Lean Mean Thirteen
by Janet Evanovich
Series: Stephanie Plum, #13
Mass Market Paperback, 330 pg.
St. Martin’s Paperbacks, 2008
In the 14th book, many series are showing their age, getting annoyingly repetitive/derivative…and just dull. Not Stephanie Plum (‘tho you could make the case that some of the earlier books did). Really, really good read–fun, complicated case. Not too slapstick-y (there is still slapstick–it is a Plum book)–no time at a mortuary (yay!), even Joyce adds something to the storyline (which she hasn’t done in ages).
Action, laughs, a wee bit o’ character development–all in all, a solid Plum adventure. One of Evanovich’s best.
