On the plus side, Rex, her guinea pig has a major role. Stephanie really should be a bit sharper by now. Such over reaching and the consistent, shall we say “dimness” of Stephanie is why I only gave this novel four stars.

And she has lines like, “this job is so boring, you could do it in a coma.” Yeah, I have had jobs like this. ![]() Lulu, the hooker Stephanie became involved in during the first book, is a major character here.

It is only the third Stephanie Plum novel I have read, but it is probably the most enjoyable. ![]() |
