Book Description SAVE THE DATE: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 EVENT: The next Stephanie Plum novel, in which complications arise, loyalties are tested, cliffhangers are resolved, and donuts are eaten. WHERE: Wherever books are sold across America WHAT TO BRING: Sunglasses, insect repellant, a flotation device, suntan lotion, cheez-doodles, extra-large towel, fire extinguisher, baseball bat, lip balm, monkey leash, sixty three pieces of chewing gum, and one canister of oxygen (don’t ask). Hey, it’s a Stephanie Plum novel! Janet Evanovich and Michael Connelly: Author One-to-One In this Amazon exclusive, we brought together blockbuster authors Janet Evanovich and Michael Connelly and asked them to interview each other. Find out what two of the top authors of their genres have to say about their characters, writing process, and more. Michael Connelly is the bestselling author of the Harry Bosch series of novels as well as The Poet, Blood Work, Void Moon, Chasing the Dime, and the #1 New York Times bestseller The Lincoln Lawyer. He is a former newspaper reporter who has won numerous awards for his journalism and his novels. Read on to see Michael Connelly's questions for Janet Evanovich, or turn the tables to see what Evanovich asked Connelly. Connelly: Let's get the business out of the way. What's Finger Lickin' Fifteen, the new Stephanie Plum novel, all about and what brought you to the story? Evanovich: I wanted to do a book that featured Stephanie's wheelman, Lula. Lula is one of my favorite characters because she's pulled herself up from hard times and now is just more of everything. Fifteen opens with Lula witnessing a crime, and it all gets complicated after that. We're talking about barbecue gone bad, cross-dressing firemen, dancing hot dogs, etc. Connelly: You strike me as an author who is involved in every aspect of the publishing of her work. But the output--at least two solid novels a year--suggests otherwise, that you delegate all over the place so that you can focus on writing high-quality stuff. So which is it? (And if your answer is that you do indeed delegate, how the heck do you learn to do that?) Evanovich: You reach a point in your career where the business side threatens to eclipse writing time and you either delegate or power back. I delegate everything but the writing. My daughter and her staff manage the website, the fan mail, the book tour, the author publicity and marketing. My son is my agent and finance officer and chief problem solver. When no one else can solve the problem it gets dumped on my son's desk! I oversee all aspects, but I've had to learn not to micro-manage. Connelly: We have an author friend in common-- Robert Crais--who has steadfastly refused to sell or option his series character Elvis Cole to Hollywood. On the other hand, I've flogged Harry Bosch up and down the studio strip. (Interestingly enough, to the same effect--no movies made!) Where do you stand with Stephanie and will we ever see her on the big or small screen? Evanovich: Jeez Louise, I wish I knew the answer to this one. TriStar owns the Plum franchise with Wendy Finerman attached as producer, and Wendy has been trying to get this sucker off the ground for fifteen years. Probably somewhere in the vicinity of three million people read each of my Plum books, but for whatever reason, TriStar has yet to greenlight the project. Connelly: Speaking of that L.A. business, do you remember when we first met? Since you conveniently put numbers in your titles, it is easy for me to remember that it was fourteen years ago in L.A. I bet you don't remember the name of the restaurant, which sadly is no longer there. But, luckily, we're still here and my memory of that lunch is important to me because at the time we had probably sold a hundred books between us (not counting romance novels). Evanovich: What I remember is that what I consider to be my graduating class (you, Crais, and Jan Burke) would get together at all the mystery conferences, and you would be our fearless leader! Connelly: Did you know that in my most recent novel a very bad man plans to use a Janet Evanovich novel to get close to an unsuspecting, potential victim? It's scary stuff--the plan, not the Evanovich novel. Have you reached a stage where your work is part of the terrain and gets these sorts of little nods here and there? Evanovich: Every now and then my name or one of my character names pops up and it's usually in the work of a friend. I think it's fun and I always reciprocate...so live in fear.

From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Evanovich recycles tired themes better executed in earlier adventures in her latest Stephanie Plum adventure (Fearless Fourteen, etc.). When Lula inadvertently witnesses the beheading of culinary TV star Stanley Chipotle in a Trenton, N.J., alley, Stephanie's on-again off-again boyfriend, cop Joe Morelli, reluctantly takes the case. Lula, with the help of Grandma Mazur, enters the same barbequing competition Chipotle was in town to promote, hoping to lure the murderers out of hiding. Meanwhile, Ranger has recruited Stephanie to help solve a series of break-ins at properties under the protection of Rangeman Security. The inevitable sparks fly between Stephanie and Ranger, with Morelli grumbling on the sidelines. Evanovich dishes up her usual mixture of shoot-'em-up action (numerous cars explode) and quirky characters (notably a neighborhood flasher with a devoted following), but the lackluster plot will disappoint fans.

Eleven on Top felt a little different to me than the other Stephanie Plum books so far. Yes, Stephanie is stuck in the Ranger/Joe triangle and yes, she still has more than a few issues in her life and yes, she still hates guns. It actually felt to me like the character was growing somewhat.She quit her bounty hunter job and was fired from not one, but two new jobs and burnt down the third. OK, so she didn't actually do the burning (but then again, how many times did she actually do the burning and exploding in her career?) but you get my drift.She is getting threats from an unknown source and though she bumbles her way in the bounty hunter business she has a great sense of intuition. Unfortunately the law requires evidence, not hunches. So, Stephanie accepts a research job with Rangeman. This will keep her somewhat safe and will give her the resources needed to find the culprit(s) responsible for her newest threat.I had the feeling that her character was actually being somewhat responsible even if she still has the immature tendencies to fight Joe tooth and nail when he's trying to protect her. I must say though that sometimes I can't blame her. Joe doesn't ask or suggest, he tells and almost bullies and then Stephanie reacts. Now most of us would probably tell him he' being a neanderthal and really needs to change his tactics (though something tells me he wouldn't pay much attention), but that would take the fun out of the story, right?I've seen some reviews that read they don't like the Joe/Stephanie/Ranger triangle (though she's going to have to choose sooner or later, she isn't getting any younger), or that Stephanie hasn't gotten much better at her bounty hunter job. However, the Stephanie Plum books are not meant to be deep, intellectual mystery thrillers. They are purely entertainment. Taken in that context, I find they are great reads and I can't help but to enjoy them. The plot in each book are unique enough to keep me from becoming bored.
I have read all the Stephanie Plums in order up through this one (15). I think this is the funniest I have read to date. I promise you, I would never loan Stephanie my car. In this Ranger finds out the hard way as she goes to work part time for Rangeman Security and Ranger helps her catch up on her skips. Lula sees a famous TV chef get beheaded on the street and spends the book trying to avoid being killed by the culprits. Plus Lula is trying to win a bar-be-que grill off which pays big money and is tied into the murder. Rangerman clients are being burglarized by someone who knows the security pad codes and employees are being scrutinized to see if it is an in house breach, opening the job opportunity for Stephanie to help. Just the funniest book I have read in a long time.
Actually, I give it 4-1/2 stars, because, the main character's schtick of being such a klutz with every bounty apprehension; this has gotten stale as a way to be humorous. After a couple of years of bounty work, the author should have acknowledged that this character would have flawless apprehension techniques. But each book, 1 through 11, continues to be fun entertaining murder mysteries, that get solved in a variety of ways. I plan to read all of the books in this series, including #24 out this fall (2017).
Okay, it's not great literature, but I never tire of Stephanie Plum's hilarious escapades. # 15 ranks high on the list of outrageous adventures. This time everything's bursting into flames. Stephanie manages to torch Ranger's Porsche Cayenne not once but twice, get doused with red paint, her apartment is firebombed, Lula's Firebird explodes, and barbeque sauce seems to rain from heaven throughout the book. Lula organizes a team for a barbecue contest after she witnesses the decapitation of a famous chef. She's determined to win the cook-off prize, but the various concoctions she creates do more internal damage than palate pleasing.Although currently off men after a break-up with Morelli, the long-running battle for Stephanie's heart continues. Who will she choose, Morelli or Ranger? By book 15, it appears that Morelli is gaining ground. Lots of sexual tension, without anything really gross. I appreciate that.Evanovich's work walks the tightrope between bawdy and innocent prose, and sometimes the humor seems a bit sophomoric. Still, she manages to keep everything fun. I would recommend this book.
The Stephanie Plum series is my favorite. I love her! Stephanie gives up being a bounty hunter in this book, thinking life would be much simpler. She's tired of the bad guys. A ghost from the past has other ideas. Ranger to the rescue in more ways than one! 😎This is the book where the relationship between Stephanie and Ranger deepens. The growth between these two characters is amazing. Ranger starts to open up about his life and his feelings for Stephanie.
Stephanie Plum the bounty hunter has been stalked by crazed killers, taunted by naked men, firebombed, shot at, cussed at, chased by humping dogs, rolled in garbage and dog diarrhea not to mention she now has an unidentifiable glob of goo in her hair after apprehending Melon-head Sporky. This was the last straw for her, it is time to quit being a bounty hunter and get a regular job. She is hired at the button factory only to be fired her first day. The second job is at Kan Klean dry cleaners it too only lasts a couple of days before Mama Macaroni is blown up trying to leave in Stephanies Car. Then she gets a job a fast-food chicken place it goes up in flames after a possible stalker by the name of Spiro Stiva hands her a package that could be a bomb. Four regular guys leave on the same day and end up missing. How is all this connected with her stalker? Greatstory, lots of laughs.
