Metro Girl, by Janet Evanovich
This is the first in a new series featuring Alex(andra) Barnaby - and if you like the Stephanie Plum books it's fairly safe to say that you'll like this, as just change the names and it could be one. That's not meant to be a criticism either. If anything, this is even frothier, it's great fun and very easy reading.
Alex has flown to Miami to search for her brother Bill, who's disappeared. Together with Sam Hooker (a Nascar race driver who's looking for Bill because he's stolen Sam's boat), her camp friend Jude and dog Brian, and various large and feisty inhabitants of Little Havana it turns into a hunt for sunken gold and a missing warhead - complete with Cuban baddies and all the daft humour you'd expect (my favourite part possibly being the ingenious use of a spice cookie to elicit information from a captured goon...). Can't wait for the next one.

A spice cookie? That's a new one on me. I mean, I can be ingenious with many seemingly innocent implements, but torture by cookie? That just takes the biscuit!
Many apologies for the terrible pun - I couldn't help myself!
