Initial Impressions 6/19/16: Okay, the ending though! That better not go to hell in the next book because YAASSSS. 
 This one was a lot of fun! I like how the books are getting back to more story and mystery instead of just being silly and just plain goofy. TRICKY TWENTY-TWO focused a lot more on the mystery and detective work along with bounty hunting (naturally) and the stories connect (as usual but this one was great fit). I also like how Stephanie had her own story developing and Morelli had his own. I really enjoyed the resolution of the Morelli story too! I think it added a little more realism to the book instead of the usual zany antics. 
 I hope the next book continues in this fashion! This one was really getting back to the roots of the series. 
 Review as originally posted HERE on The Book Addict's Guide 7/13/16: I am loving that the Stephanie Plum books are coming back around to being actual stories that I care about and not just throw-away, silly novels. TRICKY TWENTY-TWO actually had the characters addressing serious issues. We hear talk of marriage and serious commitments, and not in just the silly way of how the characters are usually afraid of commitment or Stephanie's caught up between Morelli and Ranger. I loved that things got a little deeper and the characters became more real again and not just caricatures of themselves. 
 The plot was better too! Less crazy, wild animals and more actual cases, bringing that sense of mystery back to the book and not just a silly thriller aspect. I do love these books -- they're fun, familiar, and the audios are SO quick. I'm really glad that they're coming back around and keep me excited for more! For a while I was starting to grow tired of them (not like I'd quit them!) but I'm really happy that I'm getting that faith back in the series. 
 AUDIOBOOK IMPRESSIONS | As usual, Lorelai King was a lot of fun! I think she's really good at all of the different voices (and there are a LOT of distinct ones) and she really brings these books to life. I don't think I've read Stephanie Plum book in print for maybe ten books (or more!) because they're just so much fun on audio and somehow they go by so quickly!!
