Wonderful

The author has a great way of telling a good story and making me laugh. Can't wait for another one.I've read all 6 now.

Best one yet - except for the final chapter

I have to say that I read other reviews before I bought the book, but I liked the other Bubbles books enough to warrant purchasing this one. I actually thought this was the best mystery part and storyline of all the bubbles books; and I was up until after midnight trying to finish it. That's the good news. Here's the bad news: the last chapter, after you find out who is guilty of the main story's murder, is completely contrived, odd and left me questioning how could we not have known something about this earlier in the series. I'm a sucker for a series, so I'll end up buying the next book, but I have to say you could finish the book before the final chapter and be satisfied. I think it was a weird direction for the author to go - but who knows, maybe Bubbles is just dreaming all of the last chapter after being shot and the next book will clear that up...I certainly hope so!!

apropos title

Bubbles Yablonsky is not having an easy time of it because she told her one time lover photojournalist Steve Stiletto that she will not marry him. Instead she plans to remarry her former husband Dan who she loathes; he is blackmailing her by threatening a custody suit over their daughter with their psychiatrist as a witness that Bubbles is an unfit mother. Bubbles cannot understand why Dan insists on marrying someone he knows hates him, but he does. While visiting at the local House of Beauty, Debbie Shatsky suddenly keels over and drops dead. The police believe that owner Sandy used the wrong glue (Debbie had an allergy to latex and needed latex free glue) to do the victim's hair instead of the one that Debbie brought with her. Bubbles believes this was not e negligent accident, but instead a murder by a cold blooded killer to make Sandy look guilty. She runs her theory by her editor who believes the official verdict while Santa stalks her. Death attempt incidents occur as someone wants Bubbles dead, but she has no idea why just like she cannot comprehend Dan's motive to marry her. A Bubbles Yablonsky mystery is always a treat to read and this installment is probably the best yet in one of the more superior series on the market today because the heroine is so clueless about the murder, the attempts on her life, and most unsettling Dan's motivation to marry her. Readers like this reviewer assume there is a connection between the three scenarios, but the pleasure of this mystery is to find out what it is and the only way to know that is to read this delightful novel. That is no hardship as BUBBLES ALL THE WAY is an amusing and exhilarating mystery. Harriet Klausner

The Best One Yet!!

Any Bubbles book is always a joy, but this is the best one yet. Crime just seems to find Bubbles, even in the House of Beauty, her last sanctuary. And a crazed Santa keeps shooting at her. How does it all fit together!! Will she get to write another prize winning story? What's up with her editor? And don't forget that sexy Steve Stiletto. So many questions, so little time. Another wonderful book from Sarah Strohmeyer. Anyone that hasn't bought their copy - run right out and get one. It's too good to wait for!! As a Bzz Agent, I love sharing all the great books I find!
