Love reading them both, two different types of personalities, but if you are looking for humor, you can't be Ms. Plum.

A friend just brought me "S" and "T" and I'd forgotten how much I like Kinsey, who I voted for. She smarter and doesn't surround herself with crazy people like Stephanie does.

My main problem with the Kinsey books was that for a while they weren't being written fast enough. I read M when it first came out. I was a little lost, I really needed to go back and read the first 12 books over again before reading N.

I'm reluctant to do that now, because as I recall, most of the problems Kinsey ran into could have been solved using a cell phone and the internet. If she'd had a PDA, the books would be short stories instead. That was fine when I was reading them 15 years ago, but despite the fact that years went by in the real time the books were written, Kinsey didn't get any older and the technology wasn't getting any better.

I don't know who Kinsey is, but I love Stephanie Plum. I'm just waiting for the next one to come out.


Someone care to explain who Kinsey is?
