      Plum Spooky is one of the Between-the-Numbers Novels in the Stephanie Plum series, and falls in between books 14 and 15 in the series. I have to admit that while I generally prefer the regular books in the series to the Between the Numbers novels, that was not the case with Plum Spooky. I absolutely loved this book!Like all the Stephanie Plum adventures, Plum Spooky is filled with hilarious antics, I laughed SO much that I couldn’t help but love it. Many of the laughs came from a new “character” – Carl the monkey (who you may remember from the most recent QotW). Lula is especially funny as she battles what she believes to be a cold, and we get to meet Morelli’s brother who manages to supply plenty of laughs as well. Diesel is incredibly charming, and of course we have a few visits with Steph’s smokin’ hot crime-fighting men – Morelli and Ranger. And as always, there’s lots of action, even more explosions than we’ve come to expect, and of course a few vehicles that don’t survive to see the end of the story.I’d imagine you can probably skip all the Between the Numbers books and still be able to follow along with the series, but there are some character developments in Plum Spooky that will affect the other books.Plum Spooky is a fairly short book and with all the laughs and action, I didn’t want to put it down. Not quite so spooky as I was hoping, but all the laughs more than make up for that. The only bad part of the book is that Carl’s owner comes to pick him up at the end, so I’m assuming we won’t get to see much more of him. Bummer.I highly recommend Plum Spooky to all Stephanie Plum and Janet Evanovich fans, and I even believe it’s an enjoyable enough read that those who don’t follow the series would still find it entertaining.
    • 5/5
      The entire series is awesome - thrilled to find a few I hadn’t read. Would like more on form of a movie! That was such a find…love to see all the characters develop and interact !!!!!!
    • 4/5
      I really liked this book. I've enjoyed the Stephanie Plum series since it started and this book was no different. I enjoy the relationship between Stephanie, Ranger, Diesel and Morelli. Janet Evanovich has a sense of humor that can't be beat. It's an enjoyable book that I probably could have devoured within mere hours. This particular book has Diesel and Stephanie teaming up to track down a really bad guy named Wulf and a bumbling scientist gone bad named Munch. There is a monkey named Carl who is a highlight of the book. He's definitely comic relief. Lula and Tank's relationship finally reaches it conclusion in a way that I never guessed would happen. I don't know that it was all that believable but the between the number books aren't meant to be that way I guess. All in all I really enjoyed this book. It was a great story and a lot of fun.
    • 4/5
      This entry in the Stephanie Plum series features the capable female bounty hunter looking for several people, one of them a mad scientist type named Martin Munch, who's willing to trade the diabolical Wulf Grimoire the secret to world domination in exchange for women and money, starting with Stephanie. Her account humoir-filled of the chase gets her and sidekick Dutch into many serious debacles as it leads them deep into the Pine Barrens where the Jersey Devil allegedly dwells. Great reading, lots of fun.
    • 4/5
      Another fun book in the Stephanie Plum world. Diesel is back, and in this story we get introduced to Carl the monkey. Readers of the Lizzy and Diesel series know that Carl the monkey also appears in those books.

      Like the other books that feature Diesel, this book has a mild supernatural element to it. If you don't like this, then you should just stick with the Stephanie Plum numbers series. I think it adds another level of absurdity to the story, and I enjoy it. I read these books because they are fun and silly, and I don't have to think too hard while reading them. They are escapist literature.

      This is not my favorite book in the series. I found the character Munch to be extremely annoying, and his reasons for wanting to kidnap Stephanie a little out of character for the series. Still, I enjoyed reading it, and hope the series continues for a long time.
    • 3/5
      Plum Spooky was alright. Diesel's back, tracking down his cousin, Wulf, and Stephanie needs to find Martin Munch or her cousin Vinnie will go into the red. Apparently his boss is not one to cross. Diesel and Stephanie work together to find them since Martin and Wulf are in cahoots. It had the usual antics and made me chuckle a few times. It's a cute addition to the series. 3.5 stars
    • 4/5
      Another fun read. Add Diesel and Carl and I'm in love!
    • 4/5
      Very enjoyable, even though this is a "between the numbers" book. Loved the monkey, I want to adopt one now. I thought the humor was pretty funny in this one, although crude at times. Evanovich's books are always fast, easy and light reads.
    • 3/5
      I was surprised that I enjoyed this one as much as I did. Best of the "Between the Numbers" books so far for me.I liked the monkeys, Tank - the cat lady and Joe's brother.
    • 2/5
      This audiobook was mostly a waste of time. I enjoyed Grandma Mazur and Lula as usual, but the pack of monkeys were a little much. I did enjoy Carl for a bit, but by the third round of Super Mario Brothers, I was over him, too. I didn't see the purpose of throwing in Diesel, another possible love interest for Stephanie. As if she needed another inept complication in her life. And the supervillain Wolf" was a little much for me, too."
    • 3/5
      I only read this because I'm playing a "Word Scavenger Hunt" and it really filled the requirements!

      Diesel..... Another man? So what I could not figure out was: "What was SPOOKY about this book?"

      So one of Stephanie's skips is some techno-genius, who has teamed up w/ Wulf (Diesel's nemesis & cousin). They have stolen some thing-a-ma-jig that changes weather..... They also have some mind control device...

      This is just more of the numbers series only with the addition of "unmentionables", people with special powers....

      More of the same, not as interesting, definitely NOT "Spooky".....
    • 3/5
      This was an enjoyable, quick read. Elmer was a bit much, but a few parts really made me laugh.
    • 2/5
      This was not one of my favorites, as not as good as the others in the Plum series.

      Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum has Munch on her most-wanted list for failure to appear in court. Plum is the all-American girl stuck in an uncomfortable job, succeeding on luck and tenacity. Usually she gets her man. This time she gets a monkey. She also gets a big guy named Diesel.
    • 5/5
      As all Janet Evanovich books, this was a great one. Though I'm not sure I haven't read one of her books that hasn't been great. Sooo...that must be the reason she's a New York Times best selling author huh? Get pointers for your books that you write from her~! Also, read her non-fiction book, that's the one I'm looking for now!
    • 4/5
      Janet Evanovich sure can tell a story! As usual, I found her novel to be absolutely delightful. I thoroughly enjoy her characters and their sense of humor, as well as the plot and Ms. Evanovich's writing style. This novel is several hours of fun and entertainment.
    • 4/5
      Janet Evanovich is always good for a laugh and this one doesn't disappoint. Like the 'numbers" books best but this still most enjoyable. There aren't many books that make me laugh out loud but you can't help the odd chuckle when you read the latest Stephanie Plum antics :)

      She always cheers me up when I am feeling a bit blue.. great light entertainment!!!
    • 2/5
      This was extremely boring to me at times. The only things that really kept me reading this were Carl the monkey and the fact that Diesel is really growing on me. I don't think I would recommend this to fans of the other books of the series.
    • 4/5
      I love these books. They're so silly and fun. In this one Stephanie and Diesel are looking for someone named Wulf. How ridiculous! I'm just disappointed there wasn't more Grandma Mazur...or Ranger...or even Morelli!
    • 4/5
      I listened to this one on audio. Plum Spooky is the 4th in the In-Between-the-Numbers Series. I have to say out of the two I’ve listened to this one was the better one. It could have passed as a regular Stephanie Plum novel, but it lacked the sex scenes.

      All the regular characters make an appearance, even Morelli and Ranger. Plus Diesel (yummy) returns to complicate things even further. I thought the plot was more developed and it was actually funnier than some of the other Plum novels I’ve read.
    • 4/5
      What can I say about this book that's different from my review for the other Stephanie Plum novels? Nothing. Still wonderful comfort food.
    • 3/5
      While not part of the official by-the-numbers series, this is quite by the numbers reading. Stephanie is hunting Martin Munch and Diesel re-appears. To be honest I dislike Diesel's attitude to Stephanie and while some people might find the scenes where they wake up in the same bed cute, I find them kinda creepy. No means NO dammit.Stephanie ends up being pulled into mystery that involves Diesel's cousin Wulf and a lot of monkeys.It's readable but quite predictable. I'm going to need a break before I read the next Evanovich, I think I'm a bit burnt out on the kooky antics.
    • 4/5
      The Stephanie Plum books are all enjoyable reads on a light and instantly forgettable level. This 'between-the-numbers' title is even less believable than most,in that they introduce a supernatural touch. They are none the worst for that. Do not expect any subtlety within these pages as schoolboy (and/or girl) humour abounds.
    • 3/5
      I believe that Spooky was the last of the Between-the-Plums novellas, and I think that's a good thing. I'm pretty sure I'll much prefer reading about Diesel in his own series. I'm not crazy about mixing the normal Stephanie Universe with supernatural powers and such. Overall though, I did enjoy the story. Janet Evanovich has quite the imagination, lol. The monkeys were cute. Just a fun, quick mystery.
    • 5/5
      This was a surprisingly long in-between-the-numbers novel and that was AWESOME!!!!I love her characters and this one did not fail!
    • 5/5
      This was surely another crazy novel around Stephanie Plum. Likes it a lot and finished it quickly.
    • 3/5
      I love the Plum series - laugh out loud, pure fun and I was glad to finally get my hands on this. Another rolicking adventure even though a little out there in terms of plot - perfect escapism though and sice I was ill it was just what i needed to cheer me up.
    • 3/5
      Plum Spooky is an enjoyable read. It isn't anything special in the series - some funny episodes especially when Stephanie Plum is trying her bounty hunter stuff. The Diesel/ fantasy elements are not my favourite but if you just accept them then they can be enjoyable. Although why does every drop dead gorgeous guy she meets want to sleep with her?
    • 4/5
      Good read, with humor and suspense - keeps one turning those pages. Just wish she'd stop writing the phrase "couple..." as in "couple times" "couple dishes" "couple [insert word here]" Where I come from we say "couple of". Otherwise a good book.
    • 5/5
      This is one of those books you don't want to put down, and I didn't. I read it until I was finished with it, and wanted more,more, more. this is so true of Evanovich's books, but this one was exceptionally entertaining. Not to give away the plot, but her bounty hunting is exciting, and at times scary, and the romance is just enough to be teasing but not out of character with the genre of the book. She gets her man, men, or whomever she is after, with one exception. I'll let you read this exciting book to find out for yourself what the ending is. It is not one that I expected, and Evanovich came through one more time.
    • 4/5
      Two Minute Review for “Plum Spooky” by Janet EvanovichStephanie Plum needs to get Martin Munch back to jail. But first she has to find him. Lucky for Stephanie she has Diesel and a monkey to help her. Both the monkey and Diesel are just a little out of this world. They will have to be a more than a little magical to help her escape the evil Wulf. Wulf has some bad Mojo. I laughed out loud more than once. If you or I went through this stuff we would have post traumatic stress. But I guess that is the fun of it. No reality needed or wanted in these books!
