“I've read almost all the Plum books, and I found that the first five were laugh out loud funny -- so hilarious and well-written (I want to be just like Grandma Mazur when I grow up!) that I began to share snippets with my adult daughter, who then became a Plum addict herself.
BUT. . .unlike most series books, I found I can't read the series one after another after another, the way I read most series. Though the books are still funny with delightful characters (wait 'til you meet Sally!), at the end of book 11 or 12 Stephanie has not either grown as a character or gone any further in resolving her dilemma -- Morelli or Ranger. So I use the Plum books more like icing on a cake -- if I'm really down or have done a great deal of serious reading, I take a Plum or two for comic relief. Glad you enjoyed One For the Money -- you'll have fun with this series!”
