Oh, absolutely. Evanovich is a writing machine. She has a spin-off series featuring Diesel (a superhuman named... Diesel) and Lizzy Tucker called the Wicked series. Start with Wicked Appetite (2010). It’s more paranormal, less realism, but still has her familiar snark. Read it after book 15 of Plum if you want to avoid tone whiplash.
She also co-wrote the Fox and O’Hare series with Lee Goldberg. This one’s a heist romance starring FBI agent Kate O’Hare and con man Nicolas Fox. Begin with The Heist (2013). It’s lighter on gags, heavier on caper logic. Think Ocean’s Eleven with more banter. Good palate cleanser between Plum books.
Then there are her older romance novels from the 80s and 90s. They are steamy and very dated. Not necessary for Plum fans, but fun if you want to see her roots. Titles like Viking in Love make you wonder what she was thinking. I’m guessing: “I need money.”
A Little Warning for the Enthusiastic
Here’s the honest part: after book 20, the series gets formulaic. I’m talking paint-by-numbers. Stephanie still loses her car, Grandma still cracks wise, and the love triangle still spins its wheels. You might feel like you’re reading the same novel with different titles. I keep reading anyway. Why? Because it’s comfort food. Sometimes your brain just needs a burger, you know?

Also, Evanovich has a tendency to start a plotline and forget it for five books. If you’re a stickler for continuity, keep notes. Or don’t. Most readers are too busy laughing to care if Ranger’s elevator works this month.
