Review:
Another Evanovich gem
Probably all that really need be said about Look Alive 25 is that
it’s another immensely enjoyable Stephanie Plum book...which, of
course, means that it’s completely absurd, quite exciting, very
funny in places and just a huge pleasure to read.
This time Stephanie
and the wonderful Lula find themselves running a deli (don’t ask)
with the help of two amusing druggie cooks, whose managers keep
disappearing in very suspicious circumstances. They have their usual
chaotic time at their day job of apprehending Bail Bond defaulters,
Stephanie has her choice of the two sexiest men in New Jerseyand Lula
is her unfailingly hilarious self (her creative sandwich-making and
dress sense as a waitress are simply brilliant). The only classic
Evanovich trope missing here is that Stephanie fails to total a
single car, although to be fair, she makes up for it spectacularly in
other ways.
Evanovich’s
writing is as crisp, witty and readable as ever, and 25 books in,
this series shows no sign of slowing down or growing stale. This is
well up to standard and warmly recommmended.
