Sometimes I just need a few hours of fluff, and nobody does it better than Evanovich. A re-read for me but still hits the spot. ( ![]() Currently rereading this series. Love Stephanie, Grandma Mazur, and the other characters. Love the humor and that Stephanie can learn from her mistakes, though she does find new ones to make through the series.Definitely keepers for me. I think I'd go with 3 1/2 stars. Loved the humor but there were a few places where I had to call BS, even taking lack of technology into consideration. I thought I’d give this a whirl and see what all the fuss was about. It was very entertaining on audio book, and the story was lots of fun (although having the murderer explain everything he did and everything he was about to do at the end was kind of a bother). I’ll definitely listen to more, at least as long as C. J. Critt is the reader. The characters are charming; I especially loved Grandma Mazur. I'm not sure what to think about this book. It wasn't bad, especially for the first in a series, but I feel guilty for enjoying it because Stephanie Plum really acts the part of a dumb, helpless woman most of the time. But it's mostly humor, and I don't want to discriminate against it just because it's a woman, because there are books about inept males, too. However, the problem I had with it was it sometimes seemed to be trying to be serious, so her dumbness would get frustrating. I think perhaps it was overdone. She could probably be more likeable with just a bit less helplessness. However, I loved her grandmother, and would probably enjoy it a lot more if she played a major role. I might try a later story in the series to see if things improve. no reviews | add a review
