Stephanie Plum is funny and not-so-complicated, but in my opinion life is complicated enough, when I am listening to something, I want to it to help me get over holiday stress and winter rain / slush / wintry mix. I need fun, light and down-right silly with Stephanie Plum, read by Lorelei King — that is what I get.
All the usual characters are present with bells on: Grandma Mazur texting Annie Hart, Connie with a herd of rats (what is the name for a group of rats?), Lula with her “new beau” thanks to a love potion by Annie Hart and every time Stephanie turned around she was getting bruised, battered, and attacked by a killer hair dresser.
We had FBI, faux FBI, a Somalian assassin, and computer hackers as well as a gaggle of usual skips. Ms Evanovich has kept the pace fast and upped the technology to keep things current. A pleasant and funny listen to on a series of winter errand running.
