Serena is fun and quirky and will have you laughing out loud. Her Aunt Martha is a hoot\u2014a detective wannabe, bold and fearless, and Serena has her hands full trying to keep her out of trouble. Mr. Sutton, Serena\u2019s neighbor, has made it his mission to help everyone in the neighborhood expand their vocabulary with his \u201cword of the day.\u201d Serena\u2019s mom\u2019s greatest desire is for Serena to give up her dangerous job, marry and have children, and she makes her wishes known at every opportunity, much to Serena\u2019s embarrassment. Several men show interest in Serena, but the two most likely candidates are Nate, Serena\u2019s building superintendent, and Tanner, her FBI trainer. We\u2019ll find out in future books which one will win her heart, although readers are being given the opportunity to vote. Lastly, we have Serena\u2019s cat Harold, who loves to lie around and refuses to kill the mouse that is terrorizing Serena.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-293 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/A-Fool-His-Monet-cover.jpg\" alt=\"A Fool &amp; His Monet cover\" width=\"324\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/A-Fool-His-Monet-cover.jpg 324w, https:\/\/caroljpost.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/A-Fool-His-Monet-cover-195x300.jpg 195w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 324px) 100vw, 324px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>A Fool &amp; His Monet <\/em>is the first in a series.
