Nothing like being home sick with plenty of house to clean to hammer out a fun audiobook. Before I knew I was exiled to the house, I knew I needed some Stephanie therapy. Same storyline that frustrates others is much needed reliable laughs & adventure.
Exploding Taxidermy! 3.5/5. More serious, yet more entertaining than the last few in the series mostly due to the toning down of the sex/love triangle subplot.

(I listened to the audiobook.)
The slapstick elements seemed a little rote and predictable. The mystery was not so mysterious.
Still, I liked listening to the book; it was entertaining. I think it's Stephanie Plum herself who makes an otherwise unremarkable story into an enjoyable book.

Review as originally posted on The Book Addict's Guide: To help Ranger on a mission, Stephanie agrees to plant a bug on her slime of an ex-husband Dickie Orr down at his law office. To no one's surprise, Dickie gets under her skin and Steph goes postal on him. When Dickie turns up missing, apparently dragged from his now blood-stained home, guess who's suspect #1 on everyone's list... To clear her name, Stephanie begins investigating Dickie's disappearance and as usual, gets herself into a little too much trouble when the henchmen see her as a threat to their secrecy. Prominently working with Ranger, Steph has to keep her hormones under control as well as keeping her cool through it all so she can finish the job and go back home to Morelli.
Review: Oh Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie. I love your hijinks. It's pretty much the same story as every other Plum-tale, but it never gets old and the more I read Stephanie Plum, the more I wish she were real. What a kick life would be with Stephanie Plum as a gal pal! Anyway, as usual, it was a nice mystery to unravel with some nice twists in the case of the MIA Dickie Orr. As usual, loved the Stephanie-Morelli-Ranger love triangle (or triangle-ish). And as usual, full of laughs!

I'm barely able to read anything else at this point.
It's the usual formula -which I'm addicted to right now- wherein Stephanie is tangled in some weird mystery, and in her FTAs' lives. I like it. I love. I really wanna read something else, please.

For some unknown reason I read thirteen before all the rest.
Another great easy read! Funny and dependable good story line.
I'm getting a little tired of these, but I still had several guffaw-out-loud places. Think it's time to see the movie "One for the Money" and see how Katherine Heigel is going to treat Stephanie.
