Plum Lucky
by Janet Evanovich
Stephanie Plum is back between-the-numbers and she’s looking to get lucky in an Atlantic City hotel room, in a Winnebago, and with a brown-eyed stud who has stolen her heart.
Stephanie Plum has a way of attracting danger, lunatics, oddballs, bad luck . . . and mystery men. And no one is more mysterious than the unmentionable Diesel. He’s back and hot on the trail of a little man in green pants who’s lost a giant bag of money. Problem is, the money isn’t exactly lost. Stephanie’s Grandma Mazur has found it, and like any good Jersey senior citizen, she’s hightailed it in a Winnebago to Atlantic City and hit the slots. With Lula and Connie in tow, Stephanie attempts to bring Grandma home, but the luck of the Irish is rubbing off on everyone: Lula’s found a job modeling plus-size lingerie. Connie’s found a guy. Diesel’s found Stephanie. And Stephanie has found herself in over her head with a caper involving thrice-stolen money, a racehorse, a car chase, and a bad case of hives.
Plum Lucky is an all-you-can-eat buffet of thrills, chills, shrimp cocktail, plus-size underwear, and scorching hot men. It’s a between-the-numbers treat no Evanovich fan will want to miss!
For those of us that love bounty hunter Stephanie Plum, her sidekicks Lula and Connie, and Grandma Mazur so much that we don’t want to wait for the next number book in the series, Plum Lucky is the answer.
Plum Lucky is a hilarious action-packed tale filled with quirky characters. While it is short (only about 176 double spaced pages), it’s not short on humor. I loved so hard in a couple different places, family member came to make sure I was okay. Stephanie’s character continues to amuse me and I actually like the lack of Ranger and Morelli (Stephanie’s love interest in the number series). Grandma Mazur’s character is the center of Plum Lucky and she will make everyone appreciate their cookie baking Grandma’s.
A cast of zany secondary characters adds dimension to an already wonderful cast of main characters. How Ms. Evanovich keeps coming up with these outstanding cast of characters is a mystery (maybe Diesel’s magic?).
If you are looking for a light read with lots of humor, Plum Lucky is an excellent choice.
