Funny and Suspenseful
Evanovich brings her unique brand of humor and nail-biting suspense to
Stephanie Plum’s latest adventure in Fearless Fourteen. Dom Rizzi robbed a bank
and hid the money which was never found. Now that he’s out, people are coming
out of the woodwork looking for a dollar or two from the stashed loot.
When Dom’s sister, Loretta, a skip Stephanie is helping out, is
kidnapped, Steph’s stuck with Loretta’s teenage son, Zook. She takes the
teenager to Morelli’s house, but soon people are breaking into Morelli’s house
looking for the money Dom hid.
When Dom’s associates start to show up dead, Stephanie realizes time
is running out to find Loretta. As she gets closer to the kidnapper and money,
Dom goes missing and the kidnappers start sending Morelli body parts. Can
Stephanie find Loretta and the money before more people die?
Evanovich’s writing is crisp and easy to read. The story has a nice
blend of action and characterization. The supporting cast continues to
entertain, especially as Lula plans her wedding to Tank. If anything, the
Morelli/Loretta angle is a bit unsettling, and it felt like Evanovich was
reaching for a twist that wasn’t really needed.
“Fearless Fourteen” is a cozy mystery that offers laughter, suspense,
and will the keep the reader turning the pages to find out if Steph and Morelli
can find the money and save Loretta before the bad guys can.
