Review of FEARLESS FOURTEEN by Janet Evanovich (see her website)A STEPHANIE PLUM NOVEL
St. Martin's Press, June 2008
When Stephanie Plum has to bring in bond jumper Loretta, she ends up promising to take care of Loretta's kid--little knowing that he'll paint her car, Morelli's dog, and just about everything else. But when Loretta vanishes, Stephanie is stuck taking care of the kid for longer than she'd anticipated. The scary thing is, Loretta's brother, bank-robber Dom Rizzi, claims that he caught Loretta and Morelli doing it in their parents' garage--exactly nine months before Zook was born. Then there's Lula, who's decided it's time for her boyfriend Tank to pop the question--and doesn't mind getting him pass-out drunk and simply telling him he did so. With someone breaking into Morelli's house, a sixty-something star with the hots for Ranger (and Morelli) and the plan to film a reality show based on Stephanie's incompetent skip-tracing, and the entire Burg treasure-hunting for the missing loot from the bank robbery, Stephanie's life is about become very complicated.
Author Janet Evanovich (see more BooksForABuck.com reviews of novels by Evanovich) delivers her zany mix of off-beat characters, Stephanie's love dilemma, and adventure in the fourteenth book in this series. FEARLESS FOURTEEN made for an enjoyable read with plenty of chuckles and smiles. It's no masterpiece, but it certainly kept me turning the pages. Three Stars Reviewed 7/25/08
