In Her Sights by Katie RuggleMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Molly Pax and her four sisters run a bounty hunting business. Molly's arch enemy is Jon Carmondy, a fellow bounty hunter and all round pain in her ass. He pops up everywhere she goes, being charming and twinkling his eyes at her while stealing her bountys.
But when Molly's ne'er do well mother gets arrested for grand larceny and puts up the house that Molly and her sisters paid for Molly is faced with an unpalatable proposition, lose the house to a slimy bail-bondsman or agree to capture a psychotic killer who likes to play with explosives.
This was reminiscent of all the good things about Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series without the love triangle and irritating granny humour, okay it's about a female bounty hunter.
I liked this, it was fast-paced, didn't take itself too seriously, Molly and her sisters got into bounty hunting simply because after a life of watching their mother being arrested and jailed for various minor offenses they knew the system very well.
My only criticism is that no-one was really developed as a character, it's all action and no back-story, especially John who is just there to add romance and muscle, but it was a great read by the pool.
