Spring is in the air in the seen-better-days seaside town of Seatoun. Easter is approaching and the weather is surprisingly mild, leading to a mini boom in the tourist industry. Vetch's Investigations is buzzing with clients and even Jan, the receptionist from hell, is busy - all of which is making Grace Smith feel particularly depressed because she's the only one without a client in sight. The situation has become so desperate that Grace has taken a job with the town Tourist Board. Dressed as the Easter Bunny, she's supposed to be promoting the town's 'child friendly' image. Unfortunately a series of encounters with those who can't resist tormenting dumb creatures (albeit six feet tall ones with fluffy pink ears) results in Grace being the first bunny to be nicked for GBH in Seatoun. So when a woman named Della comes calling, and informs Grace that her son is receiving threatening letters and she wants someone to trace the sender, Grace accepts with alacrity. She lives - only just - to regret it most bitterly ...

Private Investigator Grace Smith Strikes again!
This is the second Gracie Smith novel I've read, I loved this almost more than the one I read previously - 'Sick as a Parrot.'
Throughout this book, it becomes obvious to the readers, that although Grace may be a little unconventionable and a magnet for chaos and trouble, she is very good at her job! O'Hara returns as mysterious as before and Grace does her best to keep her eyes on the task. She has a poison pen letter writer to detect and on top of that, a 12 year old teenage dissapearance to shed light on and a giant bunny hopping on her at any available moment. Her cases begin to reveal hidden secrets and cover ups from the past. Gracie manages to get herself into a few scrapes - it appears that someone is desperate to stop her snooping!
This book is funny and light hearted, but at the same time is capable of springing a few suprises on the reader. It transports its audience into a world of mystery and mayhem.
Another fantastic read written by Liz Evans - 'Cue The Easter Bunny' is a comic crime mixture - it really is worth a read. It had me transfixed for 24 hrs! It contains comedy and supense messed up into one package! If you enjoy this genre, then this is the book for you! It is well written and very entertaining!
The only beef I have with Liz Evans is that she doesn't write nearly fast enough for me
I was introduced to Liz Evan's books by a happy accident, when JFK is Missing was included in error with a purchase of several Janet Evanovich novels. I greatly enjoyed it, as I have several of her other books, and I can only say that her writing just gets better and better.
Cue the Easter Bunny is a great read which manages to combine mystery and suspense with uproar and comedy. Witty, exciting plot, engaging main characters, hilarious situations, and lots of one liners, mostly with a rabbit theme.
Grace, a PI,and sometime Easter Bunny, is refreshingly set in Seatoun, a seaside town that is probably well past its heyday, where she works her way through it all with wry humour,open self interest and professionalism.
This book is a good laugh, a good read and a great tonic.
