Hitman, Mexican Cartel, dance recitals & carpools!

I am loving this series!!! Shelby is just the right amount of damsel and daredevil. Her hot hubby is super understanding and there are plenty of yummy men to tickle the senses.. I'm surprised at how much of a soft spot I have developed for a mob boss.. and how his hired gun/bodyguard makes me hope for a love triangle lol...

Can't wait read the next 6 books!!!

Entertaining Read

Moves along and keeps the story fun listening. I will listen to more from this author.

Very original

Colleen Helme has created a very original story line. The characters are very believable. She has done a great job bringing all the elements together to make a humorous cozy mystery. I look forward to the next book in the series. This book could be a standalone story, but I believe listening to the series in order is better. I highly recommend this story and the whole series to fans of cozy mysteries.

meh...

i really wanted to like this series so i gave it another shot with book two...nope. It could be such a funny book, but the author makes it too vanilla. It is precictable and boring. I tried, not the series for me.

Great book. Opening really grabs you.

a super funny book

A great book. I love the characters and the storyline. can't wait to start the next one.

funny book!

Okay, if you are looking for a hard core mystery/thriller, this book is not for you. But if you are looking for a very light hearted, easy read mystery with a big dose of humor, look no further!! The premise of this book is the heroine goes, to the supermarket, gets in the way of an armed robber and ends up getting shot in the head ( just a graze of course!). When she wakes up, it seems that she can read everyone's minds! As you can imagine, this has hilarious results! After her life is threatened because of what she witnessed, she decides to use her new skills to bring the bad guys down! This was a very enjoyable book and included many laugh out loud moments. I think it is hard not to like books like this!

I love this author!

Would you listen to Fast Money: A Shelby Nichols Adventure again? Why?

Yes, it's a great listen and really fast.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I am always entertained by these books.

What about Wendy Tremont King’s performance did you like?

She is starting to grow on me as a narrator and she really does a good job with Shelby.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

5 million dollars equals one large mind reading headache.

Any additional comments?

This second book in the Shelby Nichols Adventures was a lot of fun. Chris starts to loosen up a bit about her mind reading ability as it's not like she wanted it to begin with and so he played around with it a bit and that was fun. Shelby is just great and can't seem to stay out of trouble. If your looking for a quick fun read/listen then I highly recommend this series.
