"Typical Stephanie Plum book, at times exasperating, at times laugh out loud funny (read for Earl eating lasagna with Stephanies family, and Carl the monkey if nothing else). AS always in her books something will get you laughing aloud and that is not a bad thing. At all or ever."
— Andi (4 out of 5 stars)
“Lorelei King does her usual superlative job for the Evanovich oeuvre, adding juice and dimension to each wacky character…. King enhances the humor of this series, so much so that Evanovich fans should consider putting down that book and plugging in the CD player instead.
— Publishers Weekly, Starred ReviewWith an author like Evanovich, with many books, you get a feeling for how you think the characters will sound.... [Lorelei King] nailed them all.... I was so entranced by the reader that I kept listening until the end.
— Deadly Pleasures[Lorelei King's] throaty, self-assured voice, judiciously paced reading style, and matter-of-fact tones create a natural-sounding delivery that adds realism to this story of Stephanie Plum's search for a killer named Grimoire and his new business partner, a boy genius and physicist named Martin Munch.
— AudioFile magazine[King's] characterizations make for laugh-aloud listening.
— The Chapel Hill HeraldEvanovich is a sharp, funny, contemporary and clever writer... [with] a great cast of characters... Ms. Evanovich made me a convert.
— Winston-Salem Journal" On my second reading. Not as good as the numbered mysteries. "
— Linda, 2/20/2014" A Between-the-numbers story: only for die-hard Stephanie Plum fans. No zing, no real mystery but a bit of supernatural. Pure mindless entertainment. ??Halloween?? But the Easter Bunny shows up... Not even "spooky." Monkeys galore... "
— Pr, 1/25/2014" Aaaannnndddd I'm done with this series. Sigh, I will miss it. Although this was my least favorite of all the books I still gave it three stars because it had a cute little monkey in it. "
— Carly222, 1/22/2014" I really wish Evanovich would focus again... This was definitely inferior, even for a Plum story. Over the top and wildly implausible, even for a Plum story. I didn't realize it was out, and bought it in BWI, which meant paying full price, which it definitely wasn't worth. "
— Deena, 1/21/2014" This is my all time favorite Plum book!! It brings back Karl the monkey and Diesel!! It is monkeylicious!! "
— Kris, 1/21/2014" Read one, read 'em all. "
— Ray, 1/18/2014" I've never read an Evanovich book before, but after looking into her style, I guess this book was pretty typical. I was expecting more of a "Patterson feel", which there was a suspense element to the book, but it never got gory, and even had funny moments at times. I wish I had known this for the first half, as I would've appreciated those elements more. (Now I know for the future). This would be a good "Chick Lit Suspense" book, or even a "Beach Read." "
— Dana, 1/16/2014" For a between the numbers, this one was pretty good. "
— Patty, 1/14/2014" Another fast, fun read by Janet Evanovich. In many respects, the basic story structure is the standard Janet E. plot arc, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying every word. "
— Tawny, 12/21/2013" as usual, totally fun and full of action and laughs in this between-the-numbers adventure. would have liked to see more Ranger of course and more of Morelli, but Diesel is a real charmer as well. its more fun than a barrel full of monkeys....did someone say monkeys? lol "
— Wendy, 12/20/2013" Enjoyable mystery. Keeps one laughing. "
— Carol, 12/19/2013" Love Carl & Diesel! Laugh out loud fun as only Evanovich can do. "
— Sheri, 12/13/2013" i always love the in between novels... its a little something extra to keep you going until the next book comes out "
— Cheryl, 12/3/2013" oh the monkies lol "
— Mel, 11/25/2013" foolish fun "
— Jane, 11/23/2013" It was OK for a Stephanie Plum book but I have read better. "
— Dawn, 8/7/2013" I love Carl! "
— Veralyn, 6/23/2013" Intrepid Stephanie Plum again works to apprehend the bail skippers. How does she manage to always be surrounded by hunky men who adore her? There's always a hunk to pull her ass out of the flames. Wanna be her! "
— Kitty, 4/1/2013" Best of the between the numbers books! "
— Jill, 3/3/2013" Finally a full-length "between the numbers" Stephanie Plum story, not Plum Lite. Diesel is back, battling his cousin. Monkeys, Lula, Ranger, and a guy who farts fire. Who could ask for anything more (except the upcoming Finger Lickin' Fifteen)? "
— Skip, 10/26/2012" so far this is the best of the Stephanie Plum and Diesel stories... this is also the book that explains what happened between Lula and Tank! "
— Regina, 10/26/2012" These can get more than corny, but I still enjoy them! They are fun listens for my husband and I. "
— Brenda, 8/29/2012" My favorite Janet Evanovich book so far! And I've noticed I'm starting to become a "groupie". "
— Arica, 7/14/2012" Was good, but I liked the plum series better than the (between the numbers)! "
— Terri, 4/17/2012" Love to read about Stephanie and her antics. Never know what she will do next. This is a definite "Laugh out Loud" book. Easy read, finished in about 4 days. "
— Katherine, 4/1/2012" One of Stephanie's funniest adventures. I actually laughed out loud. Carl the monkey was a hoot! "
— Teresa, 3/25/2012" this book is laugh out loud funny and I am so glad she chose to keep Carl the monkey in other books! "
— Christine, 2/29/2012" Stephanie Plum and her pals always please. "
— Linda, 2/17/2012" This "between the numbers" book was fun. I know I definitely do not want to raise a monkey. "
— Bhindman, 12/12/2011" I have figured it out I LOVE EVERY BOOK SHE WRITES in the Stephanie Plum Series.... "
— Chris, 11/11/2011" I really like this whole series so far!! The characters are funny and quirky and the story is fun as well. "
— Shari, 11/11/2011" Generally good fun, but overly reliant on flatulance (typical and the flaming kind--don't ask) as a plot mover and source of humor. "
— Stefanie, 5/11/2011" This a "between the" novels of the Stephanie Plum serious. These books are very short and easy to read. "
— Nneutz, 5/8/2011" Very funny in between the other novels "
— Lindsey, 5/2/2011" Pure fluff - did this one on audio book Really? Monkeys? Meh "
— Krissy, 4/27/2011" Wow this was definitely a different but exciting novel. Who would have thought it...monkeys. A lot different then Evanovichs other novels but still as good. Can't wait to see what comes up next. "
— Sarah, 4/20/2011" Diesel is back. There are monkeys. There is a guy who can fart fire. There are monkeys. Lula is allergic to Tank. There are monkeys. There is a very bad guy. Did I mention that there are monkeys? "
— Amy, 4/17/2011" This book was everything I needed. It's never going to win literary awards, but it made me laugh, chuckle and smile. Perfect weekend read. "
— Penny, 4/16/2011" Charming and very funny story. The characters were interesting, my favorites being Diesel and Carl the monkey. Really... a monkey. You'd have to read it to understand.<br/><br/>This book is a good time. "
— Caren, 4/6/2011" Not as good as the numbered Stephanie Plum series but still good "
— Steph, 4/5/2011" It's Stephanie Plum, what's not to love? At least one car got destroyed, Ranger said "Babe" like 10 times, lots of fun<br/> "
— Kendra, 4/3/2011" For a between the numbers, this one was pretty good. "
— Patty, 4/1/2011" Diesal shows up again and it is never a good sign. Also with a monkey on her back, literally it is time for another adventure. <br/> <br/>Think this one is one of the better between the novels. Well written and fast paced. "
— Melissa, 3/30/2011" Not the best Stephanie Plum, but it was a quick and easy read! "
— Angela, 3/27/2011" The only thing I dislike about this series is the everlasting standstill on Stephanie Plum's relationships. I haven't read all of the books, but in the ones I have read nothing ever happens on the romance front. "
