Unfortunately, gangster Vinny The Prick's new girlfriend has also gone missing, and Dani can't say no to The Prick. Can she find a way to work both cases at the same time? Of course not! And yet... Hot Mess Express merges a hilarious road trip with a deadly, edge-of-your-seat revenge thriller that will keep you guessing till the very end.PRELIMINARY REVIEWS:I've never met John Locke and don't know a soul who has, but I picture him locked away in a rubber room deep below the earth's surface laughing maniacally as he punches the keyboard for hours at a time in hundred-words-per-minute bursts. I bet he takes infrequent breaks, and only to engage in deep, philosophical conversations with the occasional passing bug. In short, he's a nut, and of course I enjoyed Hot Mess Express, or whatever it's called. I love them all, God help me!Unlike the typical Dani Ripper books, this novel has all the elements of a Donovan Creed and Dr. Box, to go with the zaniness of Dani's character.The Lenny-Vicky subplot was riveting. Once it started, I was thoroughly invested in the story. Loved the twists and turns!
