Hardcore Twenty-Four

Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series reaches 24 with Hardcore Twenty-Four.  This volume finds Stephanie babysitting a snake while dealing with an outbreak of missing and stolen heads/brains and the zombie related fears that inevitably accompany such a crime streak.  While the story is not high on sense and logic the characters remain as entertainingly eccentric as ever.  Pick it up if you’ve been enjoying the series for the charm of its people and avoid it if you hope for reason in your storytelling.
