not as enjoyable as the antics used to be but maybe its because when i was 15-26 my mind set was different and my mind was developing and i felt the characters were growing with me. as far as the case goes, eh, its the same old same old. Obviously at this point in real life one or all three of them would have realized it was never going to work out and moved on. something needs to give so these characters can grow up and move on. While I personally love the thing with ranger that has gotten old too. even in the books it has to be about ten years by now and stephanie is hitting her 40s. either they love eachother and want to settle down or they dont and need to move on. the will they wont they with morelli and stephanie has gotten very old. and from reviews i’ve read the following books are the same. This book sadly didn’t help the characters grow up. I got sick of the seeming flatline as far as character development. I took a few years off after 18 came out. Review #2 Notorious Nineteen audiobook in series Stephanie Plum I don’t know what the issue is, but if you’re a long time fan/reader of these books, I definitely advise against paying full price for them. Evanovich originally developed for this series. Maybe there is a ghost writer who isn’t creative enough to do anything but follow the old tried and true formula that Ms. I’ve started wondering if Janet Evanovich is even writing these books anymore. Stephanie and Lula continue to get themselves in ridiculous situations, Grandma Mazur is a lunatic, and we still have the same old back and forth with Stephanie, Morelli, and Ranger.

Her apartment also tends to catch on fire (that happens, too). Stephanie manages to destroy at least one car per book. So, in this entry we have the usual exploding/firebombed car.

Until then, I only purchase these at a bargain rate. I guess I keep plodding on with the series in the hopes that at some point, some new story lines will develop and things will get interesting and entertaining again. I stopped paying anywhere near full price for these books a long time ago (which is why I’m just now finishing book nineteen). After that, each story is pretty much a rehash of what’s already been done. In fact, if you’re still early in the series, you can probably quit reading these at around book 12.

If you’ve read the previous eighteen books of this series, you don’t even need to read this one to know the story line.
