When Look Alive Twenty-Five from the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich was published last fall, I devoured the remaining books I’d not caught up on yet. Look Alive Twenty-Five by Janet Evanovich ![]() ![]() ![]() Claude's entire existence revolves around covering up his actions, and the main reason for his wanting to drive Edgar out of the house is so that he won't have to take so much time or care covering his tracks, and hiding the evidence of his actions. An argument that would in most families mean an estrangement, or a couple of holidays spent apart, escalates in the Sawtelle family and triggers Claude's decision to murder Gar, and cover it up afterwards. The chief antagonist is Edgar's uncle, Claude, and it is his inability to get along with his brother for most of their lives that is the catalyst for the unravelling of the Sawtelle family. The Story of Edgar Sawtelleis primarily allegorical and is said to be based on William Shakespeare's play Hamlet Edgar himself, the allegory of the eponymous Prince of Denmark, is admittedly Shakespearean, but his story could just as easily appear on any episode of Forensic Files or in suspense-filled psychological drama novel because of its enduring themes of sibling rivalry, jealousy, avarice and murder. ![]() We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
