I just love anything that Evanovitch writes. I don't know how she thinks up this stuff.

Another fantastic Evanovich novel!
By now we all know Janet Evanovich for her highly entertaining series about Steph anie Plum bond enforcement agent and this happens to be number seven in this mighty series of thirteen (and counting). I started reading this series at the prompting of one of my close friends and now i'm addicted and i can't wait for each new installment. They are all very similar but not in a boring way, it's more along the lines of wearing a comfy jumper but it's a book instead!
This particular book opens when Steph anie has been given the case of capturing Eddie DeChooch (i also love all the names in these books) who is an aging (disgracefully) mobster who has recently been dating Steph anie's also aging (disgracefully) grandmother. It follows the usual formular whereby Steph anie, often accompanied by either Bob the dog or Lula the ex 'ho tries to track down the felon while trying not to get herself killed. The usual cast of charaters turn up, including Steph anie's Grandmother, her long suffering mother & father (some of whose lines had me laughing out loud), and many of the other locals who live in The Burg. There are lots more scenes involving Morelli in this book after the proposal in Hot Six which will be a blessing to some readers following the Morelli/Ranger storyline in previous books, we even get a wedding date (or do we).
The action as usual is very fast paced, you find yourself reading large chunks of this book because you're unable to put it down, even to make a cup of tea! It's also highly surreal with many hilarious scenes occurring in the local funeral parlour.
I'm happy to say this is another great novel by Janet Evanovich, and i highly recommend you read the entire series, although be warned, we're up to number thirteen and Evanovich doesn't look like stopping any time soon!

A Riot
I laughed so hard with this book, my sides ached when I went to put the book down after I finished it. It was a hysterical book, from Old man Dechoch to Grandma Mazure. They were laugh out loud funny. my 2 year old had to ask me if I was ok, because she was next to me, while I read silently to myself. I had to try very hard to explain that the book was really funny to me and out of all things my daughter started laughing too. which took me by surprise. lol ...however, if you want a book that will make you laugh..well my friend..this here book is the one you need. Enjoy and Happy reading!
