Do you read Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series? No? What’s wrong with you!!!?? Seriously folks, these are some of the funniest books out there (well, at least in my limited experience). Okay – granted – the first two or three, maybe not so much. And maybe she loses some of her edge now and then (like in seven, maybe 12 – can’t remember), but overall, they’re great, quick, easy mysteries that will have you laughing out loud. Chris won’t read them on airplanes because people stare at him when he laughs out loud. I kid you not.
And Lean Mean Thirteen is no exception. Stephanie is tracking down her missing ex-husband along with usual sidekicks Lula, Connie, Ranger, Moretti and even Grandma. Of course, there are some crazy antics (don’t ask about the taxidermist) and a good bit about the cable company. So basically, if you’re behind like me, go read this installment (14 was published last year and will be out in paperback shortly and 15 should come out in hardcover soon). If you’ve never read these, start!
