FINGER LICKIN' FIFTEEN

Title: Finger Lickin' Fifteen
Author: Janet Evanovich
Jan's Rating: 10

This has to be Evanovich's best Stephanie Plum book yet. The last two were kind of slow but this one kept you reading and laughing all the way through. Celebrity Chef Stanley Chipotle comes to town for a BBQ cookoff and is murdered. Lula witnesses the murder so the killers are after her all through the book, which is funny in itself. Lula and Grandma Mazur decide to learn how to make BBQ sauce and join the cookoff, hoping to help catch the killers. Stephanie spends half her time helping Lula and Grandma (which is one disaster after another) and helping Ranger find out who is breaking into homes that have his security system. My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed this one!

If you are the "faint of heart" type of person, then this book is not for you. It kept me on the edge of my seat all through the book. It usually takes me 2 weeks to read a book but I finished this one in one week. Beautiful model Kim McDaniels is on a shoot in Hawaii when her parents receive a phone call saying that a bad man had taken their daughter. They leave their home in Michigan and fly to Hawaii as soon as they can book seats on the next flight. The book takes you from one scarey moment to the next while you chew your nails away. I am definitely ready for a Janet Evanovich book now!
