Rosie Maldonne thought she hit it big when she stumbled upon an envelope of cash in Queen of the Trailer Park. But with a nasty flu keeping her laid out, school fees due, and Christmas on the way, she finds herself back in the red. Time to find a real job. After weeks of searching, Rosie is losing hope when the man of her dreams happens to post a new position: cleaning for an elderly person. Perfect! She lands the job, but the new role brings more than the promise of romance. When orphaned twins appear on her doorstep—desperate and on the run—Rosie agrees to hide them. Harboring illegal immigrants and a diamond necklace stolen from the Mafia a year ago is stressful work. Paranoid and seeing suspicious people everywhere, Rosie contemplates fleeing to Amsterdam or seeking help from her new prince charming.

In this hilarious and suspenseful second investigation, Rosie has no choice but to roll up her sleeves and keep her ever-expanding family from harm.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just not my cup of tea.
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2016

Re sex and violence: It is so minor and generally subtle I didn't select "Some sexual content." A love interest spends the night, but there is no discussion. He spends the night and leaves in the morning. The writing is good, the plot is very good with several surprises. I read the first of this series and wasn't sure if I wanted to continue. I just don't really like the lead character. Well, I read the second book (this one), and although there is really nothing wrong with the book/story/character/writing - I just don't like her. For me, she's just too erratic. I like characters that are more "solid", whereas she is more whimsical and impulsive. So, good story, good writing, just a personal preference for a different type of character.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Read with Lovable Characters!
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2016

I love this book. It is the second in the Rosie Maldonne series. The central character Rosie, or CriCri as she likes to be called, is a loveable, everyday woman. She does stupid things just like the rest of us do. She does them with good intentions just like the rest of us do. I find myself wishing I could talk her out of doing some of the things she does, which I think is a sign of good writing. I am so involved in the plot I actually think I can help! The story line is good, the characters are fun, I love the kids, and I love the sense of humor throughout the book. If you are looking for a book that is just fun to read - this is it! I cannot wait for the next one!

4.0 out of 5 stars who is half-heartedly trying to better her and her children's lot
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2016

I can't really rate the author's writing because it is a translation. The translator clearly tries to capture the argot of a poorly educated "trailer trash" young woman, which has is successful moments and its clumsy moments. As with the previous Rosie "Cri Cri" Maldonne novel, the plot moves well, and it is very entertaining. The protagonist (Cri Cri) is a somewhat stereotyped slut with the golden heart, who is half-heartedly trying to better her and her children's lot. While it is not a deep novel that captures an earnest search for identity (as in Notes From Underground) nor is it a critical commentary on French society (think Zola), it has just enough social commentary and psychological perspective to entertain.

This story line is such a great read. I have read both the first and now the second books. Could not put them down. Hope there is a third book soon. I can't wait to see what the next adventure Rosie gets into. I love how she always finds a way to take care of her kids.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed by second novel - wish it weren't so
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2016

Enjoyed first book and so looked forward to sequel. Bought the second book and so far I am disappointed by the author's overuse of imitation child's speech imperfections and by the slow movement of the story. It's as if the author is having trouble coming up with the content. Have put reading on hold for the time being.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and breezy escapade.
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2016

A down- to- earth relatable tale of an adventurous young single mother caught up in a murder and an international forgery ring. With first hand knowledge of the crime scene, and after being named the likely primary suspect, she has no choice but to go on the run with multiple kids, a cat and several other suspects, in order to try to solve the case and prove her own innocence. It doesn't always work smoothly, as the real killers, and other criminal elements pursue and threaten her repeatedly. Can she prevail? And what about that large pink diamond?

3.0 out of 5 stars Quite a diversified cast of characters.
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2017

I fell in love with Rosie in Queen of the trailer park, So I had to read this follow up. I was a little disappointed that it wasn't as witty as the first book of the series. But it still kept me in suspense and is an easy read. My most favorite character is Pastis her cat. (It reminds me of my cat).
Although Rosie is poor in money, she doesn't realize how rich she is because her heart is made oh "Gold"! You have to love her . I am still looking forward to reading Queen of the masquerade.
