      What do you get when you throw together a daredevil multimillionaire, a talking car, a flaky newspaper owner, a retired wrestler turned mayoral candidate, a crazy Vietnam vet and a town full of corrupt bureaucrats? A far-fetched mystery that reads like a carnival ride spun out of control. While some readers may enjoy the ride, others will simply want to plant their feet on the ground. Playboy Max Holt, the bomb-setting boy genius from Evanovich's Full House, returns to Beaumont, S.C., to check up on his investment in the local paper, run by workaholic Jamie Swift, and to help his brother-in-law, mayoral candidate Frankie Fontana, locate the town's missing tax dollars. But when he and Jamie are shot at, it becomes clear that someone doesn't want him poking into Beaumont's financial affairs. The shooting doesn't deter Max, and neither do his subsequent encounters with dynamite, an alligator and a trigger-happy war veteran. Jamie, however, is sufficiently distraught for both of them, and her hysterics will make fans of Evanovich's more capable heroine, Stephanie Plum, cringe. Though the story is stuffed with marginally developed, oddball characters, their off-the-wall antics aren't enough to keep the suspense rising and the reader engaged. (Feb.)Forecast:Evanovich's name alone will ensure respectable sales, but don't expect
      Full Tilt to match the success of last year's
      Full House, which scored high on the bestseller lists but low with the author's fans.

      Jamie Swift owns the local newspaper, which is slowly going bankrupt, and is engaged to stable, secure Philip. Then she meets her silent partner, Max Holt, who has more money and moxie than most men. Soon after, bullets start to fly, and the two are off to find the would-be killers. Lorelei King creates full-bodied characterizations that bring the heroes and villains to life. A complicated plot, mixed emotions, and a local scandal are all flawlessly enacted in King's mellifluous voice. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine

      Eccentric characters abound in the second installment of the fast-paced new series by authors Evanovich and Hughes. First, there's a car that talks--simpering just like Marilyn Monroe. Then there's Swamp Dog, a menacing thug, and Vera, an elderly secretary specializing in sarcasm. Local newspaper owner Jamie Swift and billionaire Max Holt form a Nick-and-Nora-Charles-type duo as Swift chases a story with political ramifications that bring threats and danger. Sexual chemistry between the two principals is sometimes searing, often comical, and always engaging. Lorelei King's exceptional character depiction makes up for occasional plateaus in suspense. Although this production contains street language, this is an excellent listen for a short commute. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine

      As editor of the local Beaumont, South Carolina, newspaper, Jamie Swift finds little time for socializing. But when her silent partner arrives (sight unseen) to check into some unrelated business, fate transforms Jamie's life. Lorelei King gives a flexible and fun performance of this fast-paced narrative. Whether it's a wrestler turned politician or his dumb ex-stripper wife trying to take center stage; Jamie's love-interest, Maximillian, making the right moves or two very unpleasant assassins raining on everyone's parade, King dishes out the action with gusto. She also doesn't let all these distractions keep the listener from enjoying a luscious romance. B.J.P. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
