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)

very entertaining

I thought this was the funniest of her "Plum" books. Not much from Morelli or Ranger, but lots of laughs from Lula, Diesel, Gramma Masur and a few very unlikely characters. This is a little less fantasy than her other "extra" Stephanie stories, and I really enjoyed it.

Plum Lucky to discover Janet Evanovich books

This was my second read in the Stepanie Plum series. Each one gets better and better. Janet Evanovich is a wonderful author and she could not have picked a better narrator than Lorelei King. Plum Lucky was delightful. It brought a smile to my face numerous times. Both author and narrator brought the characters to life. It was as if I was in a theatre watching a play. Great job ladies!!!!!

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

Unlucky to me

These books are becoming very formulaic and I've felt somewhat cheated by the very predictable response of the characters to each situation. It is still a fairly amusing book but not worth a recommendation from this reader.

Not so great

Evanovich seems to be slipping. Her early books were tremendously funny, but this just didnt cut it.

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.

No Joe nor Ranger

Stephanie pairs with a character from an early novel called Diesel in "Plum Lucky" and I found I really missed Joe and/or Ranger. A good read that amuses but I wouldn't rank it as one of my favourites. I'm not going to give away any of the plot but the antics are still as cute as ever. Written for St Patricks Day there may even be a leprechaun involved!

Plum Lucky

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

Disapointment to the Stephanie Plum Series

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I have loved the Stephanie Plums series, I have listen to the first 4 in the series when I purchased this one. I found the story and the naration disappointing.

What could Janet Evanovich have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

I like fanasty but it does not fit with Stephanie Plum.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Lorelei King?

CJ Critt She has made the character's come alive and none the others narrator's compare.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

disappointment! I need not feel that it was up to Janet Evanovich usual standards.

Any additional comments?

These are just my opinion.

Fun Listen

I have enjoyed several of the books in this series by this author. I listen to them between other longer, heavier tracks when I require a "half hour sitcom." I feel strongly that the narration helps make this title so enjoyable, Lorelei King really is super with the characters voices.
