Plum Lucky
I love
the Stephanie
Plum series
but I was a lil disapointed with this one. While I did laugh out loud a couple times, I didn't think that it was up to her usual calaber.
Wonderful!!!
Once again, Stephanie finds herself in a crazy mess!! This was such a hilarious book and a fun in-
between
!! I can't wait for number 14!!!

A fun interlude between 13 and 14...
Sometimes, all you want is mind candy and entertainment that doesn't demand much in terms of time or effort. I picked up
Plum
Lucky
by Janet Evanovich from
the library
two days ago, and breezed through it in less than a day (only 166 pages). It's a "
between
-the-
numbers
" installment of the Stephanie Plum series, which means it's smaller than normal and isn't as involved as the main
novels involving
that character. Unlike some of her other filler titles, this one is fun, has the flavor of a regular Plum story, and is worth the small investment of time.
Stephanie ends up on a quest to find and rescue Grandma Mazur, who disappeared from her parents home. She stumbled upon a duffel bag full of cash, and decided to buy a Winnebago, drive to Atlantic City, and live it up on the slots. The problem here is that the short man who claims the money is rightfully his (after he stole it from a crime family boss) wants it back so he can save the life of a horse that he's rather attached to. And if that's not complicated or strange enough, Diesel (another one of those mystery detectives in her life) also wants the short guy for a case he's working on, tied to (you guessed it) the stolen money. Stephanie, Connie, and Lulu all head off to the casinos where *everyone* converges at one place. Of course, life is never normal with Lulu or Grandma Mazur around, and Stephanie's life continues to take odd and "unusual" turns. And yes, yet another car gets toasted...
If you're a fan of the Grandma Mazur character, then you'll really like this installment. She's a prominent player here. The interplay between Diesel and Stephanie is also fun and delivers some humorous moments. Plum Lucky is like watching an episode of a favorite comedy. Some you like better than others, but you're mainly there for the entertainment and the characters. Sit back, enjoy it for what it is, and get ready for #14 due out in June.

Fun, quick read.
This
between
the
numbers
is a must for
Plum fans
. Lots of action with Grandma Mauser, Lula, and Connie. Not much Ranger or Morelli (a plus, in my opinion). Diesel is a good new character.
Another laugh out loud between the number stories.
Grandma Mazur plays a large part in this quick story. You also see a little more if Diesel and o
thers that
you expect to. Let's be honest what other character would it be normal to have a story about a lost bag of money, a horse and a car blowing up.
As usual it is a laugh out loud story that can be read alone but you will also enjoy it if you are following the series along in order.
