Explosive Eighteen
Explosive Eighteen: A Stephanie Plum Novel | Janet Evanovich
17 posts | 105 read | 13 to read
Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum's life is set to blow sky high when international murder hits dangerously close to home, in this dynamite novel by Janet Evanovich. Before Stephanie can even step foot off Flight 127 Hawaii to Newark, she's knee deep in trouble. Her dream vacation turned into a nightmare, and she's flying back to New Jersey solo. Worse still, her seatmate never returned to the plane after the L.A. layover. Now he's dead--and a ragtag collection of thugs and psychos, not to mention the FBI, are all looking for a photograph he was supposed to be carrying. Only one person has seen the missing photo: Stephanie Plum. Now she's the target. An FBI sketch artist helps Stephanie re-create the person in the photo, but Stephanie's descriptive skills are lacking. Until she can improve them, she'll need to watch her back. Over at the bail bonds agency things are going from bad to worse. Vinnie's temporary HQ has gone up in smoke. Stephanie's wheelman, Lula, falls for their largest skip yet. Lifetime arch nemesis Joyce Barnhardt moves into Stephanie's apartment. And everyone wants to know what happened in Hawaii? Morelli, Trenton's hottest cop, isn't talking about Hawaii. Ranger, the man of mystery, isn't talking about Hawaii. And all Stephanie is willing to say about her Hawaiian vacation is . . . It's complicated.

Pretty boring series at this point. I wish S. Plum actually grew as a character.

I had forgotten how much fun these books are!! Such a wonderful pick, it‘s doing miracles for my book slump!

LeeRHarry I often use these as inbetweeners when I‘m reading heavier stuff - highly enjoyable! 😊 7y
Elisa @LeeRHarry Yes, they make for a great palate cleanser!! (edited) 7y

More bookshelf reassembly going on this afternoon. Here is the upstairs romance and mystery shelves. It‘s fun working out the best way to put it all together.

Classic Janet Evanovich. I read this out of order but still enjoy it. My friend calls these "popcorn books" books to enjoy that are easy and fast between other deep books. I agree. That's not a put-down, Janet. It's one of those reads that gives your mind a break and still takes you on a trip to the classic streets of Trenton, NJ and the local badass, Stephanie we all want to love anyways.

Haha 😂😂

Bookish_Predator I think I need to have a re-read of this series very soon! I love it so much, shame the film wasn't the best 😕 8y
JeaMar82 @Bookish_Predator This is my first time reading the series. I love it. I saw the movie and it was okay but the books are definitely much better. 8y
Bookish_Predator The books are definitely better, they're quick and fun reads. I always imagined Sandra Bullock as Stephanie, Queen Latifa as Lula, Betty White as Grandma Mazur and Dwayne Johnson as Ranger, that's a film I would 💯% watch!! (edited) 8y

JeaMar82 @Bookish_Predator Oh my gosh! That would be a great cast! 😂 8y
Bookish_Predator I know right!? 😂 8y
JeaMar82 @Bookish_Predator I would definitely watch that. I could definitely see Betty White playing a great Grandma Mazur. 😂 8y
Bookish_Predator @JeanMarieMartin she would be soooooo good in that role, she has the natural humour that makes anything she says funny 😂 8y

I loved the mystery at the beginning of the book. And Lula is just hilarious to me. The woman is so susceptible. Another hilarious ride.

My husband is a morning person. And I am not. At night, I read in bed while he sleeps beside me. And sometimes in the morning while he showers. Life is better for both of us with ebooks! #readinginbed #photoadaynov16

RealLifeReading Heh that's the opposite for me and my husband. I'm the morning person so sometimes when I'm up before him on the weekend I'll read e-books 8y

Waiting for a kid at the dentist. At 8am. 8am on a Saturday! How insane is that? And I forgot my book. Luckily, I overdrive on my phone, with a loaded library book, for emergencies just like this.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Joyce gets her apartment? 😐 I have no memory of that! 8y
MaleficentBookDragon I'm always prepared for a #bookemergency too. 8y

Mehso-so

I really love the characters in this series - and the humour is top-notch. I just wish the series would try something different and be a bit less repetitive. I know it works but 18 books in something new would be great.
