Janet Evanovich/Stephanie Plum

I love to read. In fact besides cooking I would have to say that reading is my favorite past-time. I was introduced to the Stephanie Plum series, some years back, by a friend of mine. Since then I have awaited each new novel with anticipation.

15cover_large1In June I picked up number 15 in the series and I would have to say that I was a little disappointed. What pulled me in to the series was sorely  lacking in the last several Evanovich novels.

The clever dialogue between Stephanie and her guys hasn’t been as prevalent or even as clever in this one as the first several. In fact, instead of being pulled into the story and feeling as if I was standing right beside Stephanie experiencing everything along with her I feel like I am sitting outside a window detached from everything.

There are several characters who seem to have dropped off the face of New Jersey never to be heard of again and this makes me sad. Sally Sweet hasn’t made a show in quite sometime (I know that not every character brought in should be in every novel but…) and even though Grandma Mazur pops her head up a couple of times I don’t get the same belly laughs as I used to. Maybe I am being a little too harsh. I know authors evolve their characters and story lines, but I still miss the old Plum pizzaz. In fact I have read them so much that I had to go out and buy new copies.

So Janet, where is the friction between Stephanie and Ranger? Where are the antics of Grandma Mazur? Where is the story that I love so much? I don’t know if it will ever come back but I will continue to read in the hopes of finding it.

Anyone who reads this should know that I wholly recommend this series of books. You will love them as much as I do. Even if I am a little disappointed in the latest.
