I'd be surprised. The collaboration with Lee Goldberg on the Fox series seems to be her primary 'non-Plum' outlet for adventure stories, and those are released like clockwork. Having two active adventure-mystery series with a romantic tension element might split the audience and cannibalize sales. From a strategic standpoint, it makes sense to consolidate efforts into the more successful partnership.
Knight and Moon was a solo venture, and perhaps she found the plotting for those globe-trotting capers more challenging without a co-writer. Goldberg brings a specific TV-paced structure to the Fox books that really works. She might have decided to stick with that winning formula instead.

Oh, absolutely! Janet Evanovich's books are a blast to listen to, especially if you're into fast-paced, witty mysteries with a dash of romance. I've binged almost all of her 'Stephanie Plum' series on audiobook, and let me tell you, the narrators bring so much life to the characters. Lorelei King is a standout—her delivery of Stephanie's sarcasm and Grandma Mazur's antics is pure gold. The way she switches between accents and tones makes it feel like a full cast sometimes. Even the standalone novels like 'Metro Girl' have great audio adaptations, though the Plum series is where the magic really shines.
If you're new to her work, I'd start with 'One for the Money.' The audio version hooks you immediately with its energy, and before you know it, you're 20 books deep. Some libraries have them available for free through apps like Libby, which is how I got addicted. Also, if you enjoy quirky female leads and laugh-out-loud moments, Evanovich's collaborations with other authors, like the 'Fox and O’Hare' series, are worth checking out in audio too. The banter between characters is even funnier when performed.

Let's be realistic: if it were ongoing, we'd have seen a book every two years or so. It's been five. The pattern is broken. Authors don't usually revive a series after that long unless there's a TV adaptation or something. And there's no adaptation news.

I'm a stickler for reading orders, and this one is blissfully simple. Janet Evanovich's Knight & Moon series: 1. 'Curious Minds' (2016). 2. 'Dangerous Minds' (2017). 3. 'Wicked Charms' (2018). That's the entire list. No short stories, no crossovers, no novellas. A pure, linear trilogy. I wish more series were this straightforward. You can buy all three without worrying about reading guides or chronologies. Just read from first to last. The character development, while not super deep, is consistent and rewarding across the three books. Riley becomes more confident and adventurous. Emerson learns (a little) about human interaction. It's a nice, complete package when consumed in order.

Thematically, they're about uncovering hidden truths. In Plum, it's often a crime hidden in plain sight in Trenton. In Knight and Moon, it's a historical or financial conspiracy hidden by powerful people. The connection is the 'uncovering' plot structure. The joy is in watching the protagonists peel back layers of deception and weirdness. It's a satisfying mystery structure that both series share, even if the stakes and settings are worlds apart. One uses a stun gun and fast food, the other uses private jets and ancient lore.

The lack of closure is the worst. Did they ever become a proper couple? Did Emerson's worldview ever change? Did Riley quit her boring job for good? We don't get answers, and that itch goes unscratched. Some readers are fine with open endings, but I like a little more resolution, especially when a series is clearly built on a slow-burn relationship.
After two books of buildup, to just stop feels like a narrative tease. It's like watching the first two acts of a play and then having the theater catch fire. You're left imagining the third act, but it's not the same. I'd pay good money for an official wrap-up, even if it's just an epilogue published on her website. Just give us something, please.

Has anyone else noticed that the titles are all plays on common phrases? 'Curious Minds', 'Dangerous Minds', 'Wicked Charms'. It's a cute theme. Anyway, the series order is exactly that list. They're all co-written, so the voice is consistent across the three.
I'd recommend them for a plane ride or a beach day. Light, funny, and the mysteries are engaging enough to keep you turning pages. Reading them in order gives you a sense of completion, as it's a contained trilogy with no cliffhangers begging for a next book.
