Alison Pink (7 KP) rated To the Nines (Stephanie Plum #9) in Books

Jan 15, 2018

In the 9th installment of the Stepahnie Plum series Stephanie finds herself as the "prize" in a real-life game of murder. The players in this game are set up to hunt each other down by being given email clues from the Web Master an unknown person who directs the game & controls those who play it. Stephanie unknowingly thrusts herself into the game when she goes out to hunt down a guy who has bailed on his visa bond.
This book was much more suspensful than the last few in the series. There's lots of tasering, shooting, kidnapping, & bodyguarding. I figured out who the Web Master was with about 100 pages left to go...though I had my suspcisions earlier on. That didn't take away from the plot though.

Review

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this book and how relatable these characters were. I felt joy, sadness, and heartbreak for Essie. I often times felt like I was watching a real reality show think ___ kids and counting from TLC. I loved how much it also related to thinks that are news now. Womens rights and violence against women. For being a book about a religious family that didn't play much into the book except to be part of various locations or one of parts of the story. I really loved how the book came to be a 180 turn around and how Essie seemed to pull the strings by guiding things to happen but not forceful she knew one to step back and wait.

Ridiculous story

I want a medal for reaching the end of this triple marathon of an audio book that I basically hated. This was a tale of the ridiculous, a kind of farce in the play-sense and something that lacked real meat to the story. I cannot even re-synopsis briefly, because the irritation is strong.

The characters were mostly annoying, the story line was ridiculous to the power of 10 and the pace went from boring plodding to high, over-the-top drama.

Narration was a bit of an issue when you have 9 povs and one narrator but that wasn't the reason for my dislike.

I have enjoyed this author before, so if this is your first time reading Liane Moriarty, give this one a miss and pick another.
