BOOK REVIEW

Fearless fourteen by Janet Evanovich

In ten words or less: Stephanie searches for millions; Lula plans her wedding.

Review: Evanovich hasn’t lost any steam in the latest Stephanie Plum adventure. Stephanie, bail bond enforcement agent, gets involved in a kidnapping when Loretta Rizzi, a cousin of Joe Morelli, goes missing. Loretta’s brother Dom, a bank robber just released from prison, is trying to find the nine million dollars he and his three partners stashed. Dom and the gang believe the money is hidden somewhere in Morelli’s house.

Along the way, Stephanie and Morelli take custody of Loretta’s teenage son Zook, along with a psychic and stalker, Mooner (a dope smoking slacker), and a crazed monkey named Carl. Meanwhile, Lula plans her wedding to Tank, the large and silent security guard.

Why bother? Evanovich does not disappoint. There is enough Grandma Mazur and Ranger to keep fans happy, but the action centers around Stephanie and Morelli in this book. Cars are destroyed; junk food is eaten.
