The ineffable Stephanie Plum returns in Evanovich’s
Look Alive Twenty-Five. In this volume Stephanie is dragooned by her boss into managing a local deli. This deli has a bit of an unsavory reputation --- its last three managers have disappeared, leaving behind nothing but a shoe. Under Stephanie’s watch two more people disappear leaving Stephanie with no choice but to buckle down and figure out just what is going on. Aided by the always provocative Lula and the usual cast of amusing characters and while simultaneously continuing to hunt down bounty jumpers Stephanie finally solves the case.
While this volume is indeed 25th in a series it can easily be read as a stand-alone and is perfect for anyone in the mood for a light-hearted, easy, easy read.
Additionally, since it's not the latest Plum, you can (as of the time of this post) find the book available for checkout as an eBook.
