Notorious Nineteen (Stephanie Plum, #19)

by Janet Evanovich

Who guards the guardian angel?
Tracking down a multi-million-dollar fraudster who somehow walked out of hospital after major surgery should be easy, right? But Stephanie's got more pressing work: her unbearably handsome mentor Ranger has been getting death threats from a fellow ex-Special Forces operative. Suddenly, she's meant to be the one looking out for him.
But between her attraction to Ranger and the killer's determination, she'll be lucky if she makes it through the week...

Pretty standard for a Stephanie Plum novel. Predictable, but isn't that why we read them? I always know I will get a good giggle at some point in the book, and this one didn't disappoint. One of the better recent ones.

Once you’ve reached the 19th book in a series, there’s not a whole lot to say about new installments. At least, not in this series. This was really just more of the same. Stephanie + Lula + Morelli + Ranger + some weirdo skips = hijinks. While the same old, same old works well for the straight romances Evanovich used to write, it’s not working for a series this long. I did like the mystery in this one more than the last one — at least it made some sense to me. But otherwise, this series just doesn’t excite me any more. It might be time for Stephanie to take everyone’s advice and retire.

As usual, a whole lot of fun. I noticed this book felt a tiny bit more sedate though, less completely outrageous. It works - I really enjoyed the storyline, and the Ranger plot reminded me a lot of the earlier Plum books, humour, but with that thread of seriously creepy. Tiki is pure fun. A fairly nice balance of Ranger and Morelli and although I like them both, I enjoy the Ranger scenes more. Evanovich is one of the few authors I've ever read who can write a love triangle that I personally can live with and enjoy - I actually hope Stephanie never chooses between the two. There's nothing saying a series must follow the normal 'rules' of reality, so here's hoping for many more Plum books with both Ranger and Morelli.

I have read all of the Stephanie Plum novels so far and I just love these books. They are a very easy read and are something to read when you just wanna relax after a long day. They are just so humorous and I love all the characters, especially Grandma Mazur. It has a little bit of everything thrown in, while still being lighthearted.

I would recommend these books to anybody.
