A typical Evanovich/Plum-series book in that it is a fun, fast read, and would be a great vacation/beach book as you dont have to delve too deeply into it for a plot, or to keep the characters straight. Stephanie Plum, Lula, and Ranger take center stage in the story this time, along with a sprinkling of Morelli for good measure. A few surprises and some laughs keep the reader entertained. Stephanie doesnt seem to be as ditsy this time around and my only complaint is that Janet Evanovich continues to subject the reader to her prejudice against fat people in her descriptions. Evanovich goes out of her way to point out excessive weight of a character; however, she doesnt do this with other descriptions/characteristics, including color, nationality, etc. Seriously? In this day and age? As talented of a writer as she is, one would think she could find better ways to create and/or describe a character. All-in-all, a typical Evanovich/Plum-series book. If youre hoping to be surprised with something new or different, youll be disappointed; however, if youre looking for a quick, easy, fun read surrounding the usual Stephanie Plum, this book will give you your fix.
