Well, the title was right, this book certainly was lean. Lean as in not much to sink your teeth into. I really feel that Janet Evanovich has lost all of her steam with this series and is just putting books out there for the money. The story was thin, and the characters have not moved forward at all. If anything, they've moved back. I'm really
disappointed in what she's done with the Stephanie/ Ranger/ Morelli triangle. Both men are now in a pissing contest over her and Stephanie is completely oblivious. Neither Ranger nor Morelli seems to care that the other one is trying to get her, yet I'm supposed to believe that they both care for her deeply. What had first been playful and fun to read (maybe in the first 8 of the series) is now just played out, boring, and totally unrealistic.The only saving grace is that Grandma Mazur got another boyfriend for this book and he was a hoot. I'm now more interested in the side characters than I am in the main storyline. Oh, and a la Kramer on Seinfeld, you finally find out Tank's real first name.
I definitely will not be buying the next one when it comes out in hardcover. Janet Evanovich has just been downgraded to the Amazon special (used books for a penny).
