As the last line of the blurb suggests this novel “transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you’d actually want to read.”
Now, I am not a fan of Jane Austen and I have never read or intend to read the original, but who among us can resist the appeal of the Zombie in search of brains. There is not a large amount of Zombie mayhem, not as much as I was hoping for, however Elizabeth and her sisters do spend a lot of time practicing the "deadly arts".
This is an enjoyable read, the pictures are amusing, the story from what I can remember of the movie contains all the important bits and even though it has two authors the writing flows well.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who is looking for some light hearted Zombie fun that is not to be taken seriously.

Everyone's favourite female bounty hunter is back in Plum Spooky, a between the numbers novel. I haven't been a big fan of the Plum novels that come between the main series featuring Diesel, but with this one I've seriously changed my mind.

Diesel, a young bounty hunter with some questionable skills and special powers, drops back into Stephanie's life while he's on the trail of his cousin. His search collides with Stephanie's search for her latest FTA with some scary and hilarious results. There's monkeys, mud, rockets, trashed cars, explosions, food fights and the fire farter. Plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.

It's not essential that you've read all of the previous novels. Evanovich is the master of catching you up on the history of the characters.

Reading the latest in the Stephanie Plum series is like being with old friends - comfortable , entertaining and with some laugh out loud moments.

All of our favourite characters are back - gun toting Grandma Masur, the always sexy Ranger, not so sexy but sassy Lula, and the very patient Morelli along with the heroine Stephanie. Trying to make a living as a bounty hunter is not easy, especially when you have to dodge bullets, exploding animals and swap cars to remain anonymous.

Not quite as entertaining as the previous Plum books, but I'll still be lining up for number 14.
