I will not be as brutal as the publishers weekly review. I love the Stephanie Plum series, but I must admit they are getting to be the same pretty much again and again. Lula was center stage for this story though, which I liked. She is HILARIOUS! I really wish Stephanie would make up her mind on the Morelli and Ranger thing. Let me tell you, that is getting a little unrealistic. PS my vote is SOOOO for Ranger! I hope she starts to delve more into his history. I think it would spice things up.
From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Evanovich recycles tired themes better executed in earlier adventures in her latest Stephanie Plum adventure (Fearless Fourteen, etc.). When Lula inadvertently witnesses the beheading of culinary TV star Stanley Chipotle in a Trenton, N.J., alley, Stephanie's on-again off-again boyfriend, cop Joe Morelli, reluctantly takes the case. Lula, with the help of Grandma Mazur, enters the same barbequing competition Chipotle was in town to promote, hoping to lure the murderers out of hiding. Meanwhile, Ranger has recruited Stephanie to help solve a series of break-ins at properties under the protection of Rangeman Security. The inevitable sparks fly between Stephanie and Ranger, with Morelli grumbling on the sidelines. Evanovich dishes up her usual mixture of shoot-'em-up action (numerous cars explode) and quirky characters (notably a neighborhood flasher with a devoted following), but the lackluster plot will disappoint fans.
