Stephanie Plum, Trenton, New Jersey's favorite pistol-packing, condom-carrying bounty hunter, is back - and on the trail of a revenge-seeking waitress who's skipped bail. With the help of 73-year-old Grandma Mazur, ex-hooker Lula, a transvestite musician named Sally Sweet, and the all-too-hospitable, all-too-sexy Joe Morelli, Stephanie might just catch her woman. Then again, with more mishaps than there are exits on the Jersey Turnpike - including murders, firebombs, and Stephanie's arch-rival bounty hunter chasing after the same fugitive - Stephanie better watch her back big-time if she wants to live to crack this case.
This book had a lot of mystery in it. Stephanie’s main case
doesn’t make much sense. There is a woman on the run while playing a clue game
with her ex-boyfriend. Meanwhile, the people around her are being cut and
injured by someone.
In the middle of that case, someone starts terrorizing
Stephanie causing her to lose her car and her apartment. And if that wasn’t bad
enough, Morelli’s whole family is convinced that she is pregnant and they are
getting married.
It was a strange book right from the start, but that is what
made it so intriguing. I found it really hard to put down which was great.
I was right that the chapters don’t seem as long anymore now
that I am used to their length. Reading too many James Patterson books had me
used to 2-3 page chapters.
I haven’t hit a dull point in this series yet, and I hope
that doesn’t happen.
I hope Sally remains a part of this series, but I have a
feeling that he will be gone after this book.
5/5 Stars
Memorable quotes: “In my world, God and Santa Claus did not
micromanage lives. Of course, that meant you couldn’t count on them to lose
weight, either.”
“I like Lula a lot, but last time we worked together I
gained seven pounds and almost got arrested for shooting a guy who was already
dead.”
“Tonight my aloneness felt lonely, and maybe even a little
frightening.”
“I loved my mother, but love only goes so far when you’re
trying to explain how your grandmother ended up standing on a blackjack table
in a packed casino.”
