Game On

 

Janet Evanovich's 28th (TWENTY-EIGTH?!) Stephanie Plum book, "Game On", was pretty good. Not her best but definitely not her worst, either. 

Diesel shows up one night, on the hunt for a hacker named Oswald Wednesday. Stephanie's also after him for skipping on his bail, and soon Morelli is after him for murder. Seems a group of amateur hackers who call themselves the Baked Potatoes managed to hack into Oswald's network and he's out for payback. He kills most of them, and Stephanie is able to get to the last two and hide them out at Ranger's place while she and Diesel try to track Oswald down. All the usual things happened: Stephanie manages to blow up a couple of cars and gets food all over herself while trying to keep a fugitive from escaping, Grandma Mazur disrupts a wake, etc. Vinnie made a short but memorable appearance (I like Vinnie, I wish he was in more of the stories). All in all it was pretty fun.
