Buckle your seat belts. Number-one New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich is moving into the fast lane with Metro Girl, a thrilling, high-octane misadventure with high stakes, hot nights, cold-blooded murder, sunken treasure, a woman with a chassis built for speed, and one very good, very sexy NASCAR driver who's along for the ride."Wild" Bill Barnaby's dropped off the face of the earth and big sister Alex heads for Miami, Bill's last known sighting, on a harrowing hunt to save her brother...and maybe the world. Alex blasts through the bars of South Beach and points her search south to Key West and Cuba, laying waste to Miami hit men, dodging Palmetto bugs big enough to eat her alive, and putting the pedal to the metal with NASCAR driver Sam Hooker. Engaged in a deadly race, Wild Bill's "borrowed" Hooker's sixty-five-foot Hatteras and sailed off into the sunset...just when Hooker has plans for the boat. Hooker figures he'll attach himself to Alex and maybe run into scumbag Bill. The race to the finish is hot and hard. Performed by C. J. Critt

After reading the reviews for Metro Girl, the book, I wasn't sure what to expect. In contrast, the audio book gets high marks.I've read most of the Stephanie Plum books, missing just a couple between the number books, and have to say those have been deteriorating miserably after the first two.Barney Barnaby is a breath of fresh air. Smart and witty, Barney's concerned about her flaky brother and goes to Miami from frigid Baltimore after getting a mysterious call from him in the middle of the night.I love CJ Critt as the reader and has previously read One for the Money and probably other Evanovich books. She does a nice job giving characters voices without over acting like some can, yet each is unique.I've never looked to these books to change the world, but they're entertaining enough to keep me listening. I'm getting tired of Stephanie Plum getting into more hijinks and not deciding between Ranger or Morelli and frankly wish there was someone else on her radar, or maybe join Barney in Miami.
This is an entertaining, funny romp of an adventure story, with likeable characters. Evanovich includes plenty of Miami settings and atmosphere, and the pastel colors and palm trees of south Florida are a perfect backdrop for the enjoyably improbable plot.CJ Critt does a good job reading it. Her voice for Sam Hooker is particularly good, perfectly fitting Hooker's endearing redneck character. She uses inflection and tone to distinguish the characters from one another, rather than relying too heavily on pitch and using high falsettos for women and painfully fake baritones for men. Unlike many audiobooks, the female lead character doesn't come across as an annoying, helpless damsel. Alex Barnaby sounds as snarky as she reads on the page.
My husband and I listened to this on a road trip. It was light and humorous. We both laughed out loud throughout the tale. Now we are hooked on Janet's Stephanie Plum series. Thanks for miles of entertainment!
What a book. The excitment, the suspence, the violence (lol) Outstanding work by Janet. Love the Alex Banaby Series. Seriously, this is a must read for Evanovich fans.
