Work detailsExplosive Eighteen by Janet Evanovich
None. Evanovich still employs all the tricks that make her Stephanie Plum series popular, but the scenes have fallen trite. Grandma and the funeral visitation scenes are tame and dull. The scenes of jealousy by Morelli against Ranger hit a new low. The mystery of the tan less ring on Stephanie's finger did not last long enough. I adore Ranger, and would have welcomed a more exotic Hawaiian scene. The criminals were the same as have been presented in previous novels. The old formula needs to be updated with more excitement or new criminals. (  ) delphimo | May 5, 2013 |  I'd forgotten just how much fun it was to read about Stephanie Plum as a break from more serious stuff. Delightful! (  ) GTTexas | Apr 26, 2013 | Different book number, same Plum. Still funny, but I'm like most others who've read the entire formulaic series in thinking it's time to stop now. However, in saying that, I'm a little afraid for "the choice" to be made. I hope Evanovich has a good plan on how to end this series so it's an okay resolution for everyone.

At this stage of her prolific career, now up to 18 Stephanie Plum novels, Evanovich’s work is more about tweaking than writing. She’s got the basic plot down pat. Now it’s a matter in each book of thickening or thinning the comic layers on Plum, the New Jersey bounty hunter. In the new book — it’s all about the mess resulting when Plum encounters a guy with a deep secret who gets murdered — Stephanie seems hornier than usual, even more conflicted between Morelli and Ranger, a touch less careful with guns, and freer with her enjoyably smartass mouth. Is contained in
No descriptions found. Stephanie Plum finds herself in trouble when her seatmate on her Hawaii to Newark flight winds up dead and a motley collection of thugs, as well as the FBI, search for a photo the man was reportedly carrying -- a photo that only Stephanie has seen.
