Very rarely do I enjoy a sequel more than its original counterpart, but in this case, I did. I really liked No One Lives Twice, but I loved this one.Lexi is back and working for a different company now.. Her new boss happens to be the hot Irish guy she worked with and handcuffed in the first one. Also back in the game is Slash and Elvis.. both men with possible interests in Lexi..But Lexi doesn't have self confidence. Enter slutty red dresses, a stripper, and a bikini wax.... All I can say about that is LMAO!!!I think in this case, the humor totally outdid the mystery. The mystery: A computer whiz that can save the future of the world (too technical for me to explain as I don't really understand it myself) goes missing after his friend and partner is killed. In a cryptic note, he names Lexi as a source for help. Thus, Lexi is hired to find this guy and she has no idea her connection to him.But like I said, the humor stole the show. I had three, THREE laugh out moments in which I literally roared with laughter so hard that I had to wipe tears from my face.While at a dinner surrounded by nuns with a priest sitting right next to her, the priest pulls a bottle of steak sauce from under his outfit... Here's what happens:"Without thinking, I did what I always did to a bottle- I shook it vigorously, not realizing the lid wasn't on tight. To my horror, it flew off the bottle with the force of a speeding bullet and hit the father just above his forehead. I gasped in shock as his hairpiece flew off and landed directly in the soup of the woman sitting next to him.."And that's just a sample. Lexi also gets a bikini wax and well.. there's a strip club.I loved this edition of Lexi's life and I can't wait for the next one. Def one I am going to re read.
