I have always enjoyed the Stephanie Plum series. There is a couple of new characters in this one that I enjoyed learning about. Janet Evanovich has never failed me in this series. Lots of comedy, always a car damaged, hair damaged, lots of heart attack bad food, gun carrying grandma and side kick, and two sexy guys.

Laughed pretty hard at multiple times during this book, but it really dragged in parts. Still recommend reading if you enjoy Stephanie plum books!

Eh....I think that the growth expected throughout a series is missing. The story is still enjoyable even without the character development.
As long as you know you're going to get an enjoyable mystery, you're not going to be disappointed with this Stephanie Plum novel.

As a life long fan, I am feeling meh about the stand still the characters have been in. Also, super weird that Rex is still alive. What's the lifespan of a hamster?

These stories always hold a special place for me. It feels like I'm checking in with old friends every time I listen to one of them.

I struggled with how many stars to give this because I enjoyed the story, Grandma was still awesome, and of course Lulu. 

What I didn't enjoy was Stephanie is off again with Morelli (we find this out in the first couple of pages, a little bit later we find out why; not a big enough reason IMO. And this story has been ongoing through a total of 3 book (this one and the 2 previous) and looks like it is continuing into a fourth. I like when we can wrap a whole case up in one book.

It's great to see Stephanie and gang again. Potts is hilarious! Gabriela is and interesting addition. I see a spin off in her future.

Hmmm

Ok. It's entertaining, as always, but Stephanie's relationship is sadly written.
Grandma Mazur's adventures are hilarious. New characters are a good thing. I feel that we have run out of steam when it comes to Stephanie's love life. I'm probably going to get suckered into reading the next installation, if there is one, with hopes for resolution.
