Evanovich's bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum, is up to more
hijinks in "Seven Up." When Eddie DeChooch skips bail it's up to
Stephanie to bring him in. Eddie may be old, but he's got his wits and he's
able to avoid Stephanie like the plague.
Complications arise when Dougie, then Mooner, disappear. Stephanie
figures out Eddie wants something from Dougie, but has no idea what. She's
going to need help from her friends Lula and Ranger to bring Eddie in. On the home front, Valerie, Stephanie's
sister moves back home, while marriage plans with Joe Morelli move forward.
What's a girl to do?
Evanovich's writing remains crisp and witty after seven
installments. There's never a dull moment in Stephanie's adventures. The
supporting cast is delightful. Grandma Mazur still finds entertainment in
visiting the funeral parlors and Valerie is convinced she wants to be a
lesbian. Evanovich continues to tug on the reader's heart with her all too
human characters. Even after seven
books, there's always something new to learn about them.
"Seven Up" is a cozy mystery that leaves the
reader guessing right along with Stephanie as she uncovers the clues to solve
the case. I would recommend this book for thirteen years on up. You'll laugh,
gasp, and hang onto the edge of your seat. "Seven Up" is a very
satisfying addition to the series.
