And Now for Something Completely Different

After plowing through Undaunted Courage I felt the need for something light and fluffy.  Smokin' Seventeen by Janet Evanovich fit the bill!

Smokin' Seventeen is the, and I'm not trying to state the obvious here, 17th book in the Stephanie Plum series.  Stephanie is a reluctant bounty hunter in the city of Trenton, NJ, a place where pot-roast-making mothers, Tony Soprano wannabes, and crazy curse-wielding grannies all meet to gossip at the local deli. Which means that EVERYONE knows your business in Trenton, which can be helpful when trying to track down FTA's.  (That's "failure to appear" in bounty hunter-ease.)  The trouble with Stephanie is that she attracts trouble.  And explosions.  And really psychotic perps.  Not to mention TWO gorgeous but complicated men.

So if you are looking for a light read and a good laugh, try Smokin' Seventeen.  Then go back and start at the beginning...One for the Money, Two for the Dough...etc., etc.  Enjoy!

PS:  Thank you to Monty Python for the title of this post!
