Maybe it's just me, but this series has gotten rather stale. I just don't find it as funny anymore. Lula used to really crack me up, but now I just find her ridiculous and she can only get me to chuckle a couple of times in this book. Stephanie is so TSTL in that it just isn't even plausible she's still alive... and speaking of alive: What's up with the freaking hamster still being alive after all this time? I mean seriously, who's ever had a hamster to live as many years (even when you consider story time-lime) as the one in this series? By now it should be Zombie-Rex.
There's also the same ole ridiculous love-triangle involving Stephanie, Morelli, & Ranger. This drawn-out story-line is getting just as old and boring as the series. Don't look for any conclusions to it in this book because all it is, is the author teasing us because she needs to keep something going to readers keep wanting to get the next book she publishes. (It's probably the only reason I keep getting these books.) In my opinion, Evanovich should just really close up this series and maybe try to start afresh, because this is really the type of series someone would only truly like if they like characters that never grow or learn from their mistakes. Of course, I'm not sure what the author would do if she gave up writing her money-maker series... goddess forbid she have to get original.
I'm not sure why I keep reading this series, but I am really glad I haven't gone out to buy the last few that I've read when they were new. It would have really been a waste of money, especially with the wide spacing that's used and the blank pages between chapters that give it the illusion of being a bigger book that it actually is. I know I'll never actually buy another book by this author again. Although, granted, there were a couple of laughs in this book, but nothing like the laughing-until-I-cried stuff that was in the earlier books.
