Publisher's summary

Personal vendettas, hidden treasure, and a monkey named Carl will send bounty hunter Stephanie Plum on her most explosive adventure yet.

The Crime: Armed robbery to the tune of nine million dollars

Dom Rizzi robbed a bank, stashed the money, and did the time. His family couldn't be more proud. He always was the smart one.

The Cousin: Joe Morelli

Joe Morelli, Dom Rizzi, and Dom's sister, Loretta, are cousins. Morelli is a cop, Rizzi robs banks, and Loretta is a single mother waiting tables at the firehouse. The all-American family.

The Complications: Murder, kidnapping, destruction of personal property, and acid reflux

Less than a week after Dom's release from prison, Joe Morelli has shadowy figures breaking into his house and dying in his basement. He's getting threatening messages, Loretta is kidnapped, and Dom is missing.

The Catastrophe: Moonman

Morelli hires Walter "Mooner" Dunphy, stoner and "inventor" turned crime fighter, to protect his house. Morelli can't afford a lot on a cop's salary, and Mooner will work for potatoes.

The Cupcake: Stephanie Plum

Stephanie and Morelli have a long-standing relationship that involves sex, affection, and driving each other nuts. She's a bond enforcement agent with more luck than talent, and she's involved in this bank-robbery-gone-bad disaster from day one.

The Crisis: A favor for Ranger

Security expert Carlos Manoso, street name Ranger, has a job for Stephanie that will involve night work. Morelli has his own ideas regarding Stephanie's evening activities.

The Conclusion: Only the fearless should listen to Fourteen.

Thrills, chills, and incontinence may result.

Critic reviews

"Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter with a great sense of humor that balances out her attitude and worse luck...like Dorothy Parker with a lousy job and a Jersey accent." ( Time)
"Evanovich's series is as addictive as Fritos...Evanovich serves up consistently craveable goodies." ( People)

The best yet!

The main characters are taken to another level with new characters added that bring out more dynamics. It is very entertaining.

love it

This series keeps you reading. it brings you back again and again. This is the fifth time I have read it. Can't wait for the next one.

Laughed out loud

I was worried that my kids would see me laughing and wonder if I was okay. I want to be grandma Mazur when I get old enough. Loved this book.

Fearless Fourteen

This was a classic Evonovich. The book was very entertaining, and included her usual humor. I really enjoyed the new characters in this book. Their personalities were really developed. Also, the reader does a very nice job creating different voices for the characters.

Everything AND the kitchen sink

I am a total sucker for Stephanie Plum and this one has it all -- both Morelli and Ranger, real skips, crazy fading entertainer playing off of Lula's desire for fame, and even a chimp. My husband was in the car with me one day while I was listening and HE gt so caught up in fifteen minutes that I had to loan him the recording when I was finished.

Janet Evanovich has a genuine talent for dialog that shines in this novel. I hope that she keeps writing about Sophie for a long time to come.

I'm Addicted!

It all started with the sneak preview of "Plum Spooky". I wasn't sure this would be my "cup of tea", but I went ahead and used one of my credits. I LOVED IT! After that I bought the paperback of "Plum Lucky" and read it while on vacation. Now I'm almost finished with "Fearless Fourteen" and have downloaded "Eleven on Top". (should I be reading these in order?) I can't get enough! The characters are so quirky and her books are laugh-out-loud funny...who would have guessed! Lorelei King is an excellent narrator.. I love the way she portrays Lula and Granny (my favorite characters). At this rate Evanovich won't be able to write enough to keep up with me!

Great!!!

This is one of my favorites so far!! The characters are so amazing!!! The performance is wonderful as always! Loved number 14. This is such a great story and a good break with a slightly different format. Can’t say enough about the depth and fun of these characters.

Great

Fast moving stories with, great characters, and lots of humor. What's not to to like

Love, love, love the reader

I really like this series, but totally disagree with the reviewer who says they are better read than listened to. I think Lorelei King is a genius at reading these books and going back and forth between different voices. Love listening to her.

Fabulous as usual

Love,love, love Stephanie Plum and her crazy cast of friends. Lorali really brings all of the characters to life. You can really picture them in your mind. Janet never disappoints!!! This is a must listen:)
