Dirty Thirty

Janet Evanovich

3.88 AVERAGE


"Dirty Thirty" is peak Stephanie Plum chaos, and I loved every second. Stephanie's juggling a diamond thief and a fugitive case while dog-sitting Morelli's goofy dog, Bob. With Morelli out of town, Ranger is front and center, making things even more interesting. Lula's convinced she's being stalked by a demon, and a stakeout with Stephanie's mom and Grandma Mazur is pure comedy gold. The mystery keeps you hooked, and the tension between Ranger and Morelli is intense. This book is hilarious, action-packed, and everything we love about Stephanie Plum. Four stars for a fun and engaging read!

Considering how many books there are in the series, and the fact that they're hardly complicated masterpiece, very few of the books seemed at all stale. And this one (and the last few frankly) really kicked it up a notch. There were laugh-out-loud moments, tense moments, and quite a few surprises. That ending! Five stars for pure entertainment value

I won Dirty Thirty through a Goodreads Giveaway!

Oh, my!  The writing was straight on and a lot better than the last one.  Stephanie and Lula had me in stitches! I was laughing so hard.  Then the grave digging, add another layer of laughter.  I always know when I read a Stephanie Plum book, I am in for an enjoyable ride.  That ending was something else.  This came out in 2023 and I can't wait to read Thirty-one On The Run that come out in November 2024.

😊 Happy Reading 😊

30 books later and something is FINALLY happening. The stories/characters are just recycled from one book to the next, I can’t believe she continues to drag this series out without MAJOR plot twists. Save your money and go to your local bookstore and read the last page and just wait for book 31.

It's always a bit wacky in the 'burg and this outing is no different! Lots of humour and fun while Stephanie hunts her man!
