Some jobs can get you killed

Genie's life continues to get more complicated, now she needs to find a job. I can't help but to hold out hope that she will soon find the billions that her husband hid away. That's not the only mystery in this story though. Is Genie's father alive? What's up with Gordon? Who's creeping around in her house? Russians, really? What do they want? So many questions. Seems like they all won't get answered or can Frank find the answers for Genie. Must read more of this series to get all of the mysteries solved. So much fun.

A book full of excitement and action!

I could not put this book down I loved it from beginning to end! So much was going on with some really interesting characters, I need to start the next book in this series as soon as possible.

Just...no

I set aside my misgivings for the first in this series and ended up liking the read. This time, I just can't. Between Imogene's cluelessness, the will we/won't we romance, the idiotic half sister and many family issues, I can't enjoy the clever mystery. Pity.

Good read.

This was a well written story. I loved the storyline it is very complex and detailed. The characters are very developed. This book certainly evokes a lot of feelings.

I'm hooked!

Celeste Bennett makes me laugh out loud. I've read books 1 & 2 of her Yarn Genie Mysteries and can't wait to read the 3rd.

This is the 2nd of her Yarn Genie mysteries. The author is actually a local writer for me, and my daughter has gotten me autographed books for gifts. Imogene is basically your spoiled billionaire woman who suddenly loses her money. Because she has several phobias, she has barely left the house in years. Now she finds she has to fend for herself, but really has no clue how to do it. Yet she has found herself in two criminal situations while trying. This book has several editing errors which makes it very hard to read the book smoothly.
