Lean Mean Thirteen
by Janet Evanovich
I was really super disappointed with this book. It had the potential to be another great Stephanie Plum, but it just falls flat. There were a few good twists, and it was really laugh out funny, but the plot just doesn’t make it. Stephanie’s ex-husband is missing and she’s the prime suspect so she works with Ranger to figure out what’s going on.
Favorite new character: So much love for one of the FTA’s in this one. Carl, a FTA taxidermist provides endless entertainment with his exploding animals, including the beaver Lula and Stephanie send to Joyce.
Funniest recurring character: Ranger and Morelli tag team with Stephanie in this one, and they also tag team with the humor too. Some really funny one-liners coming from the hunky duo.
Funniest moment: Too many to pick from! I was literally cracking up every few pages because the jokes were just too good.
Favorite Plum vehicle: I have no love for the Crown Vic. I’m going to have to go with Ranger’s Porsche Cayenne that Stephanie gets to borrow.
Okay, so a really funny book, but the plot isn’t at all engaging. The writings a bit confusing and a lot of the time its difficult to figure out what’s going on and even what time of day it is (I cannot tell you how many times I was thinking it was night but it turned out to be mid-afternoon.) And Stephanie is spending way too much time with Ranger, it’s starting to get old. I don’t think she thinks she’s cheating on Morelli, but she is. The good thing is, Morelli is finally starting to take notice and getting angry. Just marry her Joe, please.
3/5 stars
