Book Description:
Stephanie Plum has a way of attracting danger, lunatics, oddballs, bad luck... and mystery men. And no one is more mysterious than the unmentionable Diesel. He's back and hot on the trail of a little man in green pants who's lost a giant bag of money. Problem is the money isn't exactly lost. Stephanie's Grandma Mazur has found it, and like any good Jersey senior citizen she's high-tailed it in a Winnebago to Atlantic City and hit the slots. With Lula and Connie in tow, Stephanie attempts to bring Grandma home. But the luck of the Irish is rubbing off on everyone. Lula's found a job modeling plus size lingerie. Connie's found a guy. Diesel's found Stephanie. And Stephanie has found herself in over her head with a caper involving thrice stolen money, a racehorse, a car chase and a bad case of hives.

Same ol' same ol' in Trenton. It's a nice short read for a dreary afternoon that will get some laughs while you wait for the next book. However, it's not one of my favorites in the series.

Normally I don't care much about the Between-the-Numbers Plum books, as I don't find the stories quite as fulfilling or entertaining as the regular books in this series. This is the first one that I have to say I really enjoyed. The gang was at their finest, and even Diesel grew on me this time around. There were several 'laugh out loud' moments, as well as plenty of action and blown-up cars. Much better than I expected.

A short, quick read. Stephanie goes to Atlantic City to save her grandma who's been kidnapped. Diesel is back to help her out. This is a cute read, but not nearly as fun, funny or enjoyable as the rest of the series. HOWEVER, it was nice not to have to wait till summer for a new installment.

A cute,quick read, but not nearly as captivating,or funny as the rest of the series. It does do it's job and keep Stephanie and her buddies on your mind while waiting for Fearless Fourteen. Evanovich is never a bad read so if you are a die-hard Plum fan, don't leave this one out.

I really wasn't impressed. I remember loving these books when I first got into the series a few years ago. Now, I do find the books (usually from the library) when they come out - but reading them just kind of leaves me empty.

This is your typical between the numbers Stephanie Plum novel. If your a fan of this series it has a few enjoyable moments at Lula's expense, but otherwise it's a mediocre Plum story.

Another in her series of between the numbers books that deals with good looking hunk "Diesel". Boyfriend Joe and another hunk Ranger are mentioned a couple of times, but no real love story. Grandma is up to her normal crazy self, along with Connie and Lula. Another car blown up and a kidnapping.

The only disappointment with this book is that it wasn't longer! Diesel returns to the between the numbers book, and Grandma Mazur's back causing major headaches for Stephanie, teaming up again with Lula and Connie. Prior characters reappear in supporting or cameo roles. The book does its job - I can't wait for the next numbered installment.

This book was laugh-out-loud funny! It reminded me of the Keystone Cops I used to see on the old silent films. Everyone was running in all directions and bumping into each other in hilarious ways. I think this is the funniest book of the Stephanie Plum series. I had to stop reading several times because I was laughing out loud. It's not high-brow, but it sure made my day.

This is another 'Between the Numbers' books that features Stephanie Plum, Diesel, Lula, Grandma Mazur and the usual collection of off-beat characters that populate Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books. This one was so funny I didn't really miss Morelli or Ranger. Diesel is kind of growing on my too.

I don't want to give too much of the plot away. Let's just say that Grandma Mazur gets into a funny situation early on in the plot and it's up to Stephanie and Diesel to save the day. Lulu almost steals the book with some FUNNY scenes in an Atlantic City Casino. The scenes with Doug the horse were a riot.

Love everything Janet Evanovich writes. This book keeps you laughing from the start to finish. It's very intertaining.

Cute book. Not the best Stephanie Plum, but good.

Another fun, mindless Between the Numbers novel from the Plum series. A quick read with many funny moments.

This is the first of Janet Evanovich's books I've read and the combo of suspense & Laugh out loud moments was perfect.. Each character hilarious in their own way. I was glad that this book was just one of a series of many others (I decided to backtrack to the beginning and I am currently awaiting delivery of the first book in the series) You definitly have to read this book if you think it is impossible to roll together laugh out loud humor & shoot outs between bounty hunters & mobsters (as result of the kidnapping of a family member.......and an injured race horse!!!) This suspense/thriller is perfectly peppered with laugh out loud humor (believe me i read it in bed one night and i kept laughing (amost to tears over a few things) and my fiance kept asking "what is so funny" and when i ready him the line(s) i was laughing at from the book he even thought it was funny too!)

This is cute and comical. I love the number series with Stephanie Plum but I find the in between ones not to be as good. This one however kept my attention and was a fast easy read for a rainy day.
