Review
In her typical lighthearted, quick-witted style, Jen Turano has written another fun read. My only disappointment was discovering this was the third in a series, "Apart from the Crowd", so I've missed reading the first two installments! Overall, it did not detract from my enjoyment of the story.
Similar to her previous works, Caught by Surprise has characters that do not take themselves too seriously, always seek to find the humour in every situation, and the friends depicted therein are friends for life. These are very "feel-good" aspects that I greatly appreciate! But also added to this particular story is the element of intrigue with the inclusion of a kidnapping, murderous attempts, spies, and mysteries galore. The author pulls out more than one surprise that kept me guessing to the very end. A very good and highly enjoyable read!
