The best part of this installment is learning little details of Stephanie's past and the little power struggle between male leads.
This was a fairly typical Stephanie Plum book. That is, Stephanie had interesting mishaps in her line of work as a bounty hunter, her car was once again kaput, there was the continual back and forth between Ranger and Morelli. Same old, same old. At this stage in the game, the stories tend to get a bit repetitive and stale. So what brings me back? Basically because Stephanie is still very likeable, other characters like Lula and Grandma Mazur are still full of foul-mouthed fun, and the books are a nice, light, and funny read.
Flamethrowers and Dickie. Stephanie's ex-husband is in trouble and its becoming Stephanie's problem. Loved hating Dickie, this one was a lot of fun.
As always love the goofy characters in the Stephanie Plum novels. Too bad I'm almost caught up as that means I'll have to wait a year to get another fix:-)

So, so funny. Such a wonderfully light and easy to read series which you can dip in and out of and not feel lost at any stage.
The characters are so well thought out and I absolutely love grandma, she needs to feature more in these stories. Hehe.

Stephanie Plum always makes me giggle. It was no different this time.
Stephanie Plum is at it again... blowing up cars, chasing down bad guys and causing mayhem in her wake!! When Stephanie Plum threatens her ex-husband she doesn't expect that he will go missing and she will be the number one suspect, but that is exactly what happens. With Dickie Orr missing and questions being raised about dubious activities going at his law practice, Stephanie, Morelli and Ranger all have to work together to find Dickie and figure out what is happening.
Before I knew what a cozy mystery was I was hooked on the Stephanie Plum mysteries. I've been re-reading them to get up to date with them, but I'm still behind as Takedown Twenty will be released this November. However, I'm having fun re-reading and discovering Stephanie's adventures again.
Lean Mean Thirteen was definitely laugh-out-loud material. Several times I was howling with laughter at Stephanie and Lula's antics... especially when Stephanie breaks into the law firm after hours and discovers a security guard. Without a stun gun, pepper spray or weapon she decides to take the electric stapler to his private parts to stop from being kidnapped! The same bad guy is later punched in the face and run over by Stephanie's newly acquired Porsche!!
Most of the mystery was solved before Stephanie came face-to-face with the bad guys, but it sure didn't take anything away from watching Stephanie try to get out of another scrap unscathed.
For fans of the love triangle between Stephanie, Morelli and Ranger they are sure going to love the interactions in Lean Mean Thirteen. The love triangle hasn't gotten old for me and I'm still loving it, and hoping she will end up with Ranger!!
Lean Mean Thirteen was a hoot and I'm looking forward to picking up Fearless Fourteen.
