Tricky Twenty-Two (Stephanie Plum #22)

Janet Evanovich

Fiction - Mystery

305 Pages

     So here we are again, Trenton, New Jersey. Stephanie and Morelli have broken up. Again. Stephanie is chasing down a fugitive. Again. Stephanie gets a car blown up. Twice. Predictable? Absolutely. 

     So in this book, Stephanie is looking for FTA Ken Globovic, a college student at Kiltman who was arrested for beating the dean of students with a baseball bat. As it turns out, that didn't really happen. Professor Pooka, a psychologically disturbed, "power wielding," biology professor is making "Black Plague infected" fireworks to shoot off over the students at Homecoming. (Or something like that.) When people start getting too curious, they're shot. Of course, being a Stephanie Plum novel, Stephanie is kidnapped by the psychotic Professor Pooka. She is supposedly injected with the plague and is supposedly providing blood for the fleas that are "carrying" the plague.
     The story isn't really action packed, it's an easy read, and as I said many times before, completely predictable. The only thing that was a great twist in this book was that Stephanie's mom, who is completely against Stephanie being a bounty hunter, takes Pooka down. She's beating the crap out of him for kidnapping Stephanie, for supposedly giving her the plague, and just because of the adrenaline. Other than that, it was once again, a three from me. Joe did ask Stephanie to marry him at the end, but I didn't find it sincere, so I'm on hold for Turbo Twenty-Three on my E-Library to see what's actually going to happen.
