Explosive Eighteen is the latest book in the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. This series is laugh out loud funny, and even after eighteen books it has yet to get old. Janet is brilliant at writing simple, fun, humorous books.
In this latest escapade, Stephanie has returned from a not so relaxing trip to Hawaii, and is still juggling two men, who are both as sexy as ever. The bail bonds office that she works for is being rebuilt, the skips she has to find are as outlandish as ever, her sidekick Lula comes so close to stealing the show that the reader wonders if she should have her own series. The big mystery in this book involves Stephanie's nemesis Joyce Barnhardt. Joyce is in trouble and needs Stephanie's help. Stephanie needs Joyce's help, too. Who would have thought these two would ever be able to work together? The result is laugh out loud funny.
By the end of the book, the reader is left wondering if Stephanie is any closer to resolving her man issues. My belief is that Ms. Evanovich is using these last few books to wrap up the series. I hope this is not true, as I could read these books forever. But it feels like she is finally trying to tie together the loose ends that unravel each time with Morelli and Ranger. This book isn't my favorite in the series, but it was still great.
Happy Reading!
