Personally, I would much rather she was with Ranger than Joe Morelli .....  actually, I would rather that I was with Ranger, rather than Stephanie!    LOL

Well, I finished the book yesterday.  It was ok.  I probably won't give up on the series, but I won't buy them for my kindle in the future.  I read many series because Iike on-going themes, settings, and characters.  I just wish these characters would grow. 

Now I am reading The Sleeping Beauty Killer by Mary Higgins Clark.  It is the new book in her Under Suspicion series.  It is very good so far.

Not even remotely interested in the Plum series anymore. It does nothing at this point. I used to buy them. Then I stopped that and simply got them from the library. Then I started to get them as ebooks from the library. 

After the last one, I said enough was enough. I'm done.

Somebody mentioned the Joanne Fluke series with Hannah Swenson; I gave up on that series, too. I don't know; after a while, they got boring.

I think what's contributed to Janet's shift from the Stephanie Plum series are the novels she has co-authored with Lee Goldberg the past few years.   

Has anyone read any of them?   The Scam and The Heist come to mind, but I know there are others.   Anyone?

They are awful.  I have not finished the last one and barely the one before that so I will pass them by from now on.  Each one as gotten worse than the one before and I wonder how much time she actually devotes to the collaboration.   It was so disappointing.  I love Janet.  Granted the Plum series is not as good as the beginning but usually something fresh and new is but not with Goldberg books.

@Tinkrbl44  Tink I like the below collaberation better that she does with Phoef Sutton.

Wicked Charms: A Lizzy and Diesel Novel (Lizzy & Diesel Book 3)

A few posters mentioned they thought Janet was "phoning it in" with her writing.     Now that I think about it, perhaps that's exactly what she's been doing.    I remember reading a while back that some appearances were cancelled after her son was diagnosed with cancer.   Hope he's okay.

Just got it from the library today and am looking forward to reading it.  Even though her books can be disappointing - same old, same old - I still have to read them because I just love some of the characters, i.e. Ranger, Grandma, Stephanie.

I just read this and was a little disappointed.

OH, me, too. I am just finishing it and I can't wait. It was lacking but I don't know what in! It just didn't have that ring a ding flavor as they say. It was placid for me, to say the least. I believe I've finally outgrown them.
