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, and perhaps even a sighting of the Jersey Devil…so hang on for a Stephanie Plum novel that is sure to send chills up your spine—it gives new meaning to the words hilarious, and “spooky.”

Summary: Longing for the original Stephanie and great writing
Comment: I bought it, I read it, I wish I hadn't read it. It makes me sad and longing for the earlier Plum books. I loved those books. Where JE has taken this book is in to the silly, childish type of humor area. Farting and monkeys repeatedly do not make me laugh. Stephanie getting in trouble and having Ranger and Morelli in the mix are what I want. If you like Diesel and the "unmentionable" theme, then you might like this book. Personally, I am just saddened as I used to re-read these novels but have not enjoyed 13, 14 or plum spooky. Hopefully, JE will go back to what she had when she began the series or if not at least develop the characters and let Stephanie start making some decisions so that if JE is only going to write to #16, we can start getting some closure.

Summary: Plum Spooky is a "Magical" Delight
Comment: "Plum Spooky" is a magical delight for Stephanie Plum fans. I have not been a fan of her past novellas and Fearless 14, but I found myself laughing out loud for many parts. I was skeptical of a Halloween theme in mid January, but instead of focusing on Halloween, it focused around mysterious and "spooky" happenings during her Bond trailing. Diesel (for once) is charming and the monkey adds a little humor. Although, since this was a bigger novella than her other ones I would have liked more Morelli and Ranger. (go Ranger)
So why do I give it 4-Stars? This series has no growth and no character development. It continues to be a fun and interesting read but nothing ever changes, not even the plot developments. Different skips, same plot outline. And 14+ books into the series and Stephanie is still nowhere closer to choosing a man. I know Janet is only contracted through 16 books and is considering more, but I say let a good thing go and stop at 16.

Summary: Disappointing, Again
Comment: Janet seems to have lost her touch with the past two books. I am not a big fan of the in between books but Plum Spooky was better than Fearless Fourteen. I was attracted to the Stephanie Plum books for the humor which seems to have disappeared. Can three goregous men really want Stephanie? I doubt it. Disappointing.
Customer Rating:
Summary: I agree...this is more silly than funny.
Comment: I have enjoyed the Plum seiries over the years. I am not expecting much, light entertainment, a good beach read. The books have always kept me laughing, the sharp humor is what I most enjoy. Plum Spooky however, just did not work for me, it came off as silly with no real suspense. For now I'll just chalk this up to one bad outing, but I might check the next book a little closer before I buy. Speaking of good beach reads do check out the cult classic thriller A Tourist In The Yucatan.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Great Read
Comment: This book is funny as hell! I admit it's not quite up yo par with the usual "number" novels, but definently a trip to read.
