Summary: Funny,
Review: Bubbles is an every day girl just trying to make it. Murder and humor just seem to follow her. In the spirit of Janet Evanovich you are not only on the edge of your seat waiting to learn who the killer is but you are also on the floor laughing.

Summary: Bubbles is back and still laugh out loud funny!
Review: Bubbles is back in her second mystery. This time Bubbles is pulled into Amish country when a good friend disappears on the eve of her wedding. Bubbles has to go undercover as an Amish girl to see if she can find her friend. Of course, being Amish is more difficult for Bubbles than she could ever imagine. No electricity for her blow dryer, no make-up, and no mini-skirts or high heel shoes! What's a girl to do?Of course the sexy Mel Gibson look alike Steve Stiletto makes an appearance as Bubbles lust/love interest. His photographic journalism job has taken him all over the world, but his feelings for Bubbles keeps pulling him right back to Pennsylvania. And when he hears what Bubbles is up to, he has to stay around to try to keep her out of trouble. Sarah Strohmeyer's Bubbles mysteries are laugh out loud fun. The relationships Bubbles has with her mother and her daughter are familiar to anyone, but are taken to a higher, funnier level. I look forward to reading many more Bubbles books in the future. What a hoot!

Summary: I **LOVED** this book....
Review: Bubbles is truly a "unique" character. She's a hairstylist/part time journalist who can't seem to stay out of trouble. Her journalistic abilities lead her to "Amish country" in search of a missing friend and to solve a mystery of two Amish boys arrested for stealing a car. Bubbles has to totally play the part of an Amish woman which means no tight clothes, makeup and she can't drive. There are so many storylines and twists going on in this book (a little unrealistic) that you may get confused, but Bubbles will make you laugh. Fiction is all about escaping to another place from our everyday lives and Bubbles is definetley a person that I would love to have as a friend. You will meet plenty of interesting characters from the loud & flashy Mother to a red headed freakazoid with buck teeth. My first read by Strohmeyer, but not my last.

Summary: You gotta love a character named Bubbles Yablonsky!
Review: Bubbles Yablonsky, hairdresser/reporter, is back in a delightful mystery reminiscent of Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, but with a definite voice of her own. This time, Bubbles slightly inebriated rendition of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird", air guitar and all, at a bachelorette party, has apparently convinced the bride-to-be to not be a bride. She doesn't show up for the wedding, Bubbles is blamed and sets off to find her. Her first stop is at the home the bride shares with her uncle, whose body Bubbles find lying on the bathroom floor. Not an auspicious beginning, and soon her chase takes her to the Amish country in Pennsylvania, with drug lords, theme park developers and other unsavory sorts crawling out of the hand carved wood work. Bubbles goes undercover as Sally Hansen, Amish widow, which is no easy task for our bleached blonde, spandex addicted heroine. In a strange twist of fate, hottie Steve Stilleto likes her new look and their romance heats up a notch as Bubbles gets the story, and her man. Nicely plotted with lots of laughs, lots of surprises and more recipes for homemade beauty products, including a hangover cure (not that I'd ever need that.) Treat yourself to a fun read.

Summary: Not her best....
Review: I found this to be much less interesting than "Bubbles Unbound." I just wanted to get through it to find out who did it, and after a while, I couldn't have cared less. Mildly entertaining, but don't buy it - get it from the library.

Review: I love her books! They are light, enjoyable reads. This one was just as awesome as the first. Sarah Strohmeyer has created a wonderful character in Bubbles. She is hysterical, and you come to love her.

Summary: light breezy amateur sleuth
Review: If one can get past Bubbles' bleached hair, heavy make up and tight clothes, it isn't hard to understand why the Lehigh, Pennsylvania hairdresser wants to be a reporter. A story is the furthest thing from Bubbles' mind when she arrives at the church to walk her best friend Janice Kramer down the aisle. When Janice fails to show up, Bubbles goes to her house where she finds her buddy's dead uncle but no bride. Learning that Janice was brought up Amish, Bubbles heads for her hometown of Wheelie in Pennsylvania's Lancaster County to find her friend and clear her name. She goes undercover dressing Amish and living with an Amish family and gets involved in a different investigation, one that could get her killed if she's not careful. BUBBLES IN TROUBLE is a light breezy amateur sleuth novel that doesn't take it self very seriously but is none the less a very entertaining mystery. The protagonist is totally refreshing as she stays true to herself while trying to better herself. Reading a Bubbles Yablonsky novel is like watching an episode of I love Lucy. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Bubbleicious
Review: Received "Trouble" as a gift, loved it, got "Unbound" from library - liked it even more. I'm so sorry there aren't 5 more titles ahead of me. I don't fall down in hysterics over these adventures but my heart sure smiles hard with these good people. The books are so charming, cleverly imaginative - chock full of unanticipated mile a minute turns. And very well crafted. I don't know how anybody could rate these less than 5 respectful stars. Sarah - thanks for the pleasure. (and get to your typewriter!)
