David Caldwell's Reviews > Look Alive Twenty-Five

Stephanie Plum and her friends are back. This time Stephanie and Lula are put in charge of running a deli that the bond office ends up owning. It should be easy enough since all they are supposed to do is make sure everything is running like normal. But nothing is ever that easy with Stephanie and Lula. It seems several of the previous managers have disappeared, with just one shoe being left behind with each disappearance. It also doesn't help that Stephanie and Lula don't have a clue about running a deli. Much hilarity and suspense will be sure to be served up before everything is over.

This is one of the strongest entries in the Stephanie Plum series recently. The humor is quick and balances well with the solid mystery and the romantic tangle that is Stephanie's love life. Stephanie and Lula even manage to do a couple of things right this time around. Nice to see such a strong entry in a long running series.
