Tim Cockey
"With its blue-collar Baltimore setting, engaging and quirky characters, outrageous situations, and conversational tone, Tim Cockey's Hitchcock Sewell Mysteries offer a great alternative for Janet Evanovich fans. Just be warned that instead of a female bounty hunter, you'll be getting a charming and smart-mouthed bachelor...who happens to be an undertaker." Shauna Griffin

Sarah Strohmeyer
"Bubbles Yablonsky, Sarah Strohmeyer's hairdresser/reporter/sleuth, emerges from Lehigh, Pennsylvania, to rival Stephanie Plum. Strohmeyer knows urban neighborhoods and uses them, as Evanovich does, to reveal a cast of quirky secondary characters. There's a little romance here and plenty of action, not to mention the requisite smart-mouthed dialog." Krista Biggs

"Readers who appreciate Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books for the zany humor that lightens the mystery may like new author Laura DiSilverio. She also writes humorous mysteries featuring a quirky and likeable female protagonist." Rebecca Sigmon

David Rosenfelt

Mary Kay Andrews
"Those who enjoy Mary Kay Andrews for her humorous, strong-willed, yet often flawed female characters will enjoy the stand-alone novels of Janet Evanovich. While Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series also features this type of main character, her stand-alone novels are more in keeping with Andrews' humorous, romantic tales." Nanci Milone Hill
