Delightful author.Everyone needs a good laugh as these characters tangle wth each other!

PLOT OR PREMISE:
While on a flight back from a trip to Hawaii with both Ranger and Morelli (it's complicated), Stephanie's seatmate gets whacked during a layover and everyone thinks Stephanie knows something

WHAT I LIKED:
While the lighter side of the Plum series is the main draw, it is nice to see that once in awhile it goes a bit darker. Stephanie has real bruises and knife nickmarks, and Morelli and Ranger had a knock-down drag-out fight, with Stephanie doing the dragging (it is only told as a past event, but still good even if you don't actually "see it").

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:
As always, there are a few too many incompetents running around, and too many coincidences.

BOTTOM-LINE:
A little darker than usual

DISCLOSURE:
I received no compensation, not even a free copy, in exchange for this review. I am not personal friends with the author, nor do I follow her on social media.

Stephanie is up to her usual shenanigans with two hot men at her beck and call. She finally carries her gun regularly and it is loaded. . . As always, the supporting characters more than pay the price of admission. A solid contribution to the series and makes you want to keep reading.

there were too many sub-plots, and too many secondary characters to make this a fun story. It was choppy.

Love the whole series. Great Laughs. Occupies my time on BART between Daly City and Pleasant Hill.

When asked if she got married in Hawaii, Stephanie replied, 'Not exactly.' When asked to clarify, Stephanie said, 'It's complicated.' Her philosophy, inherited from her family, is that if you do not talk about a problem it might go away. This problem, as we learn, was a doozy.

'18' is a great story with many of the regular characters involved in the Plum series, and all of the staples – men breaking into Steph's apartment, viewing at Stivas, love triangle, goons like Slasher and Lancer, etc. Evanovich also added a little Razzle Dazzle to the story.

Another wonderful addition to the series!! Laughed Out Loud through the whole book!

At some point I'd really like Lula to be good for something rather than her typical worthless attitude and her need to constantly eat. A little character development would be nice.

Vintage Stephanie Plum.

You don't look for a lot of substance with this series; however, there's a lot of laughs!

Who reads this stuff!!! New York Times best selling author!!! Obviously, I did! Picked the book up from the one week read list to fill in inbetween books. I just can't believe that someone can make a living writing such stuff.
