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 über 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.

Lots of laughs!,
By
This review is from: Plum Spooky (Hardcover)
Plum Spooky is one of the Between-the-Numbers Novels in the Stephanie Plum series, and falls in between books 14 and 15 in the series. I have to admit that while I generally prefer the regular books in the series to the Between the Numbers novels, that was not the case with Plum Spooky. I absolutely loved this book!Like all the Stephanie Plum adventures, Plum Spooky is filled with hilarious antics, I laughed SO much that I couldn't help but love it. Many of the laughs came from a new "character" - Carl the monkey. Lula is especially funny as she battles what she believes to be a cold, and we get to meet Morelli's brother who manages to supply plenty of laughs as well. Diesel is incredibly charming, and of course we have a few visits with Steph's smokin' hot crime-fighting men - Morelli and Ranger. And as always, there's lots of action, even more explosions than we've come to expect, and of course a few vehicles that don't survive to see the end of the story. I'd imagine you can probably skip all the Between the Numbers books and still be able to follow along with the series, but there are some character developments in Plum Spooky that will affect the other books. Plum Spooky is a fairly short book and with all the laughs and action, I didn't want to put it down. Not quite so spooky as I was hoping, but all the laughs more than make up for that. The only bad part of the book is that Carl's owner comes to pick him up at the end, so I'm assuming we won't get to see much more of him. Bummer. I highly recommend Plum Spooky to all Stephanie Plum and Janet Evanovich fans, and I even believe it's an enjoyable enough read that those who don't follow the series would still find it entertaining.

Another great one,
By Book Worm (Moncton, NB Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Plum Spooky (Hardcover)
The between the numbers books, although they've taken a very strange twist, are a great series of books. They're not stand alone, i'd definately say you'd have to have read the plum series to understand the plot but they do introduce some completely new characters and have a different feel to them. All in all i enjoyed them a lot.
