Dead bodies are showing up in shallow graves on the empty construction lot of Vincent Plum Bail Bonds. No one is sure who the killer is, or why the victims have been offed, but what is clear is that Stephanie's name is on the killer's list. Short on time to find evidence proving the killer's identity, Stephanie faces further complications when her family and friends decide that it's time for her to choose between her longtime off-again-on-again boyfriend, Trenton cop Joe Morelli, and the bad boy in her life, security expert Ranger. Stephanie's mom is encouraging Stephanie to dump them both and choose a former high school football star who's just returned to town. Stephanie's sidekick, Lula, is encouraging Stephanie to have a red-hot boudoir "bake-off." And Grandma Bella, Morelli's old-world grandmother, is encouraging Stephanie to move to a new state when she puts "the eye" on Stephanie. With a cold-blooded killer after her, a handful of hot men, and a capture list that includes a dancing bear and a senior citizen vampire, Stephanie's life looks like it's about to go up in smoke.

Add a CommentI laugh out loud when I read this series.
Evanovich painfully prolongs this series by rehashing a very soap opera style formula of more fluff than substance. Sadly her recurring characters, who seem stuck in a time warp, are boring and predictable.
I loved this book !!!! on my second janet evanocich book and want more !!!!!
Unfortunately the question of doughnut or cluck-in-a-bucket has become more interesting than the Ranger-or-Morelli debacle. Stephanie needs to grow up or at least take responsibility for a single decision she makes. This book is still a quick and easy read, but not nearly as entertaining as previous books in this series.
Hot sex in this one, after Stephanie gets "the eye" from Morelli's Grandma Bella.
This is my first Stephanie Plum book and I have to say I found it very disappointing. I pulled this book from the New York Best Sellers list expecting a quality read, but in the end it wasn't good at all. There were too many characters introduced at the outset almost as if they were rushed, the relationships felt hollow and forced, Lula, Vince, and Mooner seemed ridiculous and over the top and almost pointless. The end of the book felt like it was there just to finish it off, but really didn't tie everything together. There were some funny parts where I did laugh out loud, but by the end it seemed like such a long time ago with too many cheap jokes following the one or two good ones. Overall I would not recommend this book.
There is nothing new in this book and even the old story lines aren't funny in this one, but tired. Still wavering between the two guys and even they are no longer sexy. Boring, really - it seems like JE has lost interest in her characters.
Stephanie is back and as with most books in this series, she is still torn between Morelli and Ranger. Still riding around the Burg with Lulu trying to catch the D grade perps as a bounty hunter. Still driving her Grandma Mazur to viewings at the funeral parlour. Still in the same place she was in book two. There has been very little growth in her or any of the other characters over fifteen books. And while I enjoy these books like I enjoy my comfy old sweats, I want Stephanie to grow and change. At least get better as a bounty hunter. Still have the crazy perps that only her cousin Vinnie would bailout, but have her be better at taking them down. This might require Evanovich have to create more crazy perps and felons, but it would make for a better book. Only for the Evanovich fan.
Stephanie needs to make a choice: Morelli or Ranger - this plot device is wearing a bit thin. This 17th installment of the numerical Trenton-based series features the usual cast of odd-ball characters, including crazy "FTAs"; as well as the predictable food binges/fights; visits to the funeral parlor, and destroyed cars. I think Evanovich would be wise to wrap this all up by the 20th novel.
Much better plot than her last novel. As usually Lula and Grandma Mazur are hilarious. The love triangle with Stephanie, Ranger and Morelli is getting a bit old. I wish she would just pick one and move on with that story line.
