The 15th Stephanie Plum humorous mystery is pretty standard fare to those familiar with the series. Thats not all bad; its a quick, breezy read that makes you smile every few pages. As far as plot goes, this isnt one of the best, with fairly obvious culprits and motives. And as for character development, well, have you noticed that there really hasnt been any change in Stephanies situation, or that of any of the main characters, since day one? I doubt if well ever see her get good at her job or settle down with either of the men in her life, or even have to replace her hamster (whos pretty elderly by now). The faithful probably wouldnt have it any other way. Its pretty much a long-running written sitcom now, and why upset the audience? Go here for a beach read, or a subway time-passer.
