Pete Streeter, a Hollywood screenwriter and Oscar winner, heads down to Louisa’s apartment to stop the banging on his floor. When she insists on getting her paper back, he accuses her of having PMS. Not a wise choice. But when he learns she works for Senator Nolan Bishop, his interest in her grows. She might have information he can use for research he’s conducting on crooked politicians - her boss among them.

When Pete unintentionally gets Louisa fired from her job by following her to the Senator’s party, he asks for her help in his investigation of her ex-boss Senator Nolan. The Senator has ties to Stu Maislin, who heads up an animal husbandry exchange program regarding pigs with incredibly low fat ratios. Ever since Pete started his investigation of the exchange program, he’s received threatening phone calls and been attacked in his own apartment. Naturally, he believes the threats are meant to stop his investigation, but why?

Louisa has her doubts about helping Pete, but when she learns her ex-boss hired a new press secretary who has ties to Stu Maislin, she senses a conspiracy. Besides, she is curious about how the pig could go missing from the halls of Congress.

With the help of Pete’s friend and communications genius, Kurt Newfarmer, Pete and Louisa begin their investigation... one which places Louisa in a somewhat precarious position. During their inquiry, Louisa learns to respect Pete, even with his personal and somewhat naughty quirks, while Pete calls his growing attraction to his lovely neighbor a case of "romantic dementia."

Naughty Neighbor is a highly enjoyable story, packed with the right touch of mystery and the outstanding humor Janet Evanovich is known for. She kept me laughing until the very last page. While this is a reprint being re-released by HarperCollins, the story is too delightful to miss. The tight plot and hilarious situations make for a thoroughly satisfying, enjoyable read.
