Recipe for disaster: Celebrity chef Stanley Chipotle comes to Trenton to participate in a barbecue cook-off and loses his head – literally. Throw in some spice: Bail bonds office worker Lula is witness to the crime, and the only one she'll talk to is Trenton cop, Joe Morelli. Pump up the heat: Chipotle's sponsor is offering a million-dollar reward to anyone who can provide information leading to the capture of the killers. Stir the pot: Lula recruits bounty hunter Stephanie Plum to help her find the killers and collect the moolah. Add a secret ingredient: Stephanie's Grandma Mazur. Enough said. Bring to a boil: Can Stephanie hunt down two killers, a traitor, five skips, keep her grandmother out of the sauce, solve Ranger's problems and not jump his bones? Warning: Janet Evanovich's Finger Lickin' Fifteen is habanero hot. So good you'll want seconds.

"Another entertaining Stephanie Plum adventure with a slightly different focus. Most of this story revolves around Lula with a good sidekick sized helping of Grandma Mazer. More exploding cars, Stephanie naked, Stephanie and the hotdog...What more could you ask for..."
— Jeff (5 out of 5 stars)
“Evanovich writes with flair in an absurdist vein that her imitators can only envy.
— The New York TimesEvanovich dishes up her usual mixture of shoot-'em-up action (numerous cars explode) and quirky characters (notably a neighborhood flasher with a devoted following).
— Publishers WeeklyThe 15th chapter of Evanovich's long-running Stephanie Plum series still keeps the wacky factor hilariously high. Only Evanovich can make the shenanigans of this nutty crew seem almost reasonable.... There are giggles galore!
— RT Book ReviewsRead Finger Lickin' Fifteen for the laughs.
— Omaha World-Herald" Still in love with the Plum series 15 books later. Stephanie is one of those characters that wraps themselves around your heart even though there's not a lot of depth. My favorite guilty pleasure. "
— Monica, 2/15/2014" Always fun to read about Stephanie Plum's adventures. "
— Daryl, 2/13/2014" This was not one of my favorites. Not enough Morelli, and the ending was really weak. "
— Bonnie, 2/9/2014" Not her best work but I want to read all of them so I'll continue to do so "
— Natalia, 2/8/2014" Good, but not as fun as others. Stephanie continues to be torn between the two sexy men in her life - Joe Morelli and Ranger - while mayhem erupts around her. This time, though, most of the mayhem is aimed at her friend Lula. "
— Linda, 2/6/2014" I love the Stephanie Plum books, but this one is not Evanovich's best. Felt like she just cranked it out. Not very funny. Not good tension or chemistry with either Joe Morelli or Ranger. "
— Melanie, 1/21/2014" I enjoyed it, but find the relationship with Ranger a bit frustrating. She seems to have it that she is in such a quandry over which guy to choose but she chooses the same guy every time. If I were Ranger I'd give up on her!!!! "
— Andrea, 1/18/2014" Fun! Made me hungry for some fried chicken ;) "
— Becca, 1/3/2014" Another fun tale about Stephanie's adventures. Delivers the usual thrilling and hilarious escapades! "
— Marissa, 1/1/2014" Loved this book and all the books in this series... Morelli and Ranger... pant, pant!!! "
— RSL, 12/15/2013" This is the funniest book I have read in years and years. It is gut wrenchingly funny. "
— Frank, 12/15/2013" One of her funniest books i was loling constantly!!! "
— Annie, 11/21/2013" Good brain candy :) "
— Cari, 11/8/2013" I love Lula. I had no idea at the beginning where this character would go. "
— Jena, 10/23/2013" A lol and entertaining book! I guess there's lots in this series so that's pretty cool! "
— Lisa, 9/27/2013" It was okay. The other books of the series were more fun. but it was easy reading and was quite right to cuddle on the couch on a rainy day with a cup of tea. "
— Haferkeks, 9/1/2013" Just a fun, silly read! If you are in the mood for it this is another zany addition to an enjoyable series. I was, and I loved every minute of it. "
— Alora, 7/25/2013" I'm just coming back to the Stephanie Plum series after a long break and this book made me remember just how hard Stephanie and her posse can make me laugh. Lorelei King does a great job reading this one too. "
— Amy, 6/16/2013" Pretty funny. I love the books. Stephanie manages to get herself into all kinds of weird trouble. "
— Bobbi, 5/7/2013" goodness gracious! i enjoy this series a great deal...this intall lacked something?? There was not enough morelli! sorry i'm still rootin' for morelli. Ranger is NICE but that can only a girl so far "
— Samantha, 3/22/2013" I love reading Janet Evanovich books. I have read everyone she has written and have enjoyed each one. "
— Pat, 5/3/2012" I am finding as I move through the series, I am not enjoying them as much...perhaps they are feeling formulaic? Stephanie was not her usual fearless self. I also don't appreciate the whole "which man will I choose" dilema as much...time to make a choice and move on. "
— Mrs.b, 2/17/2012" One part made me laugh so hard it brought tears to my eyes so I rated it a 4. I think the books are starting to all sound the same and hope 17 has some twist and turns that keep me guessing and interested in her books. "
— Sandy, 1/13/2012" I'm buring through these books like crazy. I can accept the formula for the books since they always make me laugh out loud. "
— Dana, 10/21/2011" Entertaining and a good book to listen to in the car. "
— Sarah, 7/9/2011" Another of Evanovich's hilarious Stephanie Plum novels. Always fun.<br/> "
— Steve, 5/21/2011" Loving these book - Laugh out loud funny!!! "
— Mandy, 5/11/2011" This was my least favorite of Janet Evanovich's crazy Stephanie Plum series. It was like an episode of the Three Stooges and more over the top than any of the others I've read. Not sure I'm moving onto #16 after this one. Disappointing. "
— Karyn, 5/4/2011" I am addicted to this series, although much of the books are very familiar with little changing except new details of plot. Much of the wording stays the same! <br/>Book fifteen did not disappoint - I laughed just as much as the previous novels. <br/>BUT will I read Sixteen?? "
— Barbara, 4/26/2011" I can't remember the last time I have read a book and laughed out loud while reading it. I have read two of Janet Evanovich's books and it has happened twice! I'm going looking for 1-14.... "
— Deeg, 4/25/2011" Very cute! I'm sad I'm almost caught up. "
— Catherine, 4/22/2011" Thought perhaps Janet had worn out Stephanie Plum but then she had the Hobbits save the day and brought me back. <br/> "
— CJ, 4/15/2011" The mystery was pretty standard for this series, but the action, especially toward the end, was laugh-out-loud funny. "
— John, 4/15/2011" Typical Evanovich. Stephanie Plum is such as disaster I can't help but want to read more. Fun, sassy, nice light read. "
— Carolyn, 4/13/2011" Gosh I love these books! I laughed and giggled all the way home listening to it on CDs! "
— Mary, 4/12/2011" Same old same old in the world of Stephanie Plum. Mostly, I was just glad it was a Ranger book since I'm a Ranger girl. "
— Emmalisa, 4/12/2011" Still in love with the Plum series 15 books later. Stephanie is one of those characters that wraps themselves around your heart even though there's not a lot of depth. My favorite guilty pleasure. "
