Fearless Fourteen
"If you’re a fan, you’ll love it. If you’re not yet, you soon will be!"
Synopsis:
Armed robbery to the tune of nine million dollars. Dom Rizzi robbed a bank, stashed the money and did the time. His family couldn't be more proud. He always was the smart one.
Joe Morelli, Dom Rizzi and Dom's sister Loretta are cousins. Morelli is a cop, Rizzi robs banks, and Loretta is a single mother waiting tables at the firehouse. The all American family.
Less than a week after Dom's release from prison, Joe Morelli has shadowy figures breaking into his house and dying in his basement. He's getting threatening messages, Loretta is kidnapped, and Dom is missing.
Morelli hires Walter "Mooner" Dunphy, stoner and "inventor" turned crime-fighter to protect his house. Morelli can't afford a lot on a cop's salary, and Mooner will work for potatoes.
Stephanie and Morelli have a long-standing relationship that involves sex, affection and driving each other nuts. She's a bond enforcement agent with more luck than talent, and she's involved in this bank-robbery-gone-bad disaster from day one.
Security expert Carlos Manoso - street name Ranger - has a job for Stephanie that will involve night-work. Morelli has his own ideas regarding Stephanie's evening activities.

Review:
This is yet another stunning hit featuring Evanovich's 'heroine', Stephanie Plum. I guarantee you'll finish before you even realise it - the books are so easy to read and simply impossible to put down. Stephanie has got herself into another situation, which, in Trenton, seems to be commonplace. Nobody raises an eyebrow when anything peculiar happens, which makes the story even more amusing. All the characters react to the events as if they are quite normal - the police don't expect anything else - except for Plum to discover yet another body. All the larger-than-life characters still appear with the addition of a few new ones in each novel. Rex is, surprisingly, still there. And Grandma Mazur is still causing havoc, though unfortunately she is not featured much in Fearless Fourteen. Though you can guarantee when she does it is always a comic moment. If you're a fan, you'll love it. If you're not yet, you soon will be! Roll of book fifteen!
