Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich

Fiction. Humor/romance/mystery. Latest release in the Stephanie Plum series, and a disappointment. After breaking half out of the formula last time, she returns to it without a single variation. So, you know, it's funny and enjoyable and occasionally sexy, but everything is exactly the same on page 300 as it was on page 1. If I had more faith I'd put stock in the hints that she's actually going to set up the threesome, but it's never going to happen. Someone really needs to sit her down and explain the finer points of writing a successful, sustainable series.
