Fingerlickin' Fifteen by Janet Evanovich

Synopsis: When Stephanie's friend Lula witnesses a thug known Marco the Maniac behead television chef Stanley Chipotle, she becomes Marco's newest target. Lula persuades Stephanie to join her in a barbecuing competition that Chipotle was sponsoring, hoping to lure Marco into an appearance there and gain the million dollar reward that has been offered for his apprehension.
Ranger too asks for Stephanie's help with a problem. The reputation of his security company, Rangeman, has been compromised by series of robberies at his clients’ homes. Suspecting his own employees of the crime, Ranger wants Stephanie to gather information on his staff while working in the Rangeman office. Stephanie, who is at loose ends after an argument about peanut butter has derailed her romance with Joe Morelli, willingly takes on both new tasks.

My thoughts: I loved it. It was funny and Lula shined.
