Stephanie's ex-husband goes missing. With their colorful history, Stephanie is left as the number one suspect. On her journey to prove her innocence, she stumbles upon multiple bodies. What seems like a straightforward case suddenly gets very messy very fast.
I enjoyed this novel very much. It was different than the rest of the Plum novels. There were some characters that played more of a role in this novel than they have in previous ones. Including Dickie Orr. If Evanovich was trying to portray him as a slimy weasel, she did a great job. It was very impressive.
There were a few factors I didn't like about this novel. There were many parts that seemed to fall flat for me. It didn't bring the normal humor to the story that the previous novels have. Also, there were certain characters that just didn't have the flair they normally have. Joyce being the biggest one. She seemed very tame and mild in this one.
I still enjoyed this story very much. While I would have liked for it to be packed with more humor and suspense, it was very well written. Just like all the rest of the novels. Evanovich is a talented writer who shows her passion in her words and descriptions. I fully recommend this series.

Lean Mean Thirteen is still an entertaining read, but these books are all starting to sound alike. Stephanie needs some character development or something. She can only think about her "hand-to-mouth" existence so many times before readers will begin to be frustrated with the "sameness" of all these books. Still, Janet Evanovich is a good writer and the series is still entertaining.
One of the better Stephanie Plum books I've read. I liked that Dickie Orr was a big part of this one, and really liked that this is probably the first book where Stephanie took a more active role in saving herself. Some of the books have too much casual threat-of-rape, which is a huge turnoff for me in something that is supposed to be zany. Joe and Ranger were both in the book a lot, but I liked the dynamic better here than in some of the other books.
I always enjoy this series when I want a light, humorous read. I love Grandma Mazur's character more than any of the others. This series often follows the same formula with the same basic things happening to Stephanie under various circumstances. However, this formula works for the books. I'm always entertained reading these.
I'm not sure how I feel about the continuing triangle between Morelli, Ranger and Stephanie because I like Morelli a lot.I did enjoy this book and I will absolutely read the fourteenth one at some point.

This one added nothing new to the table. Nevertheless, I had a blast, probably because I had a break between this and the previous book. I'm in for another light-hearted read so I'll probably read the next one soon. We'll see if I'll enjoy that one too.

Si Stéphanie a toujours une malchance terrible, elle n'est pas si cruche !
Beaucoup de plaisir une fois de plus !

3.5. Any story that revolves around Dickie Orr doesn’t work for me. I liked the dialogue which is why it got as high of a score as it did.
