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.

Another author worth the read.
Just can ‘t stop giggling when reading this author
The book is entertaining and enjoyable, but having Stephanie perpetually in a quandary over which of the two men she wants gets a bit wearing at times.
I love her series of books! A great escape…fast read, and couldn’t put it down. If you want an escape…read the entire series. I have!
OI love reading this series when I need a fun, easy read. Grandma Mazur is a whoot!
I always love stephanie plum.
Evanovich always provides a good read with unforgettable characters.
I love all the Stephanie Plum novels. They are funny, with a little spice. Between Lula and her grandma Mazur, it’s a laugh out loud hoot on every page.
Love this series! I find myself laughing out loud! You never know what what trouble Stephanie will get in next!! The grandma and Lulu are great characters too!
A fun book. Very entertaining.
Laugh out loud!
I do enjoy this series. I love Lulu and Connie and Grandma M. I do with the author wood let Stephanie become a little more competent. Evanovich has come up with an original protagonist and you can’t help but enjoy these books. No one can imitate her and many try but they are poor second runners at best.
I have read all the Stephanie Plum series. This is a very easy read. The fact that it takes place in the town I grew up in makes it even more interesting as I know the places Stephanie travels to throughout her day. I would love to meet Morelli and Ranger….both hotties!! Lucky Stephanie!! And her grandmother is a hoot. No grass growing under …
Too many of these that seem to just run through the series formula. You start thinking you have read it before.
Just more of the same.
Janet is one of my favorite authors! Her characters are funny and we root for the happy ending! Can’t wait for her next book.
Great diversion.
I like all of Stephanie Plum books!
I think this is one of the Stephanie Plum books that I’ve read so far. It is a continuation of the series and I would recommend it.
I am extremely biased, in that I love everything I have ever read by Janet! Stephanie Plum books are hilarious, as are all the characters. Especially the exasperated, flat-tone “Babe.” guy! (You’d know only if you’ve read any of the books!) Other books have made me just belly-laugh-teary-eyed! If you have a sense of humor, Janet is one of the …
