WHY MY THIRD HUSBAND WILL BE A DOG The Amazing Adventures of an Ordinary Woman

Mystery writer Lisa Scottoline's clever observations are snappy and funny, and her narration of this collection of her "Chick Wit" columns for the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER is fast paced, animated . . . and funny. Scottoline designates her two ex-husbands as Thing One and Thing Two; she's passionate about her family, which includes "The Flying Scottolines," four dogs, and two cats; she's addicted to real estate ads; she's off carbs—except for movie candy; and, when she discovers and visits a Web site for cheaters, her impishness is infectious. This "mix tape for moms and girls" also offers Scottoline's daughter, Francesca Serritella, reading her reflections on the author as mother. From "Being Caught Braless in the Emergency Room" to "Betty and Veronica's Life Lessons for Girls," Scottoline's wit and wisdom are a treat. S.J.H.
