Stephanie Plum, the brassy babe in the powder blue Buick is back and she’s having a bad hair day — for the whole month of January. She’s been given the unpopular task of finding Mo Bedemier, Trenton’s most beloved citizen, arrested for carrying concealed, gone no-show for his court appearance. And to make matters worse, she’s got Lula, a former hooker turned file clerk — now a wannabe bounty … bounty hunter — at her side, sticking like glue. Lula’s big and blonde and black and itching to get the chance to lock up a crook in the trunk of her car.
Morelli, the New Jersey vice cop with the slow-burning smile that undermines a girl’s strongest resolve is being polite. So what does this mean? Has he found a new love? Or is he manipulating Steph, using her in his police investigation, counting on her unmanageable curiosity and competitive Jersey attitude?
Once again, the entire One for the Money crew is in action, including Ranger and Grandma Mazur, searching for Mo, tripping down a trail littered with dead drug dealers, leading Stephanie to suspect Mo has traded his ice-cream scoop for a vigilante gun.
Cursed with a disastrous new hair color and an increasing sense that it’s really time to get a new job, Stephanie spirals and tumbles through Three to Get Deadly with all the wisecracks and pace her fans have come to expect.

Janet Evanovich’s STEPHANIE PLUM & friends have a fugitive to find. Too bad it’s a, Uncle Mo, a locally treasured hero. But under all sweetness, who is “Uncle Mo’ really? This book is another delightful laugh-aloud installment of a great series.
Great fun!!!
Love this series. Have been reading it since the first book. One of my favorites. Read them over and over
Stephanie Plum is a walking disaster; an accident waiting to happen
These books are so funny. I love every character in the book.
4 of 5 stars to Three to Get Deadly, the third book in the “Stephanie Plum” mystery series written by Janet Evanovich. This was one of the more funny books, as the cast of characters just keeps growing full of hilarity. And if you love ice cream, you need to read this one. Stephanie’s kinda like that cousin or old friend who keeps popping back into your life, kinda needs a favor, but is a kick ass person who just sometimes doesn’t know how to get things under control. But she keeps trying and eventually gets much closer. Often with your help. Evanovich gets in her stride in this series with this book, as she has a good, repeatable pattern and formula, but always throws a few surprises in. Good mystery in this one… tho it spans the gamut of ice cream and drugs!
No one writes with the humor of this author. I would suggest you read her books in order. If you need to laugh her books will always be a great read.
Stephanie Plum and her cast of New Jersey characters are never-changing, which one would think boring, but I find somehow oddly comforting. I like to read these books when I need something funny, not too challenging, with characters whom I’ve come to think of almost as part of the family. These books are to me what others find in chocolate or mashed potatoes and gravy…comfort food!
