Troublemaker by janet evanovich6/2/2023 Larger than life, they are in constant motion, breathlessly moving from one scene to the next. Threatened with violence if they don't return the item Percy promised - which they may actually already have, having sort of illegally gone through Percy's mail - Barney and Sam proceed on to where they believe Percy is holed up: the Keys.Īnyone who has read either of the Metro Girl mysteries will recognize that Barney and Sam are perfect characters for the graphic novel format. They narrowly escape being included in the "ceremony", and find their next lead in Percy's home - they didn't actually break in - a message to meet at a nightclub in Miami, where a man shows up, Rosa in hand. Getting advice from a spiritual consultant - not that they actually believe in voodoo - they travel to the Everglades, where they stumble on a ritual being performed with Rosa in attendance. Only Rosa is missing as is her employer, Walter Percy. A second book followed in 2006 ( Motor Mouth) and now the series continues in graphic novel format with the first volume in Troublemaker, co-written with her daughter Alex Evanovich, with artwork by Joelle Jones.Īfter Barney receives a voodoo doll in the mail - the box actually wasn't addressed to her - she and NASCAR driver Sam Hooker take off to search for her friend Rosa, who the doll looks like. Review: Janet Evanovich introduced racecar spotter Alexandra "Barney" Barnaby in 2004 in Metro Girl, a mystery heavy on action and adventure.
