Going Rogue by Janet Evanovich
4.0

About five books ago I was pretty much done with reading the Stephanie Plum "mysteries" but needed something mindless to listen to while walking so checked this out from the library as I always enjoy Lorelei King's narration of this series. While I immediately became exasperated with Stephanie's usual ineptness, this turned out to be an intriguing and fast-paced mystery with a few chuckles along the way. Yes, Stephanie destroys not one but two vehicles, and yes, Lula is annoying but Grandma was hilarious and Morelli and Ranger were as appealing as hell. And, it usually happens, Ranger comes to Stephanie's rescue but at least she showed some grit and held her own a few times. I'm looking forward to her next book in the series, Dirty Thirty, due November 2023.
