In the fourteenth book in the series, the stakes are raised even higher as Stephanie Plum finds herself in her most dangerous, hilarious, hottest, chase yet. With her loveably offbeat family along for the ride (as well as a few new faces), it's clear to see why the Plum novels are called "Hot Stuff" by the New York Times and why Evanovich herself is called "the master."

Should have been called FOURTEEN GREEN as this was recycled from earlier books
10 July 2008
By Juliette
Format:Hardcover
The Plum series is a victim of its own success and I know it must be hard for an author to come up with something new whilst satisfying her readers with the zany situations and clever dialogue that have made Stephanie Plum so successful. That's why smart authors stop when they are on top, but Janet Evanovich has her whole family employed by Evanovich Inc, so I guess she has to keep churning out these books even if they aren't very good any more.
The editing in the latest Plum books is pitiful, and, while recycling might be good for the planet, with novels it should be restricted to the paper and not the plot and dialogue. Janet Evanovich is contracted through to Book No 16, so I hope 15 and 16 will be a substantial improvement on 14.
Fearless Fourteen is not a terrible book, but it is definitely no better than okay. There are some laughs, but it relies too much on old lines and situations which we've heard again and again. Everyone has become silly caricatures.
This book has a plot with totally ridiculous situations, but I'm used to that with the Plum series. I suspend belief and just go with the flow, enjoying Stephanie et al using clever devices and sheer luck to triumph, but it is very contrived this time. In 14 there's a bank robbery, missing millions, kidnapping, search for the millions by the ex-con and others, but the ending was very poor and I felt cheated. It was wrapped up in such a stupid way that if I hadn't borrowed the book from the library, I would have thrown it into the rubbish bin on the train in total disgust.
Stephanie is becoming more self centred, rude and much more difficult to like and Morellie was a total wuss which was so disappoiting.
Instead of reading Fearless Fourteen, try the Mojo Sheepshank books by Linda Lael Miller - Deadly Gamble and Deadly Deceptions. Both excellent books.

I thought I'd give this book a try. Hmmm. It's always a bad sign when you read a `comic' book without laughing once. It's even worse when you can see where it was intended to be funny, and just wasn't. I believe the point of the books is to combine wit with a pacy storyline. Sadly, no sign of one of those, either. The whole thing stutters forward, in the same way that a drunk will often move forwards for a while. It has no direction, or drama, or real purpose.
It seems to be to be neither one thing nor the other. I see from other reviews that previous Stephanie Plum books were better. Maybe so, but that's a bit like being the smartest bloke in Westlife, isn't it? It's an achievement, but not much of one.
Sadly, I won't be trying another Evanovich. If you want a genuinely funny thriller, try Carl Hiaasen.

I wish I had read the other reviews before buying this awful book I would have saved myself some money. I have all up to 14 in the series and really enjoyed reading then, that is up to number 14 which should be called Flopping 14. I was on page 138 and was still waiting for the action to begin, sadly even at the end there was nothing remarkable at all- nothing. I want a refund! I will stop at this number and try to remember the good ones and block out this luke- warm attempt at writing. I do not even think J.E: wrote it herself, it is like a high school student's work.How did this pass the editors and get published?

Not disappointed
I thought by the time I got to no. 14 in the Stephanie Plum series it would be same old, same old. And whilst to some degree it is, with some ridiculous moments, it still had me... Read more

Stephanie Plum at her usual best. Grandma, Lola ,Joe, Ranger et al all combine in the usual hilarious soup that is Janet Evanovitch's imagination on paper. I love these books. Read more
