Publisher's summary

Looking to get lucky?

Stephanie Plum is back between-the-numbers and she's looking to get lucky in an Atlantic City hotel room, in a Winnebago, and with a brown-eyed stud who has stolen her heart.

Stephanie Plum has a way of attracting danger, lunatics, oddballs, bad luck . . . and mystery men. And no one is more mysterious than the unmentionable Diesel. He's back and hot on the trail of a little man in green pants who's lost a giant bag of money. Problem is, the money isn't exactly lost. Stephanie's Grandma Mazur has found it, and like any good Jersey senior citizen, she's hightailed it in a Winnebago to Atlantic City and hit the slots. With Lula and Connie in tow, Stephanie attempts to bring Grandma home, but the luck of the Irish is rubbing off on everyone: Lula's found a job modeling plus-size lingerie. Connie's found a guy. Diesel's found Stephanie. And Stephanie has found herself in over her head with a caper involving thrice-stolen money, a racehorse, a car chase, and a bad case of hives.

Plum Lucky is an all-you-can-eat buffet of thrills, chills, shrimp cocktail, plus-size underwear, and scorching hot men. It's a between-the-numbers treat no Evanovich fan will want to miss!

Critic reviews

"Evanovich's series is as addictive as Fritos....Evanovich serves up consistently craveable goodies." ( People)
"Chutzpah and sheer comic inventiveness�in addition to good fun, the Evanovich/Plum books serve as a nice antidote to everything in pop fiction today." ( The Washington Post)
"No less than her plotting, Evanovich's characterizations are models of screwball artistry. The intricate plot machinery of her comic capers is fueled by inventive twists." ( The New York Times)

Grandma Mazur in Atlantic City!

Add a star if you like Diesel.
Can't wait for number 24 in the regular series!

Quite good!

I really love this series because it's so well read, and because it always makes me laugh out loud. We need to laugh -- it's good for us:-) No great mysteries or character development, and eventually, the idea is going to peter out. But good listening for now.

You're not from Jersry are you?

Evanovich writes about a gal, Italian to her toes, Jersey born and bred, hot for her first grade boyfriend turned cop and about three other guys.

Wait, how come the reader lacks the accent that tells the reader what Plum is all about. She's good, this reader, she enunciates, keeps you awake and is coherent but there's no Jersey, no garlic, no Italian, no lust and spitfire.
Where's Stephanie?

Love her books

Wish she could write faster. Have all of her audio books. And will always continue to buy them. Just love her

...fun, exciting, and very entertaining listen.

Audiobook Review – Plum Lucky – Janet Evanovich
Listened to this Stephanie Plum between-the-numbers audiobook with my wife while driving back to Tampa from her parents’ 60th wedding anniversary in Topeka, Kansas. “Plum Lucky’ by author Janet Evanovich was the second holiday – St. Patrick’s Day – in-between-the-numbers novella we listened to during our lengthy drive – the Valentines Day “Plum Lovin’” was the first. This Stephanie Plum adventure was lively, exciting, and as usual amusing! Stephanie's Grandma Mazur finds a duffle bag full of money on the street and like any other good New Jersey senior citizen, she hightails with it in a newly purchased Winnebago to Atlantic City to hit the slots. With supporting hilarious characters Lula and Connie in tow, Stephanie goes to Atlantic City to bring Grandma Mazur back home, but trouble ensues with a little wannabe ‘leprechaun’ who says the $800,000+ is his and he wants it back, but so do the gangsters he stole it from. Stephanie, along with the mysterious Diesel, finds herself in over her head with a caper involving thrice-stolen money, a sick racehorse, gangsters, and a little person with a bad Irish accent that thinks he’s a leprechaun. Crazy, rousing, and just plain fun, Plum Lucky was an enjoyable and entertaining 3-hour listen. The narration was great!

Outrageous fun and a happy ending

A grand adventure with Stephanie and her grandma. Atlantic City and a racehorse plus a leprechaun it’s a must for long trips. Pure fun

Not So Lucky

If you could sum up Plum Lucky in three words, what would they be?

Funny

What other book might you compare Plum Lucky to and why?

It fit all the books of Janet Evanovich

What about Lorelei King’s performance did you like?

I think she really can give a feel of each character

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, it makes a bad day better because it make you laugh

Not So Lucky

Not nearly as exciting or memorable as past Stephanie Plum novels. No sexual tension between her and Ranger or even her & Joe which is such a key ingredient in these fun stories.
In fact -they hardly appear in the tale.
Sorry janet - try harder next time. Give us what we really want.

Plum Lucky

I always enjoy Janet Evanovich's books. It is typical but has the humor and lightness of her style.

Side splitting laughter

This book spotlights Lula (the Super Model). It is side splitting laughter especially when she creates a "diversion". Now when we see a woman dressed as a "Lula look alike" we look at one another say "Super Model", wait until the person passes and then break out laughing. Even though the book is over we are still having fun with it.
