Summary
Recipe for disaster: Celebrity chef Stanley Chipotle comes to Trenton to participate in a barbecue cook-off and loses his head - literally. Throw in some spice: Bail bonds office worker Lula is witness to the crime, and the only one she'll talk to is Trenton cop, Joe Morelli. Pump up the heat: Chipotle's sponsor is offering a million-dollar reward to anyone who can provide information leading to the capture of the killers. Stir the pot: Lula recruits bounty hunter Stephanie Plum to help her find the killers and collect the moolah. Add a secret ingredient: Stephanie's Grandma Mazur. Enough said. Bring to a boil: Can Stephanie hunt down two killers, a traitor, five skips, keep her grandmother out of the sauce, solve Ranger's problems and not jump his bones? Warning: Habanero hot. So good you'll want seconds.
In 'Finger Lickin' Fifteen', Evanovich delivers her signature humor, but falls short in terms of the gripping mystery that usually keeps readers on edge. The lack of sexual tension, with Morelli being mostly absent and Ranger being kept at a distance, leaves no room for any potential romance, resulting in a letdown. The book heavily relies on cliches from previous installments, failing to introduce fresh elements that propel the series forward.
I've gone through all the Stephanie Plum books and this one didn't quite hit the mark for me. It didn't have the same level of humor as her earlier books. However, I wouldn't dissuade you from checking out her other works - Four to Score is a personal favorite of mine.
I was under the impression that 'Finger Lickin' Fifteen' would be an enjoyable, lighthearted book to read during the summer. However, I didn't manage to proceed beyond chapter 5. The narrator played a significant role in my dissatisfaction with the audiobook as her portrayal of the different characters was abysmal. Their voices were poorly done, resembling exaggerated caricatures. The subpar writing and clichéd dialogue further added to my disappointment. It really irks me that I spent $15.00 on this audiobook. Needless to say, it was a massive letdown.
