agnes and the hitman by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer

Food-writer "Cranky" Agnes Crandall is looking forward to the weekend. With the coming wedding of Maria (Frankie "Two Hands" Fortunato's daughter) and preppie golf course designer Palmer, which Agnes and her chef fiance Taylor are catering, their problems are multiplying. Taylor is not acting much like a boyfriend, let alone a fiance and if the wedding doesn't come off, Agnes loses the house. Enter a couple of hit men, Shane and Carpenter, some extended mob characters, Two-, Three-, and Four-Wheeler Thibault, uncle Joey and a house that needs a lot of attention, Agnes picks up her frying pan and goes to work. The author uses the "F" word way too much, but if you can get past that, this is a pretty funny story. Sandy P
