Well this is a change. I honestly don't know why I'm still reading these books, except the numbers in the titles are good for challenges, but this one was pretty enjoyable. Evanovich toned down Grandma Mazur about eleventy-billion percent, which was nice. Lulu wasn't quite as annoyingly repetitive about everything as usual. Everyone was else was kept to a bare minimum and replaced by a giraffe (which I approve of, I think she should replace Stephanie with a giraffe, that would be good writing). The heroine herself was as stupid and annoying and ridiculous as ever, but things can't be perfect. And I can always dream that someday she'll be in the car when it is blown up, or flattened or set on fire. Hope springs eternal.
