The name
Lisa Scottoline is usually associated with thrillers, but in her book
Does This Beach Make Me Look Fat? she, together with her daughter Francesca Serritella, takes a look at the humorous side of life. I liked the glimpse into their family, although I felt the inserts about her mother's death were not considered humor, and might have been better placed in another genre. It was nice to read about the mother-daughter relationship and some of the predicaments they find themselves in.
