Description
Evanovich fans rejoice! Stephanie Plum is back in town, along with her sidekick Lula, her Grandma Mazur, and an ever-widening cast of freaks, criminals, deranged felons, and lunatics looking for love. And just when Stephanie thinks her life can't get any more complicated, in walks the mysterious Diesel, a man who seems to show up at the most inconvenient moments. This time, he's the instigator for Stephanie's new adventure, which involves camping in the Pine Barrens with Lula, lots of monkeys, and perhaps even a sighting of the Jersey Devil. . . So turn on all the lights and check under your bed. Things are about to get spooky in Trenton, New Jersey!
This humorous, some might say silly, novel will engage listeners in large measure because of Lorelei King's narration. Her throaty, self-assured voice, judiciously paced reading style, and matter-of-fact tones create a natural-sounding delivery that adds realism to this story of Stephanie Plum's search for a killer named Grimoire and his new business partner, a boy genius and physicist named Martin Munch. King finds unique character voices for the usual cast of Plum's associates, Lula, Diesel, and Connie, as well as Grandma Mazur. While the story is lighthearted and fast paced, some Plum fans may wish for more character development and one-liners, and fewer juvenile jokes and monkeys. S.C.A. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
