Buddhist monk Wayan Bagus lost his island of solitude and wants to get it back. The island was about 200 miles northeast of Samoa. It had a mountain, beaches, a rainforest, and a volcano. And now it's gone. Poof! Vanished without a trace. Brilliant and boyishly charming Emerson Knight likes nothing better than solving an unsolvable, improbable mystery. And finding a missing island is better than Christmas morning in the Knight household.

Publisher's Summary
Whether it’s monkey business, funny business, or getting down to business, Janet Evanovich’s Lizzy and Diesel series proves that there’s no business like Wicked Business....
Lizzy Tucker’s once normal life as a pastry chef in Salem, Massachusetts, turns upside down as she battles both sinister forces and an inconvenient attraction to her unnaturally talented but off-limits partner, Diesel.
When Harvard University English professor and dyed-in-the-wool romantic Gilbert Reedy is mysteriously murdered and thrown off his fourth-floor balcony, Lizzy and Diesel take up his 20-year quest for the Luxuria Stone, an ancient relic believed by some to be infused with the power of lust.
Following clues contained in a cryptic 19th-century book of sonnets, Lizzy and Diesel tear through Boston catacombs, government buildings, and multimillion-dollar residences. On their way they’ll leave behind a trail of robbed graves, public disturbances, and general mayhem.
Diesel’s black sheep cousin, Gerwulf Grimoire, also wants the Stone. His motives are far from pure, and what he plans on doing with the treasure, no one knows... but Lizzy Tucker fears she’s in his crosshairs. Never far and always watching, Grimoire has a growing, vested interest in the cupcake-baker-turned-finder-of-lost-things - as does another dangerous and dark opponent in the hunt, a devotee of lawlessness and chaos known only as Anarchy.
Treasures will be sought, and the power of lust will be unmistakable as Lizzy and Diesel attempt to stay ahead of Anarchy, Grimoire, and his medieval minion, Hatchet, in this ancient game of twisted riddles and high-stakes hide-and-seek.

Not so wicked..
I have been a big fan of the Stephanie Plum series for many years and I consider Lorelei King one of the finest narrators I've ever heard. I read Wicked Appetite in written form and enjoyed that very much so I was really looking forward to this book. Unfortunately I found it to be a disappointment. This book just doesn't have the fun and excitement of the Plum series or the first book in this series. Carl, (the monkey), was fun in the first book but seems somewhat slow and stupid in this one. Maybe because I read the first and listened to the second? Worth listening to anyway, if only because of the reader.

Cute and querky!
What made the experience of listening to Wicked Business the most enjoyable?
The story moved along nicely and the characters were somewhat believable.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
This is Evanovich's style of story telling, you don't really get a lot of character development in this series.
What about Lorelei King’s performance did you like?
Lorelie does a great job with changing the inflection of her voice to represent the various characters.

Not wicked enough!
This series is like a less exciting and less sexy version of the Stephanie Plum series. I like the sexual tension between Lizzy and Diesel but after listening to two books in this series, I need more than just tension to make it interesting ;-)

Not her best
I usually read epic fantasy, but for years now I have enjoyed diving into a Janet Evanovich book for some light, action packed fun. Her books are laugh-out-loud funny. I love Diesel in the "Between the Plums" books with Stephanie, and the first in this series was worth the listen (even if not quite as good as the Plum books). This one however, falls short. It never caught my attention and it took me weeks to listen to the whole thing because I kept switching to other things. The humor was not fresh, more like leftovers from the first book. And it seemed the book couldn't decide if Wolf was still the bad guy or not. Overall, I don't think I will continue with this series. I'll stick with Stephanie Plum.

Absolutely AWESOME!
If you could sum up Wicked Business in three words, what would they be?
Down Right Hilarious!!!
Which character – as performed by Lorelei King – was your favorite?
I just have to pick one? I loved them all. I love Lorelei King. She is by far my favorite narrator. You can easily tell which character is which which makes it easier to follow along.
Any additional comments?
I love how funny this book was. Lorelei King does an excellent job narrating. I cannot wait for the third in this series!

Great Sequel
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I had read the 1st one and was excited to get the 2nd one. The audible version sucked me in and had me laughing out loud. The author really can weave a fun, fast-paced story.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Really, you know it's all going to work out in the end, but it keeps you on your toes thinking, "Wow, what next!"
Which scene was your favorite?
Gosh, I couldn't name just one. It's a fun read though. Hmmmm.....The dare to sleep naked, maybe Glow's spells on Hatchett, Anarchy with fire. Nope, can't pick just one.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, but I did take just a couple of days and listened to the book on my travels.
Any additional comments?
Give me more!

Fun Listen
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Its good but not as good as they usually are.
Would you recommend Wicked Business to your friends? Why or why not?
You need to listen to book 1 to get the real drift. Unlike most of Janets other books that work in any order, just more fun in sequience
What does Lorelei King bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
she is a great story teller,
Do you think Wicked Business needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
I can live without a follow up of this series
