New troubles for Bubbles: Her friend, bride-to-be Janice, never showed up at the altar, and everybody's blaming Bubbles for singing Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird" at the bachelorette party the night before. Now Bubbles has just found Janice's uncle Elwood dead on his bathroom floor-his skull bashed in and his Rolls Royce missing. The baffling murder could be her Big Break as Bubbles goes deep undercover in Whoopee, Pennsylvania (located between Intercourse and Paradise) as a "plain girl from Ohio" boarding with a local Amish family. That means no spandex, no showers, and...no makeup. When she's not helping out on the farm, Bubbles searches for clues-with the usual hilarious results.


Bubbles In Trouble (Bubbles Yablonsky, #2) Reviews


  • Linda

    I really enjoyed this second outing with Bubbles. It was fun watching her go undercover in the Pennsylvania Amish country. Some good twists along the way including one at the end that had me going for a few pages. Looking forward to reading more in the series. #readforkimberly

    I really wanted to like this at first. But Strohmeyer's like Janet Evanovich on steroids. Everything is so over the top and the characters just don't have any depth at all. If Evanovich writes cream puffs (which I love) then Stohmeyer writes cotton candy (which I hate). There were parts that were fun but there were parts where I thought I might just stop reading the book, which I NEVER do. Might try the writer again for beach reading but I will definitely check reviews first. I have a feeling that some of the books in the series may be better than this one.

    This is the second installment of the hillarious Bubbles Yablonski mis-happs, titled Bubbles in Trouble. In this episode Bubbles is in Amish Country solving yet another murder crime. Along the way, she cleans a prized cow with VO5, convinces her "new" Amish family that her gold toenail polish is actually a toe fungus, and has a mishap with an exploding barrell of rootbeer all over the kitchen..... The laughs never stop comming with this one. If you loved the first book in this series, you will really enjoy the second as well. I give this one 5 really big stars!

  • Karen Brimhall

    The Bubbles series is a hoot! OK, it's not exactly Fine Literature, but if you're in the mood for a quick, fast, funny and a little bit mysterious read, with some over-the-top fashion that the bleached-teased-spandex-clad Bubbles sports, well then it'll be well worth the read. It's a fun, easy and fast read that keeps you turning pages!

  • Allison

    LOVED the Bubbles series by Sarah Strohmeyer!! Funny, engaging and so well written, with enough anticipation and surprise to keep the pages turning... the characters drew me in and kept me there. As I finished each book, I couldn't wait to open the next one in the series.

  • Sara

    If you've read Bubbles Unbound, then just close your eyes and imagine Bubbles Yablonsky....in Amish country!!! Oh yes...let the fun begin!

    This is the first that I've read of this author's books. While I found it entertaining, it took a while to get into it. I received this book for free and I voluntarily chose to review it. I've given it a 4* rating. Our heroine is a beauty salon worker but thinks she know all about fashion. But she is slow in filling her dreams. There certainly a lot of twists and turns after she finds a body. There is just so much going on, but everything ties in at the end. Lots of bad guys to point a finger at, but I would never guess this.

  • Barbara

    This book was so much fun! I'd never read anything by Sarah Strohmeyer before, but now I can't wait to read more of her work!
    I loved how much heart Bubbles has, her mom's common sense & her daughter's insight & intelligence. I'm from Montgomery county, PA. & spent many a Saturday in Amish country & Ms. Strohmeyer made the setting a real part of the story. I felt like I was back home! I thought she portrayed the Amish with a lot of understanding & compassion.
    This book was a pure joy to read, & I highly recommend it!

  • Myra Blake

    This is the second book in the Bubbles Yablonsky series. Like the first book in this delightful series it is full of wardrobe changes and pitfalls for Bubbles. I enjoyed the author placing such a thoroughly "modern woman" as Bubbles in a situation where she was totally out of her league - living with an Amish family. This book had more plot twists than the first one and I was guessing about who did what up to the end. It is a fun, lighthearted read.

  • Gail

    I think these are not meant to be read one after another. They are great fun. Bubbles is a woman completely comfortable with who she is…and with her past and hopeful for her future. She knows she dresses like a bimbo and it makers her feel good and comfortable. She is well aware of how others react, including that people underestimate her. As a beautician slash reporter, it works. The Keystone state, cops, militias, the Amish, and success.l

  • Warren Gossett

    Delightful mystery about a hairdresser turning high heels on the ground undercover newspaper reporter. The heroine's comic name is Bubbles Yablonsky, a daughter of the coal and steel country of Pennsylvania. The author Sarah Strohmeyer spins a sweet story. In the words of Flume's Hottest 100 song, she knows how to "Say It."

  • Michelle

    I liked book 2 better than book 1. The first book felt a little like the author was trying to emulate Janet Evanovich. This one seemed more like a separate story. Bubbles went undercover in Amish country to try to solve a mystery. After many near-death experiences, she finally got the bad guys and also got an "I love you" from Stiletto.

  • Marika Chunyk

    This is a fun easy read, as bubbles tries to go undercover as an Amish woman to find out what happened to her friend and who murdered her friend's uncle. Laughable since she is a jersey girl that is far from Amish. I will definitely read the next in the series because it is a light feel good book.

  • Abbey

    Okay, don't get me wrong: I like Bubbles a lot. I like her character and the cast around her. But something about this entry in the series just wasn't as engaging as the first book. Bubbles hiding in Amish country was a little bit too wacky, and combined with the Amish drug trade... this one was just a little too much for me.

    More Trouble!

    With Bubbles: what a name. At least these are cheering me up. This was a cute book, but took me longer than the 1st book. I have not figured how tho make 3 1/2 stars. This is tiny less than 4 to me. Still funny!

  • Peter Johnson

    A great diversion. Splittingly funny in places, with tension, mystery and interesting characters thrown in. Bubbles is too intelligent to be that stupid at times, but we will put up with it for the sake of the story and out of sympathy with the character. A bit more than a 3!

  • Amanda

    A cute cozy mystery that’s a bit dated but still fun. Not sure that I’ll read more in this series, so hard to take a main character named Bubbles seriously.

  • Sabrina

    Such a quirky silly mystery story.

  • Mysterygal3

    Another super book from this author, if you like corky fun series this is a book for you

  • Angela

    Pretty cute! I love *high* Bubbles. That had me laugh out loud.

  • Olga

    So funny. I just love this madness.

  • Cathy

    B; I do like this series as it's fun. Bubbles is completely opposite me so it's fun to see how Strohmeyer builds her character.

  • Nikki McKinney

    Meh. Cute story, but it didn't keep me captivated.
