Mooched from an American bookmoocher.

Blurb from the back:

New secrets, old flames, and hidden agendas are about to send bounty hunter Stephanie Plum on her most outrageous adventure yet!

Mistake #1: Dickie Orr.
Stephanie was married to him for about fifteen minutes before she caught him cheating on her with her arch-nemesis Joyce Barnhardt. Another fifteen minutes after that, Stephanie filed for divorce, hoping never to see either one of them again.

Mistake #2: Doing favors for super bounty hunger Carlos Manoso (a.k.a. Ranger).
Ranger needs her to meet with Dickie and find out if he's doing something shady. Turns out, he is. Turns out, he's also back to doing Joyce Barnhardt. And it turns out Ranger's favors always come with a price.

Mistake #3: Going completely nutso while doing the favor for Ranger, and trying to apply bodily injury to Dickie in front of the entire office.
Now Dickie has disappeared and Stephanie is the natural suspect in his disappearance. Is Dickie dead? Can he be found? And can she stay one step ahead in this new, dangerous game? Joe Morelli, the hottest cop in Trenton, NJ, is also keeping Stephanie on her toes - and he may know more than he lets on to her... It's a cat-and-mouse game for Stephanie Plum, where the ultimate prize might be her life.

Journal Entry 5 by weebly from Hartwell, Northamptonshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, September 9, 2008
This book arrived today - and I finished my last book last night - so I can get reading straight away! Thanks Becky - I am really looking forward to this one.

Journal Entry 6 by weebly from Hartwell, Northamptonshire United Kingdom on Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Great book - I really enjoyed reading it. It was great to catch up with Stephanie, Morelli and Ranger. More murder and mayhem, donuts, cluck-in-bucket and wrecked cars. Thanks for sharing.

DH read the book too and enjoyed the light relief. He was surprised when I told him I preffered Morelli to Ranger - he thought I would be a Ranger fan!

Journal Entry 7 by camis from Norwich, Norfolk United Kingdom on Monday, October 6, 2008
Received safely last week - sorry for delay in journalling. Will read soon and send on.

Journal Entry 8 by camis from Norwich, Norfolk United Kingdom on Saturday, October 18, 2008
Another fun, frantic adventure for Stephanie - the mayhem never ends! Have to agree with Weebly that Morelli would be my guy for everyday, but Ranger would be fun for special occasions!!

Will PM Wistful for an address and get the book on it's way again.

Journal Entry 9 by WistfulDragon from Streatham, Greater London United Kingdom on Sunday, November 2, 2008
Wonderful book! Got it Friday, read it Saturday, finally got to the computer today. Thank you so much! A nice twist happened in this one for me - there was one bit where I thought they were overlooking something completely obvious, but in the end it turned out that I was overlooking something else completely obvious, so I got surprised anyway!
I'll PM Katybean for her address now.....

Journal Entry 10 by katybean from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire United Kingdom on Wednesday, November 12, 2008
Just to let everyone know that it arrived safely this morning!!

Many, many thanks WistfulDragon for the special little present which came with the book - I look forward to trying it out :o) :o)

I want to read Plum Lovin' (which I have on my shelf) before this, as I'm a bit sad and like to do things in the right order LOL

I will get to it as quick as I can though - can't wait!!

PS. Thanks Beckydore for starting the ray xx

Journal Entry 11 by katybean from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire United Kingdom on Monday, November 24, 2008
Another fantastic installment!! I do hope Janet Evanovich carries on until at least 100 in the series!

I did really enjoy this book, there wasn't as many laugh-out-loud-and-annoy-your-husband moments in this as others, but still thought it was great!

I have Ladkyis's address, so will get it off to her on my next trip to the Post Office.

Thanks for starting this Beckydore!

Sent to Calalilly so that she can read it and send it back and then I can send it to my cousin

Journal Entry 13 by calalilly from Waterlooville, Hampshire United Kingdom on Monday, January 5, 2009
Received in the post when I returned to work today. I've got a few more in the series to read before I get to this one. Just realised that I haven't read Visions of Sugar Plums that's between 8 and 9 and there's Plum Lovin' between 11 and 12 and Plum Luck between 12 & 13. I shall have to look out for these now.

Journal Entry 14 by calalilly from Waterlooville, Hampshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, February 17, 2009
I've passed this onto Purplerosebud to read as I'm not quite ready yet for it. I've had a few rings turn up so I will read the other numbers in between the rings. Purplerosebud will pass it back to me when she's read it.

Journal Entry 15 by purplerosebud from Petersfield, Hampshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, February 17, 2009
Thanks for this! Love the series can't wait to get started. Just have a a couple of bookrings first.

Journal Entry 16 by purplerosebud from Petersfield, Hampshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, May 5, 2009
Sorry this book has been held up. Going off to Rahar109 and coming back again later,

Journal Entry 17 by wingrahar109wing from Ash Vale, Surrey United Kingdom on Saturday, May 9, 2009
Arrived safely in the post this morning, thank you.
I think the next person for this is herrgirl - a few of us seem to have been jumped over, for some reason.

Journal Entry 18 by wingrahar109wing from Ash Vale, Surrey United Kingdom on Thursday, May 14, 2009
Good fun as always, as Stephanie looks for her missing ex-husband and burns buildings, wrecks cars, gets stun-gunned and generally leaves a trail of mayhem behind her.
I shall read Fourteen next and send both to Herrgirl at the same time.

Arrived this morning, along with 14, so a double helping of Plums! Woohoo! Can't wait to get started but will finish my current read first. Thanks to Rahar for sending it on, and to beckydore for sharing.

Journal Entry 22 by herrgirl from Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, July 28, 2009
Another enjoyable mad romp. No live animals were hurt in the making of this book, I'm pleased to see. Could Granny Mazur have a new hobby....?

Thanks for sharing this, beckydore. I'll PM birminhghamrose.

Journal Entry 23 by herrgirl from Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire United Kingdom on Sunday, August 9, 2009
Sending this on to birmingham-rose. I have delayed a few days as I wanted to read Fearless Fourteen which she would also like. I'll post them both off together.
