“Suspenseful to the end!”
Evanovich remains fresh with another tale full of suspense
that will you guessing with “Lean Mean Thirteen.” When Ranger asks Stephanie to
plant a bug on her ex-husband, Dickie, trouble follows her everywhere.
Stephanie goes to Dickie’s office to plant Ranger’s bug and
loses her cool. She chokes Dickie and takes Aunt Tootsie’s clock back before
leaving. Next thing she knows, Dickie’s missing, blood is everywhere, and she’s
the main suspect!
To clear her good name, Stephanie becomes more involved in
Ranger’s investigation. She soon learns that Dickie’s partners deal drugs, sell
weapons, and use the business to launder money. As Stephanie is drawn deeper
into Dickie’s problems, she becomes a target, and the weapon of choice is a
flamethrower! There’s plenty of twists and surprises, but can Morelli and
Ranger keep her safe?
Evanovich’s writing is crisp, sharp, and witty. The
supporting cast still entertains. Lula and Grandma Mazur are back, along with
Coglin, an FTA who can’t get any service from the cable company. Evanovich
maybe 13 books into the series, but each story’s plot is still creative
and original.
“Lean Mean Thirteen” is a cozy mystery. There are unexpected
twists and a couple of surprises that will keep you on your toes. If you enjoy
a good “whodunit” with lots of laughs, you’ll enjoy this book.
