Stephanie Plum, the trash-talking New Jersey bail bondswoman of this popular series, is tracking Maxine Nowicki, who's wanted for skipping out on a car-theft charge lodged by her ex-boyfriend. Now the ex-boyfriend's very interested in getting back the love letters he supposedly wrote to Maxine. But what he's really looking for is the secret on which Evanovich hangs her screwball cast of colorful minor characters, including Sally Sweet, a cross-dressing drag queen; Lula, the 250-pound ex-hooker who works for Steph's boss; Cousin Vinnie, the bail bondsman; Grandma Mazur, who packs a Glock and is always looking for a little action; and Joyce, a wannabe bounty hunter who's been cramping Steph's style since she played pass the salami with Steph's ex-husband. The action doesn't get much farther from Trenton than the Jersey Shore, but when Steph's apartment and car are blown up by the others on Maxine's trail and she moves in with Joe Morelli, the handsome, arrogant cop she's been hung up on since high school, it gets hotter than the craps table in Atlantic City. Plum's fans won't be disappointed in this fourth outing in the series, and they're likely to be even more interested in the snappy patter and sexy shenanigans than in the mystery that holds it all together. --Jane Adams

Product Description:

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 then 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 fugative--Stephanie better watch her back big-time if she wants to live to crack this case.

Thank you very much Annelis! I have been really looking forward to read more about Plum (and, of course, about handsome Morelli...!), I'm sure I'll enjoy this book!

Another good one from Evanovich. Characters are hilarious, and there's enough action and passion :)

I'll send the Plum books 4-9 to Annimanni as a rabck. I enjoy reading these (mis)adventures as many in a row as possible, so now I am offering that opportunity to her. Hilarious moments with Stephanie!

Thank you so much, polenka! Can't wait to start reading these :)

I'm reading these in order and have not stopped loving them yet :) I hope the quality won't falter as many times tends to happen with serialized fiction.

Will I score at the meetup?

Poimin kirjan Postitalon kierrätyshyllystä ke 13.3.2013. Kotona kävi ilmi, että minulla onkin jo sama kirja (mutta erilaisella kannella, siksi en heti tunnistanut) omassa hyllyssäni, joten laitan kirjan uudelleen liikenteeseen nyt to 14.3. Töölön kirjaston kierrätyshyllyyn. Toivottavasti siis kirjan kiertomatka jatkuu pikapuoliin!
