In her fifth high-octane thriller, bounty hunter Stephanie Plum sets out to find her missing uncle-- and along the way smacks slam-bang into: a dead body, a nasty bookie, her stun-gun-toting grandmother, two very sexy men, an angry little man who won't leave her apartment, and a Mafia wedding...
Another book of witty conversations, unfortunate luck for
Stephanie, and sexually charged encounters. Oh, and some crime on the side!
This book made me laugh out loud more than any of the previous
books in the series. The way that Ranger and Morelli both just laugh when
something unfortunate happens to Stephanie makes me laugh even harder.
If you need a pick-me-up, these are the books that you
should read. There are plenty of interesting storylines with different crimes
and mysteries, but there is also a lot of comedy. Whether it comes from Grandma
Mazur, Lula, or Stephanie herself.
There is a good balance of funny and serious, and it keeps
you interested the whole way through.
I was really annoyed with Briggs as a character when Lula
and Stephanie were trying to catch him, but once she had to have constant
communication with him, he really grew on me. I hope that he shows up in the
following books. They had interesting banter back and forth, and I think he
could be helpful to her.
I really wanted to just crack open the next book right after
I finished this one. These characters are addicting.

Memorable Quotes: “Okay, so sometimes I wasn’t the world’s
greatest bounty hunter. I wasn’t a fabulous cook. I didn’t have a boyfriend,
much less a husband. And I wasn’t a big financial success. I could live with
all those failings as long as I knew that once in awhile I looked really hot.”
“Stephanie Plum, master of diversion. If your hair is bad,
shorten your skirt and ass extra mascara.”
“I really needed juice. And a Snickers bar. If I had juice
and a snickers bar, I probably could forget about sex. In fact, I didn’t even
need the juice anymore. Just the Snickers bar.”
