thrown into the mix. No summary here needed as excellent summaries already posted. Just buy this, borrow it, sit in the library and read it. Just read it. Right after you read "Lavender's Blue" and "Rest in Pink." I really dislike this Liz Danger trilogy is over. I know I will reread this all again and probably laugh as much and hold my breath just as much next time.

Please note: Cris Dukehart and Eric G. Dove provided fine narration.

Perfectly fabulous!

The last m 3 part series. this was phenomenal. There is adventure, romance, intrigue, crooked politicians. lots of small town politics, snark and humor. Absolutely entertaining series.

great book

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

Funny

Another great Crusie and Mayer book. Good story and narrators. Funny and interesting with good characters.

4.5 Stars!

The best of the bunch. One In a Vermillion was an entertaining and satisfying conclusion to the series and a huge welcome back (and sigh of relief) to Jennifer Crusie.

The building of the plot though out the story

I enjoyed all 3 books! The humor and that they would change the narrators made it enjoyable listening to!

Wonderful blend of comedy, romance, and mystery. Couldn't put it down. I read the full series in one week.

This book is an original and engaging blend of fun, comedy, romance, and mystery. It is a great read and a delightful listening experience, featuring an enjoyable absence of dark themes. The authors skillfully weaves elements of comedy and romance into a captivating mystery narrative. I am a big fan of Jennifer Cruise and Bob Mayer's authored books, and I found this book to be great fun. This book features police detectives and a fun-loving, smart-ass protagonist, adding an extra layer of depth to the story. Reminiscent of the works of Jennifer Cruise and Bob Mayer, the novel offers an enjoyable blend of comedy, romance, and mystery, making it a truly engaging read."

Fun story with interesting characters

These authors always deliver books I can't put down. I didn't like the main characters inability to live with each other, it was the one time in this book I had to quit reading for a while. It felt like the h loved the H but couldn't live with him and couldn't discuss things to figure out compromises.

But the rest of the story was full of fun and suspense. Can't wait to read more books in the future.
