Another Big Bust is the second book in the Busted series. Surprisingly, it's not a sequel to Busted. Instead, this book features motorcycle cop Shae Sharpe, who also has 38DD bust (I'm sensing a trend here); Another Big Bust is set in Durham, North Carolina, so it also has a southern setting.

Like its predecessor, this cozy doesn't have a murder (the crime this time is vintage auto theft). There are numerous self-references by the main character to her chest, but it didn't feel as over-the-top as it did in the first.book.

The book itself is a light, fun read. It felt like there were fewer named characters this time around, so you had a smaller pool to draw from when trying to figure out who the crook was. The love interest in this installment is a cop from the next county over, which made for an interesting professional dynamic throughout. There were one or two questionable police tactics they used in trying to solve the crime (I'm not convinced the leaf-blower trick would stand up in court, for example), but they're relatively minor.

Much like the earlier book, I think this would be a book worth picking up if you're looking for a mental snack. ( )
