Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and no one knows this better than New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. Dead bodies are showing up in shallow graves on the empty construction lot of Vincent Plum Bail Bonds. No one is sure who the killer is, or why the victims have been offed, but what is clear is that Stephanie’s name is on the killer’s list.Short on time to find evidence proving the … time to find evidence proving the killer’s identity, Stephanie faces further complications when her family and friends decide that it’s time for her to choose between her longtime off-again-on-again boyfriend, Trenton cop Joe Morelli, and the bad boy in her life, security expert Ranger. Stephanie’s mom is encouraging Stephanie to dump them both and choose a former high school football star who’s just returned to town. Stephanie’s sidekick, Lula, is encouraging Stephanie to have a red-hot boudoir “bake-off.” And Grandma Bella, Morelli’s old-world grandmother, is encouraging Stephanie to move to a new state when she puts “the eye” on Stephanie.
With a cold-blooded killer after her, a handful of hot men, and a capture list that includes a dancing bear and a senior citizen vampire, Stephanie’s life looks like it’s about to go up in smoke.
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg’s The Heist.

Typical Evanovich. Same song, different verse but a fun read never the less.
Another Stephanie Plum adventure, funny book. Same stuff, different day. But you can’t help yourself. You know exactly what you’re getting, but you still need it like an addictive drug.
Again, I read this book years ago. I don’t really remember the plot, but know the troubles she encountered tickled my funny bone. She is an enjoyable author.
A hoot
All of Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum books are a hoot! Love them all! Just fun!!!
Stephanie Plum series is goooood reading
Love this whole series!
The formula as before. Ms. Plum is always good for a laugh, and the rest of the gang is a solid supporting cast. A nice beach read.
Stephanie Plum certainly has a lot of people in her life who want to tell her what to do. I’m not sure I’d handle it as well as she does… and she doesn’t always handle it well. But that’s why we all love her. Two key things about this particular book:
1. Dead bodies keep popping up. A detective’s dream… I mean, yeah, it’s bad for the person …
I love all J.E. books. Just a fun read.
I love all the Stephanie Plum stories in this series. I highly recommend the audio version, narrator Loreli King if great! Highly entertaining!
Love all of the Stephine Plume books
Janet Evanovich has it down with these books. Great characters, a whole lot of funny, danger and two very hot men lusting after the heroine and as luck would have it she finds them pretty yummy also. Throw in a plus size ex ho a crazy grandmother who carries a gun and a giant dog named bob. I do not think I need to say anymore.
I love this book like I love qll or her books she does a awesome job
good comedy is hard to find. the main person is not perfect.
This book is as good as all the other Evanevich books featuring Stephanie Plum
It was funny and very entertaining. A book you hate to see end.
I honestly think the books are getting better. It seems there is more action and more craziness and who doesn’t like that! Lula is STILL driving me nuts with the whole shooting anyone who calls her fat! If she don’t like it she needs to lose weight or dress better. The Ranger action was waaaaay HOT and we NEED more of it
Stephanie Plum and her family and friends are all such characters. Laugh out loud reading.
Janet Evanovich creates the most entertaining characters. The narrator, Lorelei King, is fabulous! She is the absolute best at creating entertaining voices. You have no trouble differentiating between characters. Stephanie Plum, a bounty hunter, has to juggle her men as well as her enemies. She is excellent at multi-tasking. This book is …
After about the 10th Stephanie Plum book, it’s hard to distinguish one book from another. Still fun to read when I want something quick and funny
