I posted a list under books to give a 2nd look - they are not all humorous tho -
But - if you liked Evanovich i would definitely give Jane Rubinos mysteries a try - best of the sassy Nj books and the two main characters are my favorites - not really in the "wacky" vein some of the moments are quite serious - main character is the only girl in a big Italian clan with six older brothers - on the other hand if you are recuperating maybe you should wait - you will split your sides laughing at some of the dialogue.
Also - another series that was pretty funny - the Peaches Dann books by Elizabeth Daniels Squire - there are some new paperback versions coming out this year
Also - I dont know if anyone mentioned Denise Swansons "Scumble River" books but they are also very humorous - if you like books in the Diane Mott Davidson and Joan Hess vein you should like these.

Thanks, barlan, for posting your update here.

Your words about Jane Rubinos are calling me to check her out!
