Kurzbeschreibung

Customers who enjoy books by Janet Evanovich are sure to enjoy MS AMERICA AND THE OFFING ON OAHU, the debut mystery in a fast and hilariously funny series about how being a beauty queen can be murder …

Ms Ohio Happy Pennington finds out it’s not all sequins and silicone when she competes on Oahu for the Ms America crown—the first national title of her life.
When her fiercest competitor tumbles dead out of the isolation booth during the televised pageant finale, Honolulu PD gets to thinking Happy might have killed her.

What’s the only thing a beauty queen worth her sash can do? Nab the real killer—even if that means tangling with snarky rival contestants, a local who claims to be Hawaiian royalty, a brooding helicopter pilot, and a pageant emcee hot enough to die for ...

Author Diana Dempsey never competed in beauty pageants but she did the next best thing: she worked in TV news. After a dozen years as an Emmy-winning anchor and reporter, Diana hung up her mic to become an author of fast and fun romantic fiction.

Her novels have been called “almost impossible to put down” (Romance Reviews Today), “skillfully plotted and filled with realistic detail” (Library Journal), and “spicy, sexy, and sultry” (Booklist). Her first novel was nominated for a RITA award for Best First Book by Romance Writers of America; another was a Top Pick of Romantic Times; a third was a selection of the Doubleday Book Club.

5.0 von 5 Sternen A Terrific Heroine and an Absorbing but Fun Murder Mystery 22. Juni 2011
Von W. E. Fuller - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
I recently read Ms. Dempsey's Falling Star and loved it, so I decided to check out her latest book. I have to say, I enjoyed this one just as much -- perhaps even more. Once again, Ms. Dempsey has created a spunky, resourceful heroine who, despite her status as a perennial participant in beauty pageants, is still very much an underdog, which made me root for her even more. The murder mystery she becomes embroiled in manages to be both comical and nail-biting, and the identity of the killer kept me guessing all the way. Add to that a wickedly fun cast of supporting characters and an exotic Hawaii locale and you've got a perfect summer beach read.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Delightful & Intriquing Mystery For All Readers--We Guys, Too 10. Juli 2011
Von Thomas C. Dulaney - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Happy Pennington is a finalist for the Ms. America title. When her main competitor is killed on stage, Happy ends up with the title and a chance to do what her Daddy did--solve murders.

The plot is fascinating. Each scene, for example when the chopper pilot--at altitude--gulps the poisoned drink meant for Happy, is refreshingly novel. The characters are funny, vain, flawed, self-absorbed, officious, arrogant, all in their turns to combine to an entertaining ensemble.

The writing is vivid, crisp, fast paced and fun.

Readers who enjoyed Sandra Bullock and the film Miss Congeniality will love Happy and this book. And for those who didn't care for the Bullock movie, get a sample of this great read because Offing on Oahu is more fully realized than the movie plot.

For the men (like me) who steer clear of "chick lit," I advise you drive right up to this book if you enjoy a mystery, a pretty woman with brains, wit and spunk, and innovative situations beautifully described.

The writing and story are as lean as a beauty queen, likewise beautifully toned and without an ounce of fat.

And on a more personal note, I especially liked how the book gives great entertainment without using woman as sex objects, eye candy, and all the other standard cleavage-capitalization one normally finds in books, TV and movies.

Happy is returning for another mystery, and I'm glad. Meantime, I need to revisit the author's other works for a look-see via samples.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Fulfills every expectation for a cozy mystery! 9. Juli 2011
Von Diana L. Driver - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Ms America and the Offing on Oahu is a giggle a minute - when you're not on the edge of your seat wondering how the heroine is going to "get out of one"! Sassy characters, an insider's look into Beauty Contests, a setting to die for in Hawaii and a plot that carries from beginning to end - this book is a page turner that you won't want to put down and never want to end. If I could give it a higher rating than five stars, I would. I LOVED this book and look forward to the next one in the Ms America series!

The favored technique is like a poor girls boob job: cut precisely fourteen inches of tape, bend forward at the waist, and tape from one side to the other.  A finer lift youll never see without going under a scalpel. &quote;
