Mrs. Million Book

I was looking for something fluffier to read than the last thing - whatever it was. I've already forgotten. Something with humor in it. Hautman's book reminds me a bit of Donald Westlake oeuvre. There is humor but a bit of danger. Maybe a bit more than a bit.
Barbaraannette not only has too many duplicated letters in her name, but her husband, Bobby, disappeared six years ago. When she suddenly wins almost $9 million in the Minnesota lottery and is confronted by the press, the first thing that pops into her mind is that she will give $1 million dollars to whoever finds him and brings him back.
Barbaraannette realizes too late that this might cause problems. First of all, you don't get all the money at once, but as an annuity, so she would have to take out a loan to pay it. Secondly, she didn't mention that he had to be alive. But once Barbaraannette has made a decision, she sticks to it. She's not sure why she wants her faithless, feckless husband back, but she does. Her sisters think she's crazy. The banker sent to get her account (and give her the loan) not only thinks she's crazy to want Bobby back, but has always been in love with her ... and unable to tell her so.
So far it seems straight-forward, but Bobby has a girlfriend, Phlox, who would like the money but not sure she wants to give Bobby up. Bobby is torn between splitting the million with Phlox and the rest of the money with Barbaraannette. Either way, he'll have to go back to Cold Rock, MN to get his hands on the money. Unfortunately, he cheated two putative business partners out of thousands of dollars there (another reason he left town) who would like a) their money back and b) revenge. But before they can get their hands on Bobby, he's half-rescued and half-kidnapped by a pretty-boy psychopath who's currently shacked up with a liberal arts professor. Then all heck breaks loose.
Confused yet? Hautman manages to sort things out with a little more bludgeoning and shooting than suit my taste, but at least it all gets sorted. It's amusing if not laugh-aloud.
