J Over answers “Is this the last one? Stephanie is 54...”

A Goodreads user asked this question about Look Alive Twenty-Five (Stephanie Plum, #25):

Is this the last one? Stephanie is 54 years old now, isn't it time to pull the trigger and end the series? (In the first book she's 30; it's now been 24 years since One for the Money came out).

I also never noticed a starting date, but the times do seem to progress as the stories go along. References to texting, Harry Potter movies, and YouTube all spring to mind.

In Takedown Twenty, chapter Seven, Grandma says, 'I gotta see Dancing with the Stars and America's Got Talent'. Those begun running in 2005 and 2006 respectively. Which gives some reference to time period after 20 novels.

Personally, the books are fine, they are light-hearted and playful, same formula as the others, but I do not read them for anything beyond an easy, fun read, now and again.

In my opinion, as Janet Evanovich is now 80, I would hope there is some end-game in mind, to have closure for the characters from the original author; yet given the type of series it is, it would not surprise me if it continued long after Evanovich herself stops writing them.(less)
