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.

Lite reading with humor, have read quite a few of her books.
Funny
I enjoy this entire series. These books are like eating chocolate — very hard to stop.
I always enjoy anything that Janet Evanovich writes. I feel like I know her characters as friends. I have read all the Numbered books! I just get a kick out of them.
I love Janet’s books I’m always checking for her next book to come out.
My favorite series for sure! Love the characters and you laugh out loud when you read these. I’m always sad when I finish cause I don’t want it to end!
Could read them over and over again. Stephanie and Lula are so funny and entertaining.
Series gets old after awhile. If it’s your first read, you will love it. Predictable after reading the whole series
This is my first Janet E book, I LOVED IT!! I love her style of writing. I found myself not only chuckling but laughing out loud at times. I plan to read the whole series!!
It was OK. Her later books are not as funny or as interesting as her first few.
I have enjoyed all the Stephanie Plum number books. (I do not like the books between the number books with Diesel.) I have noticed that I do not find the newer ones, say fifteenth to the most recent which is 20 something, as funny or as entertaining as I once did, but they are still a good read and I will continue to
pre-order them for the …
Janet Evonovich just keeps entertaining.
Always fun. Characters are a little exaggerated for my taste.
Stephanie Plum has been a favorite read and re-read for many years. Ooooohhhhh, Ranger……
Love this series.
Hilarious!
So much fun!
Another fun romp with Stephanie and friends!
Just LOVE all Stephanie Plum stories
Always laugh-out-loud.
