Something big is brewing in Trenton, N.J., and it could blow at any minute.
Stephanie Plum might not be the world's greatest bounty hunter, but she knows when she's being played. Ken Globovic (aka Gobbles), hailed as the Supreme Exalted Zookeeper of the animal house known as Zeta fraternity, has been arrested for beating up the dean of students at Kiltman College. Gobbles has missed his court date and gone into hiding. People have seen him on campus, but no one will talk. Things just aren't adding up, and Stephanie can't shake the feeling that something funny is going on at the college - and it's not just Zeta fraternity pranks.
As much as people love Gobbles, they hate Doug Linken. When Linken is gunned down in his backyard it's good riddance, and the list of possible murder suspects is long. The only people who care about finding Linken's killer are Trenton cop Joe Morelli, who has been assigned the case, security expert Ranger, who was hired to protect Linken, and Stephanie, who has her eye on a cash prize and hopefully has some tricks up her sleeve.
My Thoughts :
Twenty-two books into the series and some readers may think that things in Plum Land are getting old and boring. Sure you know that Stephanie is going to save the day and solve the mystery but the question of how she will do it is always open and it is always entertaining.
This new installment keeps the entertainment level high with all your favourites and more. Lula is being Lula with her outrageous outfits, comments and actions. Grandma Mazur is promising people she doesn't have a gun and using Stephanie's details to do some catfishing. Morelli is acting strange and Ranger is being as strange as always.
There is a certain amount of done deals in every Plum books. Cars are ruined, Cluck in a Bucket gets a visit and Vinnie is locked in his office. Some things don't change but the how, who and why is always fresh and funny. You will roll your eyes, laugh out loud and do some giggling. You can't help it. Evanovich and Plum are a great team
I will always pick up another chapter in this series because not only is like visiting an old friend, it is also one of the funniest series I have read. I love the humour and the characters are each hilarious in their own way. There was a little action from Stephanie's mother this time around and it may even look like Stephanie has picked a guy and will settle down. Although I won't hold my breathe on that one!
Keep writing these and I will keep reading. Things maybe seem a little boring after twenty-two installments but this is way too funny to miss.
