Motor Mouth is a humorous and tantalizing story about NASCAR racing and the adventures of some teams looking for trouble, both with NASCAR and other racing teams. Included in this story are spotters who work from the rooftops telling their drivers when to move, mechanics who maintain not only the cars but all the equipment needed to transport the cars and gear, and the drivers themselves and their interaction with all of the above. .
Alex is known as “Motor Mouth” for being the spotter for driver Sam Hooker. He loves adventure and fun as he participates in any racing activity as well as any wild activity other than racing. During the last race of the season, while he was giving instructions to Sam over the radio, a terrible accident occurs on the race track. Between serious conversations and humor, the events and interaction due to the accident before the restart of the race were described. Beans, a huge Saint Bernard dog who belongs to Hooker, becomes a large part of the humorous parts of the book. No matter how serious things got, Beans would always do something to divert attention from the seriousness of any disaster.
Hooker and Alex suspected foul play by the owners and team of the winning car, as some strange movements of the racing car occurred that were far from normal. They suspected that ‘traction control’ would tend to make a car run strangely, although they couldn’t imagine how that could be transmitted to a car. This starts a private investigation by Alex, Hooker and, of course, Beans that leads to home invasion, car theft, running from the law, finding bodies in very unexpected areas and finding a way to dispose of the bodies somewhere. distant place. and get to that area without being followed by any of the runners or the law. Most of this book takes place in South Florida and includes the families and friends of Alex and Hooker. Trust me, you will meet some REAL characters who will say and do almost anything. That’s what makes this book so fun and interesting at the same time.
I’m not a NASCAR fan, so I started this book without much hope of enjoying it. I was dead wrong. I have enjoyed many of Janet Evanovich’s books and this one is no exception by far! This book is for you if you need a faster read that contains all of the above.
