Yet another good Stephanie Plum adventure. Listened to the audiobook - Lorelei King does a great job bringing a voice to each character!

This was a excellent installment in the Stephanie Plum series. It seemed to harken back to earlier books. The plot was interesting and multifaceted. The usually goofiness ensued but didn't feel phoned-in last the past couple of books.

I forgot how much I loved the humor in these books. The last book I read was years ago, and I remember being burnt out, but it was good to temporarily jump back into this world again.

At the same time, I remember how frustrating Stephanie could be at times. Especially concerning Ranger and Morelli. I did have to skim some parts.

Overall, it was a good time. 3

Love Stephanie Plum!

Always entertaining. I laughed out loud many times during the escapades with the gang. Lula never disappoints! Love this series.

The Plum series is always fun. Great for a light hearted, entertaining, turn off your brain time. 

I can't explain why I enjoy Stephanie Plum so much. Even Evanovich's other books don't hold the same appeal for me.

This is solid Plum adventure, with explosions, crazy criminals, and escalating Ranger/Morelli decisions (Team Ranger here!).

If you enjoy Plum, pick this one up. If she isn't for you, this one won't be either.

I've always enjoyed the Stephanie Plum series as light, escapist reading. However it has gotten to the point that the books are so interchangeable that I couldn't tell you how this one differs from any of the previous ones. Isn't it about time that Stephanie grows up a little and actually learns from the past and improves in her work? I wouldn't want someone this incompetent near me.

And I know it's in there just for the humor, but as a dog owner, it is almost abuse that they have spent no time training that dog. I'm sure it will get a big laugh when he dies from something he has eaten.
