Fearless Fourteen by Janet Evanovich

Fearless Fourteen continues the comic saga of Stephanie Plum and her cohorts in bond enforcement. Along the way there are the requisite crimes to solve to the tune of $9 million missing from a heist. Then add to the mix being stalked by the perpetrators who are dying one by one. Complicate it with the kidnapping of a cousin of Morelli's, and it gets more and more crazy.

If you are a fan of this saga, you will appreciate this latest caper. So many of the characters seem like old friends -- Lula, the overweight ex-'ho, who has no concept that she dresses for a woman half her size; Grandma Mazur, who is always a hoot and never acts her age; Joe Morelli, the longsuffering cop who loves Stephanie in his own way; Ranger, hot as hades; and assorted other characters who add to the zaniness -- Zook who is totally absorbed in an online game until he is asked to watch Morelli's house --saved by potatoes; Brenda, the 61 year old singer, who is being stalked by a man who claims to be prescient, then she wants to be an interviewer...

Ranger was sort of periphery in this book. He could have had more of a part. Lula is planning her wedding to Tank, who can't quite remember how he got roped into it. Stephanie holds it all together, while at the same time she creates situations that for any other person would mean disaster.

I laughed a lot, either because it was funny or because it was so hard to believe.

I give it a 2.5. It wasn't as good as some of her books, but it was a happy read for summer.
