I honestly did not like the format nor the story. I love the Stephanie Plum series and this just seemed sub-par esp in the humor dept. There was no mystery and whatever smallish puzzle there was, was so stupid, it isn't worth mentioning. All I could see was child labour and bad parenting where your kids are blackmailing you for money. The only sane one from the bunch looked to be Uncle Ray and that's saying something. Will not be reading this series.
