Book Review: Plum Spooky by Janet Evanovich Audio Book

February 25, 2010 by Darlene


Plum Spooky by Janet Evanovich was just downright hilarious! I never tire of these books. I know some are but I still get a huge kick out of them and read them purely for entertainment value. That is exactly what I got while listening to Plum Spooky earlier this week and it was just what I needed! I won this audio book ages ago from my good friend Serena over at Savvy Verse & Wit and just got around to listening to it.

In Plum Spooky, Stephanie is after a dude named Munch and as usual ends up getting in a whole mess of trouble while trying to apprehend one criminal. To top things off she ends up babysitting a monkey and comes home to find Diesel in her apartment. I love Diesel and really like when he shows up in one of the books. He’s after his cousin Wulf who is a crazy man and of course Stephanie manages to get herself into a mess regarding him too since Munch has gone into a partnership with him in the hopes of running the world. Munch just wants to get girls, Stephanie being his first he hopes.

This is definitely one of the more unusual Plum books and mostly in the world of ‘wacko’ but if you take it for what it is, you have fun with it. Grandma Mazur makes an appearance and that never fails to get a laugh out of me – she is just too funny. Lulu is as nuts as ever and freaking out over everything. I did miss having more of Morelli and Ranger in the mix but I do like Diesel and the weird things he can do.

All in all I really enjoyed listening to this. I wouldn’t want to read these books but I love listening to them. I started out listening to the regular series as well and that’s how I got hooked. I really enjoy the narrator, Lorelei King, who reads the Stephanie series. She has awesome voices for everyone and just does a terrific job!

    I love the Stephanice Plum number series and haven't read/listened to this seperate series. It sounds like fun and I agree that her books are pure entertainment.

    I think they are great fun but i always get mixed up as to where the plum books fall in between the number books.
    And so many of the audio i run across anyway, is abridged and i wish it was the whole book!

    I still enjoy the "numbers" books but haven't tried the between the numbers series. It sounds like I need to give them a try.

    This one does sound like fun! I admit, I've slowed down on the series–haven't read past 7 or so, but maybe it's time to pick it back up. I don't even know who Diesel is!!!

    I've read all of these books in hard copy, but I can only imagine how amazing these are in audio. The audio in my head is hilarious! I think I love the side characters more than even Stephanie. They are good for what ails you!

    My mom is a huge fan of these books, but I don't think she has read this one yet. I will have to point her towards this review! Thanks!

    Darlene, glad to hear Plum Spooky was hilarious! I bought this book but haven't read it yet. I'm originally from NJ so I thought it would be fun to read. Thanks for your review!

    I have read her Alex Barnaby books on audio and loved the narrator. I have been wanting to read her numbers series, but my library doesn't have the first one yet, so I am waiting.

    I've only read the number series and none of the odd/ends books. I wouldn't mind listening to it on audio..sounds like a fun way to spend time in the car!

    I think I've read a Stephanie Plum book a few years ago and I remember that I enjoyed it:)

    I'm so glad that you finally had a chance to listen to this one. I loved the wacko world feel of this one. Hilarious. I was laughing the whole time. Mazur and Diesel are just fun!
