Review: Seven Up — Janet Evanovich

Posted on | July 29, 2010 | No Comments

Seven Up seems to be everyone’s favorite Stephanie Plum novel. It’s my second favorite. In this novel, Stephanie sets out to bring in Eddie DeChooch. DeChooch is house-bound, depressed, almost blind and hard of hearing, but he still manages to escape Stephanie. DeChooch was caught with cigarettes crossing state lines and skips out on his court hearing. Mooner and his friend Dougie and somehow they end up with DeChooch’s cigarettes and a cooler with something very special inside.

Mooner and Dougie disappear and Stephanie has to ask Ranger for help finding them. In return, she makes a deal with Ranger to spend a night with him.

Stephanie’s sister Valerie’s perfect life has fallen apart. She divorced her husband and moved in with Stephanie’s parents, her two daughters in tow. Stephanie’s mom might be menopausal and the house feels smaller every minute. Stephanie rides a Harley, mud wrestles with the aid of Lula, and gets fitted for a wedding dress.
