I expect certain things when I read a Stephanie Plum novel... I expect Stephanie to be awful at her job, I expect her to wreck or blow up at least one car, I expect her to love Morelli and be freaked out about commitment, I expect her to be in lust with Ranger and freaked out about that, I expect Granny to do and say some things that make me cringe, and I expect Lula to be Lula. Mostly, I expect to laugh and forget my life for a few hours.

I remember when I was first introduced to Stephanie Plum, and I read books 1-4 in a matter of a few days. I couldn't read them on public transport for fear of frightening other passengers with inappropriate laughter. I finished FEARLESS FOURTEEN simply to get it done. The mystery was flat; the characters were flat; the writing was flat. Even Grandma Mazur, one of the most hilarious characters ever written as a sidekick for a "cozy" mystery, was just thrown in for a few token scenes. Hardly her g

This series provides constant entertainment. The characters and their experiences and interactions are addictive. No, it's not great literature, but when I want well-written diversion that makes me laugh out loud, I know where to go.

It was the usual characters in the the usual circumstances, but I still liked it.
These books are *such* a guilty pleasure. I don't know that there is any literary value here - just an entertaining read that makes me laugh out loud and blush a bit. I'm sure I'll keeping reading them as long as they are being published.

This was a typical Stephanie Plum bool, I didnt like it as much as some of the others, but all in all, it was a light, fun read.
Not her best book ever...could have been funnier.
As usual, an easy, fun-to-read, funny book.
