Summary:
Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter, sucks at her job. The only reason she's still at it is because she's really, really lucky, and because one of her bounty hunter buddies, Ranger, is really effing hot. This time around, Steph's after an eighty-year-old with an attitude and former (probably still current) mob connections who is not afraid to take a shot at anybody in his way. Poor Steph keeps trying to drag the old man to jail, and getting herself mocked every time it doesn't work out. Nice. Her perfect sister, Valerie, is home from California and getting in her way, thanks to Valerie's impending divorce and new-found need to reinvent herself. And Grandma Mazur's always getting in the way, this time in the form of being kidnapped.She's got Morelli, her cop boyfriend/lover boy, proposing marriage, and Ranger, that hot buddy of hers, proposing one night of who knows what. And Joyce Bernhardt keeps pissing her off. How you doin', Jersey. Just a day in the life...
Thoughts:
Hey, you guys got a short reprieve, didn't you? Once again, Steph's got a thousand issues, and no patience to resolve any of them. I love that there are always a dozen balls in the air for Stephanie, though I will admit that I feel bad for her because of it. Things just don't seem to ever be easy for the poor girl. I still appreciate her relationship with Morelli, though her impending hook-up with Ranger is going to put a crimp in those plans real fast. I almost wish she would break up with Morelli so she could get Ranger out of her system. Who knows if that will happen, (uh, everyone who's actually up to date with the series, considering there's 12 others) but I wish she'd just make up her mind already. Next thing I know, Evanovich is going to send another man into the mix, just to increase the sausage party Steph's already surrounded by currently. Still, the writing is great. Stephanie's voice is perfectly Jersey. And the books are not only fun, they're easy to plow through in a matter of a few days, sometimes less if you give yourself a couple hours. Love this series.
