Fortune and Glory (Stephanie Plum #27) (vuoden 2020 painos)

Yes, the Stephanie Plum stories are silly, but they are fun, especially if you have ever been a Jersey Girl…and I have enjoyed all 27 in the series. In this one, Stephanie and her crew, with a new member, help Grandma Mazur search for the “treasure” her dead husband and his fellow gangsters hid somewhere. She has broken up with Morelli over this and teams up once again with the ever sexy Ranger.

Stephanie realizes her life is going nowhere and wants to make some changes. What will they be? I hope this doesn’t mean the end of the series. I look forward to them for some comic relief. I’ve tried some of Evanovich’s other books, but they just don’t have the same pizazz as this series…maybe it is the Jersey Girl thing……. ( )

Stephanie never disappoints. Neither does Lula or Grandma, Ranger or Morelli. ( )

Stephanie Plum is a fugitive apprehension agent working for her cousin Vinnie in Trenton, NJ. She is low on money, so she needs to catch a few locals who skipped out. One of them is Shine, an ancient but deadly local mobster, one of the few surviving La-Z-Boys. Stephanie's grandma Mazur was recently briefly married to Jimmy Rosolli. She b came a widow after 45 minutes of marriage. The only thing she got from Jimmy was 2 keys to a treasure and an old recliner. So Grandma and Stephanie decide to find the treasure, but first they needed to find clues to where it was hidden. However, the surviving La-Z-Boys also wanted the treasure and would go to any lengths to get it. This was a continuation of the last book in the series. Quirky characters, dangerous situations, stupid criminals, blown up vehicles, kidnappings, and a body guard of sorts kept Stephanie on her toes. It was a fun silly fast read. ( )

A fun read as always 😄 ( )

The Story:

Ahh Stephanie. I can always count on you to be Stephanie.

She is off with Joe and she and Ranger are… Grandma is in danger and it’s difficult keeping this spunky lady safe. Mischief, hijinks and misguided good intentions run amuck. I’ve missed all of it so much. I suppose it will be a year before I see them again. That makes me sad but this book made me happy and that’s what is important. ( )
