Are You Ready to Score?



Four to the Score is the fourth installment in the Stephanie Plum series.  What could possibly happen this time?  Well stay tuned to find out!

Synopsis:

Stephanie’s next case is to find Maxine Nowicki.  She has been working on the case and chasing leads.  Then she runs into complication that is her cousin Joyce Barnhardt thwarting her every move.  One lead leads her to Eddie Kuntz who hires her to find Maxine as long as he can see her before Stephanie turns her in.  All she needs to do is follow the clues.  What she didn’t count on is losing her car and her apartment.  Where will she go?  How can Ranger and Morrelli help her this time?

My Thoughts:

I enjoyed this one from Janet Evanovich.  I was able to listen to this one as well.  This time it was narrated by CJ Critt.  I enjoyed her telling of the story.  I thought she distinctly separated all the characters so you knew who was who. This audio version was a little longer than Three to Get Deadly.

What could possibly happen to Stephanie next?  I thought the case was interesting.  I did wonder would Stephanie get her perp?   The tension between Stephanie and Morrelli was very entertaining.  The author left you wondering if they ever would get together.  I wonder if that still might happen down the line.  We shall have to see.

The author also treats you to learning more about the Trenton New Jersey area.  I am sure that some of the areas are fictionalized for the novel.  I wonder if the author plans to take Stephanie outside of New Jersey.

A very entertaining read!

4/5

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
