Product Description
The First Full Length Stephanie Plum Between-the-Numbers Novel from #1 Bestselling Author Janet Evanovich. Turn on all the lights and check under your bed. Things are about to get spooky in Trenton, New Jersey. According to legend, the Jersey Devil prowls the Pine Barrens and soars above the treetops in the dark of night. As eerie as this might seem, there are things in the Barrens that are even more frightening and dangerous. And there are monkeys. Lots of monkeys. Wulf Grimoire is a world wanderer and an opportunist who can kill without remorse and disappear like smoke. He’s chosen Martin Munch, boy genius, as his new business partner, and he’s chosen the Barrens as his new playground. Munch received his doctorate degree in quantum physics when he was twenty-two. He’s now twenty-four, and while his brain is large, his body hasn’t made it out of the boys’ department at Macy’s. Anyone who says good things come in small packages hasn’t met Munch. Wulf Grimoire is looking for world domination. Martin Munch would be happy if he could just get a woman naked and tied to a tree. Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum has Munch on her most-wanted list for failure to appear in court. Plum is the all-American girl stuck in an uncomfortable job, succeeding on luck and tenacity. Usually she gets her man. This time she gets a monkey. She also gets a big guy named Diesel. Diesel pops in and out of Plum’s life like birthday cake – delicious to look at and taste, not especially healthy as a steady diet, gone by the end of the week if not sooner. He’s an ueber bounty hunter with special skills when it comes to tracking men and pleasing women. He’s after Grimoire, and now he’s also after Munch. And if truth were told, he wouldn’t mind setting Stephanie Plum in his crosshairs. Diesel and Plum hunt down Munch and Grimoire, following them into the Barrens, surviving cranberry bogs, the Jersey Devil, a hair-raising experience, sand in their underwear, and, of course . . . monkeys.

Redemption January 10, 2009 I can't agree with other reviewers. This was a good Stephanie Plum. I was disappointed in 14, but I enjoyed this one and got some very good laughs. Joe, Ranger and Grandma made it in this "between the numbers" book, and that's a GOOD thing!! It does have silly, nonsense in it. People, this is FICTION, funny fiction!!! Stephanie's life revolves around nutty things happening to her. Diesel is a great caracter and I enjoyed Carl. I hope Ms. Evanovich keeps writing the between books. I am now looking forward to 15!!!!
Just plain ridiculous...... January 9, 2009 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I have been a Stephanie Plum fan from the very beginning. I have often counted down the days until the next book is released. This latest book was a complete and absolute disappointment. The characters were stupid! The plot was stupid! Paying nearly $30 for this book was stupid! In my opinion Ms Evanovich has lost her touch. The once sharply written antics of Stephanie and the gang has turned into immature "bodily function tinged" nonsense. Count the number of times the word "fart" appears in this book and I'll bet it is far more than the word Ranger or Morelli. From now on I think I'll wait and pick up future installments in this series at the used book store!
Another fun book from Evanovich! January 9, 2009 0 out of 5 found this review helpful
This one had me laughing from the first page. The between the numbers books usually have some magical element to them and Diesel is back in Stephanie's life with some paranormal mischief in the form of a vampire(?). Bob the dog doesn't really make an appearance here, but you do get Carl the Monkey. Idon't think you will be disappointed in this one.
What book did the rest of you read? January 9, 2009 0 out of 5 found this review helpful
I don't know what book the rest of you read, but I found this to be her best 'in-betweener'. That's what this is; an in between the numbers novel; not the regular Stephanie Plum novel. I actually developed a liking for Diesel in this book as well as Carl the monkey who wore on my nerves in the numbered book. This is just fun fantasy folks, not 'The Grapes of Wrath'. I wish all you people who keep stating you're disappointed in all the latest Plum books would just quit reading them then and find something else. If you think it will be a waste of money to buy them, get on the waiting list at your library when the next ones come out. Get a life people. This was a fun ride and I laughed out loud!
Longing for the original Stephanie and great writing January 9, 2009 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought it, I read it, I wish I hadn't read it. It makes me sad and longing for the earlier Plum books. I loved those books. Where JE has taken this book is in to the silly, childish type of humor area. Farting and monkeys repeatedly do not make me laugh. Stephanie getting in trouble and having Ranger and Morelli in the mix are what I want. If you like Diesel and the "unmentionable" theme, then you might like this book. Personally, I am just saddened as I used to re-read these novels but have not enjoyed 13, 14 or plum spooky. Hopefully, JE will go back to what she had when she began the series or if not at least develop the characters and let Stephanie start making some decisions so that if JE is only going to write to #16, we can start getting some closure.
