nancyflanagan 's review for:
Going Rogue
by Janet Evanovich
I'm not sure why I'm giving this book three stars, instead of two or one. It is probably a book somewhere between two and three stars. And I'm probably in that window where I haven't read a Stephanie Plum in a long time, and so the dialogue and repetitive action (how many times can you bring home a Pino's pizza and watch sports?) are less familiar. Or something.
There are always things to critique in Evanovich's books. The sexual tension with Ranger, for example. Cars blowing up. Viewings at the funeral home. In this book, Connie the Office Manager gets kidnapped, and Stephanie tries to handle it on her own. You have to think that a kidnapping (and there's a ransom call with photo evidence--it's not just someone taking an unauthorized day off) would cause the friends and family of the person kidnapped some genuine terror, and all the resources law enforcement would provide. But no--Stephanie and Lula keep 'forgetting' about Connie. That's not madcap antics--it's actually cruelty.
But why argue? If you've read one of the books, you know not to take them seriously. Think I'm taking a break until the designated last book of the series occurs.
