Summary: Funny Money
Review: It is about time! We have been waiting for YEARS for this book. I have read all of the Haskel Blevins novels and loved them all. I have loaned out these books some many times that I had to buy a new set. When you start reading Funny Money, just like all of the rest of these books, you feel like you have found some old friends again. The characters are wonderful and the story line is really good. It is nice to have a mystery that makes you laugh out loud. However there was 1 loose end left unaccounted for - who was responsible for the incident with the garage door? Ms. McCafferty, please don't make us wait this long again.

Summary: It doesn't get better than this!!!
Review: Just finished reading Funny Money by Taylor McCafferty. It was great. I loved every minute of it. Haskell gets another case, and it involves the strange deposits and withdrawals of cash from a holy-roller church's bank accounts. Of course, plenty of fun ensues as Haskell has to go undercover to find out what's going on.. The only sad part of the book was realizing that I'd have to wait a year for the next installment. I'm already impatient.

Summary: Oh God, it's funny!
Review: Taylor McCafferty brings us another amusing chapter in the Haskell Blevins and Pigeon Fork mystery series. The author hasn't lost her touch; Funny Money is the fifth in the series and just as funny as the last four. Put one Pentecostal preacher and creator of the local church bumper sticker "I Brake for Sinners" with one Private Detective who thinks it a tad presumptuous for any one person to think him or herself capable of judging the rest of humanity, and you will get one interesting, and most definitely hilarious, read. Haskell Blevins, a private detective and part time drug store assistant for his brother, is dying for a case to come along and save him from the menial task of stocking deodorant. When the town Pentecostal preacher shows up asking for his help, Haskell, still smarting from his last humiliating experience with the preacher, thinks twice and charges double before he agrees to help. Once on the case, Haskell has to solve who is blessing the church bank account and playing Indian giver. I really enjoyed this mystery. The series characters are wonderful. I appreciated the author's humor and ability to make light of the things we take too serious. The mystery is well planned, and, to me, the plot was simple, but don't let that fool you; just when you think you know - the author throws some great curves. A great series to follow.
