If you read the first 12, then you know what to expect. On again, off again, on again love interests, silly antics from Grandma Mazur, and the indestructible Buick as well as the other regular characters.

There were some dinner table scenes that actually had me laughing out loud.

I needed some light reading, and this fit the bill perfectly.

Gotta love those times when you read an entire book in a day :) Stephanie Plum does not disappoint on the ridiculous situations she gets herself into.

Stephanie is baaaaack…and she bring a whole new set of problems and hilarious situations with her. I love the fact that we get a little more Ranger (yummo!) in this installment, but it seems like Evanovich can really only breathe life in to one man at a time, as Joe seemed flat . It did have its moments where I was laughing out loud, but I think Twelve Sharp was funnier. I am anxiously awaiting yet to be titled #14.

Classic Stephanie Plum. Some of the highlights from this one was Lula falling into a grave, Stephanie and Lula stealing the electric taxidermy beaver and blowing it up in Joyce’s house, Grandma bringing her dates to the house (and her getting Blacky the taxidermied cat), and the constant “damn cable company” mentions.

Dickie Orr, Petiak, Smullen, Gorvitch, Carl Coghlan the taxidermist, and Simon Diggery. Good story.

Don't know why this one fell a little flat- perhaps it was the presence of Stephanie's ex-husband (who was really annoying) taking up some of the smapce than Garndma and Lula would normally occupy, but the mystery was good, the villains were terrific, and there was lots of Ranger and Morelli.
