My Thoughts:

For light relief, the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich is hard to beat. I hadn’t realised I’d missed quite so many instalments until I looked it up but luckily, even though I’ve skipped from #18 to #28, it makes little difference.

In Game On, bond enforcement agent, Stephanie, with the assistance of an astrological challenged Lula, is chasing five FTA’s- a homeless man who roasts ducks in a local park, an exhausted mother who shot up a bakery when all she wanted was an eclair, a man who makes his living as an event ‘mooner’, a computer hacker who replaced the evening news with a porno clip, and international cyber criminal and murderous psychopath, Oswald Wednesday, who is way out of Stephanie’s league. Luckily Diesel, who is also after Wednesday on behalf of his mysterious employer, and Ranger, are around to back Stephanie up, which is convenient when she has a source she needs to protect, yet another car meets an untimely demise, and she and Lula are taken hostage.

There’s a formula to the Stephanie Plum series that involves bad luck, disaster and near misses, offset by wisecracks, healthy dose of slapstick, and sexual tension, so there aren’t any surprises in the plot of Game On exactly, but it is fast paced and entertaining. I always enjoy Lula’s antics, giggle at Grandma Mazur’s sass, and lust after Ranger, Morelli, (and now Diesel too), as Stephanie barely manages to keep it together.

Game On is another fun instalment in the Stephanie Plum series, I expect fans will enjoy this, as should first timers.
