I just finished the new Stephanie Plum book
It was ok. Unfortunately, I read so much that I forget what happened in prior books.

If you are a Plum fan, it's not bad.

1. For some reason, I sorta burned out on
her books after about six. The same thing happened with Clive Cussler books. I tried a few times with both, but the formula just got too predictable.

3. Me too
Two times I read one that was sure I had read before. I was out of town and didn't have anything else so I finished. When I got home I compared to the older ones and I hadn't read them before even though I was sure I had. I took a couple years off and read another one recently and it seemed new (don't know if it was different or I forgot the old ones)

4. The same thing happened to me. I read through 12 of Stephanie
Plum and quit reading Clive Cussler altogether. He always has too many irons in the fire to keep up with any plot. Early Cussler books are great. I am reading John Sandford's Phantom Prey now.

5. I have it reserved at the bookstore on audiobook
I get it Monday.

They may be quite similar but I enjoy the time out from real life as I read them. They make me laugh.
