I have been a fan of Janet Evanovich and the Stephanie Plum books since that series started.

Now that you have a little background on the series and this book, let me tell what I think. Hopefully before it falls into the hands of Wulf or the devotee of lawlessness and chaos know as Anarchy. The murder of Harvard professor Gilbert Reedy sends Lizzy and Diesel on a quest to find the stone. In particular the Luxuria Stone which is said to be infused with the power of lust. Rumor has it that the stones of SALIGIA have surfaced in Salem. Diesels’ cousin Wulf (short for Gerwulf Grimore) and his medieval minion Hatchet are their main rivals. If you combine them all together they will unleash mayhem – the equivalent of hell on earth.

They are old and mystical and are thought to represent the seven deadly sins. Diesel works for an organization that has assigned him to find and protect the stones of SALIGIA. That may not be the right word, it’s more like she can tell if they have special energy. Hers seem to be along the line of being able to tell if people or things are enchanted. Lizzy as it turns out has “abilities beyond the ordinary” too. I think you can kill him, but it’s quite hard to do. He can find people and things and there isn’t a lock he can’t open. He’s extremely good looking and smells like Christmas cookies.

Diesel is her on again/off again partner. And with the exception of Diesel and his monkey Carl things couldn’t be better. Finally she is putting her life in order. Actually, she makes cupcakes at Dazzles Bakery in Salem, MA. Following clues contained in a cryptic nineteenth-century book of sonnets, Lizzy and Diesel tear through Boston catacombs, government buildings, and multimillion-dollar residences, leaving a trail of robbed graves, public disturbances, and spontaneous seduction.Wicked Business is book two in the new Lizzy & Diesel “Wicked” series from Janet Evanovich. When Harvard University English professor and dyed-in-the-wool romantic Gilbert Reedy is mysteriously murdered and thrown off his fourth-floor balcony, Lizzy and Diesel take up his twenty-year quest for the Luxuria Stone, an ancient relic believed by some to be infused with the power of lust. Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times mega-bestselling author, is back and better than ever, proving that when it comes to hunting down bad guys and hidden treasure, the real fun is in the chase.
