Product Description In the fourteenth book in the series, the stakes are raised even higher as Stephanie Plum finds herself in her most dangerous, hilarious, hottest, chase yet. With her loveably offbeat family along for the ride (as well as a few new faces), it's clear to see why the Plum novels are called "Hot Stuff" by the New York Times and why Evanovich herself is called "the master."

As Great As Ever! January 4, 2009 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This latest book in the Plum series is great! I can't wait to get Plum Spooky. I laughed and laughed just like I always do with all the Plum books and Lorelei King is still the best reader for the series. She has the characters down to a t and just like I hear them when reading them. I love CJ Critt reading other things, but Lorelei is the master at the Plum series. If you haven't ever listened to the books please go back and listen to all the ones Lorelei has read and you will laugh even harder than reading them. This one is great and I can't wait for Finger Lickin' Fifteen! Yay..Evanovich and the Plum series! Keep up the great work!
Good Entry! Not Great, but it IS #14... December 30, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I polished this one off in two days/ three sittings... It moves quicker than many of the previous entries, and I noticed the chapters are getting shorter. No Problemo/ This is still good stuff. Great? Not so much, but overall very entertaining. The usual suspects are back, along with a few new characters that only Evanovich could dream up. Is the series runing out of steam? Nope, although I thought that might be the case before finally reading this. It may be treading water, but for something fun and lightweight, I have no qualms with that. Keep churning 'em out, and I'll keep reading. That goes for the Plum series. The Motor Mouth ones, not so much...
Done counting on this series December 15, 2008 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Thank goodness I read a library copy so I didn't have to think about the money or trees wasted on this novel. I spent an entire day reading this book, hoping I could finish it before sundown so I wouldn't have to turn on another light. This was not exactly boring, but I found myself asking if it was worth the time invested as I progressed from one chapter to the next. At times, the pacing was almost average, but for the most part, it felt like I was crawling along stuck in Beltway traffic and I couldn't exit for another several miles. I could have moved into another lane, but I hoped I was missing something between the lines/lanes. No character was fully developed, even Gary who had a lot of potential, and I found myself annoyed because of disappointing characters and events. The only thing I learned about Morelli is that he has a MacBook and his password is saved enabling Stephanie to read his emails. Now that could be interesting, but she simply received information and printed it out. The escapades were neither exciting nor well-written and the emotions I felt were akin to listening to elevator music or looking at the wallpaper on the walls.
It wasn't that bad December 8, 2008 4 out of 7 found this review helpful
After reading reviews i was kinda preparing for the worst but it really wasn't bad. I think it was pretty funny and the whole Lula and Tank engagement angle was awkward(for tank) and funny. Now Joe having intimate time with his distant cousin was weird and he didn't seem to care even if he did it with her. I have recently caught up in the SP series thanks to the library. I do agree that alot of fans might be tired of all these books. I mean we are going on 15 books and the next holiday book. But it's still funny.
A funny quick read for a cold winter's day or to tuck into a beach tote December 7, 2008 5 out of 8 found this review helpful
I, too, have never read a Janet Evanovich novel, and picked up this book from the "new book" collection at the library.
To me Ms. Evanovich has a style that combines Robert B. Parker & Donald J. Westlake. Short sentences, witty writing combined with zany characters doing stupid, but funny things. I have to admit that I laughed out loud at some passages (the potato gun scene was funny), but the book, as a whole, really isn't memorable.
This is not a book that I would own or put on my bookshelf, but the book is perfect for taking on a family vacation or to snuggle up with next to a fireplace on a cold winter day.
