Evanovich no longer gives a shit if you want more Stephanie Plum, she is pumping them out regardless and because I love all things Plum, I keep on reading. In the midst of hunting down yet another dumbass criminal, Larry Virgil, Stephanie, true to form, happens across yet another dead body, not just any body, a body covered in ice-cream, stuffed in the back of a truck.
Luckily this murder is linked to love interest number 1 Ranger and his security firm and this means that Stephanie gets to climb aboard the Rangeman team and go undercover, in an ice cream factory. Love interest number 2 is hanging around aswell.
The problem is that in the world of Plum, there is never any character development, Stephanie is still torn between two men and playing them both, Sidekick Lula is still doin' Lula, sassy and big. Office manager is still Connie. Grandma Mazur is still getting herself into all kinds of hilarious drama in a variety of not age appropriate attire and Stephanie's Mom is still ironing and reaching for the cabinet. Again i'll keep reading Plum, with the dream that maybe one day, Evanovich will actually force Stephanie into making some big choices. Another 3 stars, its an easy fun read but I don't think Evanovich will ever recapture the early brilliance of Plum and surely she is running out of T words at this point right?
