Fearless Fourteen (2008)

JUICY PLUM Janet Evanovich scores again with Fearless Fourteen, her new Stephanie Plum mystery

Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is back, and she's as entertaining as ever. In her 14th outing, she tries to help her cop boyfriend Morelli figure out why people are breaking into his home. (Could it be because his ex-con cousin Dom Rizzi buried his bank-robbery booty there?) She helps her flirt buddy Ranger do personal security for a Dolly-like sexagenarian singer named Brenda. Then she and her ex-prostitute partner, the scene-stealing Lula, somehow end up filming a COPS-meets-The Simple Life TV special with Brenda — for Fox, naturally. In short: Fearless Fourteen is the quick and quirky book Janet Evanovich fans have come to expect. B+
