I think just about everyone who might possibly read this has read Evanovich’s Plum series, and everyone knows they are the literary equivalent of slapstick comedy, and they can often be hit or miss. I’ve stuck with the series this long because at least once a year I need slapstick in my life, and because I also appreciate Evanovich’s interesting decision to embrace the status quo when it comes to Plum’s romantic life. This is a rare case of what I wouldn’t be able to abide in real life, I can enjoy in the fictional one, especially as it’s all above board.

Anyway, this one was a hit for me. The plot was good, the tension was sharp, and the humor was laugh-out-loud in several spots. At one point, MT looked over at me and asked it I was going to be ok, because I was gasping with laughter. For many Lulu is what makes them laugh (and she had at least one moment in this one), but for me it’s the oldies the bring tears of laughter to my eyes. Evanovich has a way with the oldies, and I can only imagine what her family dinners must be like.

I hope these last two books are a sign of things to come, because it feels like Plum and company (and their author) have found their stride, and I’m already looking forward to #30. ( )

Nothing new here…kept wondering why I wasted my time. I won’t again! Stephanie, Morelli, Ranger, Lula, and Grandma Mazurw…same old….same old…. ( )

Yes, I’m still enjoying this series at the 29th installment! Read my full review here. ( )

As always, lots of fun! ( )

Stephanie, Hot Ranger, Grandma, Joe M and Bob, Connie, Vinnie, and, of course, Lula, are all back with a new batch of bail jumpers. Love these books and this one does not disappoint. Bombs, car chases, kidnappings, and, as always, lots of fun. ( )
