In the mystery novel, “Blonde to the Bone,” Mike Johnson captures a plot that is hilarious as well as entertaining in many aspects. Johnson focuses on the constant feud between twin sisters who seem as different as night and day.  After the mysterious disappearance of their father they find themselves in middle of a conspiracy to blow up the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Then to top off all that, each falls in love with the other’s fiancé.  As the plot thickens, so does the candor of the story.

While reading “Blonde to the Bone” I was drawn into Johnson’s writing.  He describes each scene and scenario to the fullest leaving me with no questions.  In most cases I felt I was right there in the story, often taking on the roll of the character. 

Unlike many mystery novels, the sequence in “Blonde to the Bone” is unpredictable making it a book hard to put down.  A good novel is to entertain and keep the reader in suspense.  Johnson did that remarkably well.
