I loved Fortune and Glory. Probably all that need be said is that it’s classic Stephanie Plum, which makes it an exciting and very entertaining read.
The plot this time is the hunt for Grandma Mazur’s treasure, which may or may not exist but belonged to her late husband Jimmy, a gangster who shares the right to any treasure with four other very dangerous but very old hoodlums. And...cars get totalled, donuts and canoli get eaten, Lula is an absolute riot, some bail skippers are re-taken in near-farcical circumstances, possibly the world’s most annoying man who decides it is his mission to protect Stephanie and the poor woman once again has to juggle her love life between two of the sexiest men in New Jersey. Like I said, classic Stephanie Plum.
It’s just great. I was completely hooked and laughed a lot. Janet Evanovich writes brilliantly, especially dialogue, and the whole thing is a monumental pleasure. Very warmly recommended – and there’s another one due in a couple of weeks. Hurrah!
