Same old story
This book is funny enough, but it relies on the same devices as we have seen in the previous 14 books of the series. Stephanie Plum is the hapless, hopeless bounty hunter in Trenton, NJ. In each novel several of her cars are destroyed, one way or another. Her off and on romances with Ranger and Morelli never quite jell. The hamster goes around in his wheel. Ms Plum's grandmother causes disasters at the funeral home. And the fat ex-'ho assistant to Stephanie gorges herself on donuts, putting a serious strain on her spandex skirt.Unfortunately the humor doesn't come from anything new, and much of it is crude--anal, if you will. Enough, already. Perhaps the series will contune until suckers like this one quit buying the books--which is now, for me. My recommendation is to put this to rest, create a new central character in a new occupation. And stop telling the same jokes.
