MORE MUFFIA

by Ann Royal Nicholas

The sexy, zany adventures of The Muffia book club continue: Book club member and celebrity talent agent, Quinn Cunningham, is returning from Japan when she spots her fellow Muff’s former Israeli lover who is supposed to be dead. Back in LA, the Muffs agree sexy “Udi” is alive but proving it might get them killed. Quinn’s resolutions to become a better person—dump the married paramour, find a guy online and resume pole dancing (for exercise, please!)–hits a snag when her boss confronts her with compromising photos. Now Quinn must find the saboteur assisted by former Seal Team member and, by the book private investigator, Frank Sexton. While other Muffs catch up on the latest book pick, shut down porn-shooting neighbors and plan a swanky benefit for Alzheimer’s disease, Quinn finds herself falling for Frank. And as the eve of the benefit arrives, she’s keeping those resolutions and finding that her deepest wishes might come true.

Reviews

[Frank Fowlie · Rating 5 out of 5]

More Muffia is great romp. It has a great cadence, and lots of tongue in cheek humour. The back story is all about finding a stoic nice guy in the most unlikely of circumstances. The storytelling around airplane rides and internet dating ring true, and creates a great reason to smile.

A fun and happy read.

What a delight. "More Muffia" is the second book in a series about "The Muffia" - which is a women's book club in L.A -- and is also the title of the first book, which I haven't yet read. Honestly, it's a romp through contemporary Los Angeles, which I enjoyed tremendously since I live there, and always like it when locales match actual places I've been. This episode in Muffia follows member Quinn Cunningham, who is unlucky in love and in her job as a person who books movie stars on foreign commercials (think the raison d'etre for "Lost in Translation" - why the Bill Murray character was in Tokyo to begin with). Something happens at the outset which propels Quinn on an adventure -- mixing parts sexy as well as mysterious in a quest to both save this great job and perhaps find some love in the process. All the while, there is the great backup of true friendships among the "Muffs" - the members of the book club, a group of women who have each others' backs, and arguably, are stronger connections than they may have with their own spouses. There's a lot of fun here, and it's breezy - I honestly read most of the short chapters on a subway commute in - you got it, Los Angeles. Who knew there was such a thing? Though this may be correctly classified as "Chick Lit" - as a middle aged gay man I could totally identify with Quinn and her struggles. The author taps into those universalities we all share - the desire for truth, justice and love in our lives - as well as the curiosity to get to the bottom of a damn good riddle. Highly recommended - and looking forward to the further adventures of "The Muffia!"
