Brian and Barbara review the book Dirty Thirty by Janet Evanovich, number one on the New York Times hardcover fiction list of November 19, 2023.

Stephanie Plum, Trenton, New Jersey’s most famous fictional detective, is back in her thirtieth adventure, this time trying to apprehend a fugitive who thought a good way to escape the tedium of his assembly line job at the local button factory would be to commit armed robbery of a jewelry store. Can Stephanie track him down and get paid before her rent is due, while dealing with car wrecks, fire-bombings, amorous ex-lovers, an assistant who thinks her apartment is haunted by an ogre—a real ogre—and a golden retriever who remains perpetually hungry no matter how recently, and often, he’s been fed?
