Summary:
The bonds office is in desperate need of being rebuilt, and Vinnie is working on it. But there's a minor problem. Bodies keep showing up on the empty lot. Stephanie wants nothing to do with it, but of course Vinnie expects her to figure it out. Morelli's on the case, but it gets much worse when one of the bodies shows up with Stephanie's name attached. Ranger's keeping an eye on the situation too, since he runs security for the bond office. Stephanie is no closer to figuring out which of her two men she loves best, and since she can't make up her mind, her mother decides that a third, more stable option might be best. Dave graduated with Steph, was the star quarterback, and can cook like a dream. Too bad he won't leave her alone. Stephanie's got to figure out who is dumping the bodies, and who she loves best, before she goes crazy.
Thoughts:
The series had gotten into a bit of a lull in the overarching storyline for Stephanie, but this one really starts ramping it back up again. Evanovich's brilliance is nothing new to these eyes, but when she does so well, it's a joy to see. Steph has several steamy scenes with each of her menfolk, and you just can't help but love them both just as much as she does. The body dumping plot is exactly what Steph needs to distract her from her romantic dilemma. And Lula, as always, is spectacularly ridiculous. Just put the weapons away, Lula, and you'll be just fine.
