#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Don’t miss Janet Evanovich’s short story “Pros and Cons” in the back of the book.Catch a professional assassin: top priority. Find a failure-to-appear and collect big bucks: top score. How she’ll pull it all off: top secret. Trenton, New Jersey’s favorite used-car dealer, Jimmy Poletti, was caught selling a lot more than used cars out of his dealerships. Now he’s … used cars out of his dealerships. Now he’s out on bail and has missed his date in court, and bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is looking to bring him in. Leads are quickly turning into dead ends, and all too frequently into dead bodies. Even Joe Morelli, the city’s hottest cop, is struggling to find a clue to the suspected killer’s whereabouts. These are desperate times, and they call for desperate measures. So Stephanie is going to have to do something she really doesn’t want to do: protect former hospital security guard and general pain in her behind Randy Briggs. Briggs was picking up quick cash as Poletti’s bookkeeper and knows all his boss’s dirty secrets. Now Briggs is next on Poletti’s list of people to put six feet under.
To top things off, Ranger—resident security expert and Stephanie’s greatest temptation—has been the target of an assassination plot. He’s dodged the bullet this time, but if Ranger wants to survive the next attempt on his life, he’ll have to enlist Stephanie’s help and reveal a bit more of his mysterious past.
Death threats, highly trained assassins, highly untrained assassins, and Stark Street being overrun by a pack of feral Chihuahuas are all in a day’s work for Stephanie Plum. The real challenge is dealing with her Grandma Mazur’s wild bucket list. A boob job and getting revenge on Joe Morelli’s Grandma Bella can barely hold a candle to what’s number one on the list—but that’s top secret.

For awhile I gave up on the Stephanie Plum series because it became too formulaic and repetitive. But with my Stay at Home boredom, I tried this one and found it fun and a fast entertaining read. The formula remains, but because it’s been a few years since I last read one of this series, it felt like I was catching up with an old friend. Quirky as ever, but entertaining.
Great as always
Another wonderful Stephanie Plum hit. I really love this series!
I love anything Janet Evanovich has written. The Stephanie Plum series is fun and entertaining and I adore the whole wacky cast of characters. I only wish I had known someone like Ranger in a previous lifetime! Please, Janet, keep ‘em coming!
This is a fun tongue and cheek series that always makes me laugh out loud!
Love these Stephanie Plum books. Really makes you laugh at the situations she gets herself into.
Great book!
She is one hella writer and her characters are soooo twisted. As the one commercial says…..try it, you will love it.
Characters make you laugh out loud
All of these books are great. I can’t wait for the next one!
I love the Stephanie Plumb series. The characters are wonderful and so down to earth. When is the next story coming out?
Another great Stephanie Plum book!
How can anyone not love Stephanie Plum and her quirky adventures?
Her first step into International intrigue and frequent steps back into the underbelly of Trenton, NJ make this a very unique story with the twists between what seemed obvious and where the story actually goes.
Another great Plum story!
This author is my favorite You absolutely cant put them down
I have read these books from one. I laugh so hard.
Love the characters!
What better to read when you are stuck inside from a virus and need to be thoroughly entertained? I love all the characters in Stephanie Plum’s world! I always finish the book feeling better. This was no exception. And for some reason, I’m also hungry….
What’s a girl to do when she’s stuck with a ‘short person’ that everyone hates and wants to knock off? Leave him with a feral pack of chihuahuas, while tracking down skips. Good thing she has both Ranger and Morelli to watch her back and Lula paving the way.
Ive tead all 26 books and they are funny. The characters are great.
i love these books and this author. i know when i start one of her books that everyone and everything will just have to wait…
All books with Stephanie Plum are pure fun to read. You know what you’re getting (sort of!) but you’re waiting for the NEXT THING… the best fast food reading and, therefore, a wonderful guilty pleasure break from life’s pressures/ concerns. Eat this series like candy.
