Nobody's perfect...not even Nancy Pearl. I don't normally go to individuals for book recommendations - I cull titles from advance mags, Fiction_L, the New Fiction shelf - but when I sat in on Nancy Pearl's RA class, I did take the opportunity to ask her what to give people who loooove Janet Evanovich. I have a list of standard read-alikes, but I'm always looking for more suggestions.
She said that Harley Jane Kozak's mystery series, starting with Dating Dead Men, was a pretty sure bet. So I reserved it and started reading and realized about 15 pages in that 1) I'd already read it before and 2) it wasn't particularly good the first time around. (sigh)
