Are You Ready for More Wicked Business?

It is time for another adventure with Lizzy, Diesel, Carl, and Glo.   What fun could Janet have cooked up for this group in Wicked Business ?   I’m ready are you? Synopsis:   Lizzy continues her work at the bakery with Glo running the front of the store.   Then one night a murder takes place and Lizzy and Diesel must check it out.   The office says that there is a connection between the murder and one of the saligia stones.   As they investigate the stone reveals itself as a lust stone.   A book of sonnets is the first clue, but it falls into the custody of Wolf.   So what will become Lizzy and Diesel’s strategy to get to the stone back and find the tablet?   Glo wants to help and provides some entertainment as she attempts spells and dates. My Thoughts:   I was ready for the second adventure hoping that I would like it more than the first.   I don’t think that I am a fan of the Lizzy and Diesel series.     I am still a fan of Janet’s writing just not this series.

The first couple of chapters focus on:   One can you really change?   Two how can you look back with mercy and not anger and bitterness?   For me Stasi’s voice spoke with compassion and mercy about how the past can’t be changed but you can change the future.   It can change your focus on how to change.   How can change challenges you to be different? The next chapters are about our current landscapes of our lives and the people who
