Meet Bubbles Yablonsky, beautician-reporter-sleuth and blazing star of Strohmeyer’s entertaining, establishment-bashing debut as a mystery writer. Like the mills that gird the book’s seen-better-days steel town of Lehigh, Pa., the city is itself a seething cauldron. Battle lines are sharply drawn between the haves and have-nots. Bubbles is hell-bent on getting even with the overlords, especially her former husband, a heel who has gone over to the other side. Opportunity knocks when Bubbles incriminates a wealthy socialite in a brutal murder and then uncovers a murky past, where corpses are littered around the accused’s steel-magnate husband.
The going is never easy, as Bubbles faces more perils than Pauline: falling off a bridge in the arms of a potential suicide; dodging drive-by gunmen and car bombers; being handcuffed and fitted for cement boots; and always searching for a better way to display her cleavage. Armed with her certificate from Two Guys Community College, abetted by a quirky array of social castoffs and fueled by Doritos, Velveeta and Diet Pepsi, Bubbles overcomes every obstacle on her way to shaking the foundations of the corporate world and, in the process, leaving more than a few wrinkles in her ex’s tailored Brooks Brothers suits. Hop in the Camaro and buckle up: Bubbles is behind the wheel, and a wild ride awaits.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
I would have shifted the story to focus more on the case and not so much on Bubbles relationship with men, Stiletto in particular. I think she was trying to be like Stephanie Plum, but this is definitely the inferior of the two stories. I also wouldn't focus on Bubbles being so dumb. That bothered me a lot.Would you ever listen to anything by Sarah Strohmeyer again?
Probably not. I did not enjoy the first Bubbles book enough to be interested in the second book, and I had to stop the book a couple of times and talk myself into finishing it. iDid Barbara McCulloh do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
The reader did a great job with this, especially the accents. You could tell the different characters by their voices, and she did a good job at giving all of the characters their own voices.Could you see Bubbles Unbound being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
I could see it as a TV show. I think, like One for the Money, that stories like this are more episodic and would make a better TV show than movie. I have no idea who would act in it, though.Any additional comments?
The book has some really funny moments, and it is very situational, like in the Stephanie Plum series. If you enjoy a funny and very ditzy main character bumbling her way through a mystery, then this one is for you.Comparable to Stephanie Plum series
