[Eve1972]

Sometimes a book is just there to entertain you, no deeper meaning, no life lessons, just pure entertainment and fun. This would be one of those books! This book was a total riot and I loved every page of it. Coincidently this was my first time reading anything by this author, but if all her books are as enjoyable as this one, she has a fan for life!

Plum Spooky was alright. Diesel's back, tracking down his cousin, Wulf, and Stephanie needs to find Martin Munch or her cousin Vinnie will go into the red. Apparently his boss is not one to cross. Diesel and Stephanie work together to find them since Martin and Wulf are in cahoots. It had the usual antics and made me chuckle a few times. It's a cute addition to the series. 3.5 stars

This was the first full-length Between-the-Numbers book, and I think it was by far the best. Unlike the usual Plum novels, here you have the addition of Diesel and his strange abilities, which makes for a different sort of adventure for Stephanie. However, along the way are all your favorites — Morelli, Ranger (though it could have used more Ranger), Lula, Grandma, stubborn bail jumpers, and wrecked vehicles. Oh, and Elmer the fire farter. I’ll say no more about him. And let’s not forget about Carl the monkey, who was a much more pleasant addition than I expected. The scientific plot here is a little more confusing than the usual Plum mystery, but I really enjoyed this listen.
