Plum Lucky by Janet Evanovich

This is a "between-the-numbers" Stephanie Plum novel. We see the return of Diesel, introduced to us in Plum Lovin'.

It's St. Patrick's Day and there is a rainbow in the air. Grandma Mazur stumbles into a duffle bag full of money - lots of money. She thinks that it is lucky money and hers to keep. Let the good times roll. She is off to Atlantic City. But other people have claims on the money. The story has an interesting cast of characters including an ex-jockey who thinks that he is an invisible leprechaun (he is always lucky, but manages to fumble it away); of course there are Stephi, Lula, and Connie from the bailbonds office; Diesel appears from Stephi's past - another man in her life; a short guy hired by Grandma Mazur; the gangster Delvina; and a horse to add to the adventures and misadventures. Of course there is the money.

More of a novela than a full fledged novel it is still packed with laugh-out-loud moments. It's nice to have a mid-year book to help us make it until June when the newest installment comes out. So we'll see what comes out this summer. I guess we'll see Diesel in the mid-year books.
