Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. In her rollicking 13th Stephanie Plum adventure (after Twelve Sharp), bestseller Evanovich is in top, quirky form. Plucky, bumbling New Jersey bounty hunter Plum is reunited with her two-timing lawyer ex-husband, Dickie Orr, while doing a favor for the mysterious, sexy Ranger. But when Dickie disappears from his house leaving behind only bloodstains and bullet holes, Plum becomes the prime suspect in his alleged murder. Determined to clear her name, Plum and her on-again off-again Trenton cop boyfriend, the irresistible Joe Morelli, uncover Dickie's ties to a shady group of men involved in everything from money laundering to drug running. And when Dickie's jilted business partners decide Stephanie holds the key to the $40 million they believe Dickie stole from them, she's in for a wild ride. With the author's usual cast of eccentric side characters—everything from a taxidermist with a penchant for bombs to a grave-robbing tax man—Evanovich proves once again that Stephanie Plum and her entourage are here to stay.

From AudioFile

When bodacious bounty hunter Stephanie Plum goes to her ex-husbands apartment, she finds blood stains on the carpet and suspects hes either dead or kidnapped. She doesnt really care, but she knows the police will blame her because shes threatened to kill him before, so--with the help of her boyfriend-- she sets out to discover what happened. Lorelei King shows flexibility as she performs the cast of unpredictable characters that that make up Plums world. Kings performance gives the sense of multiple narrators. She delivers the comedic aspects of this mystery with expert vocal manipulation and produces a variety of believable accents.

3.0 out of 5 stars More of the Same, Aug 26 2007
By Bernie Koenig (London, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
By now Evanovich has got the formula down. Stephaniès crazy skips and what she has to do to catch them, the crazy case she gets to work on, the humor with grandma, and, of course, the good old rivalries with Morelli and Ranger.

While readable and enjoyable, there is little new here. The case she gets to work on, where, for a short time she is a murder suspect, is somewhat complex, and a good read for straight mystery fans. Her involvement with case is where the tension with Ranger and Morelli comes in, since Stephanie is put in danger and becomes a target for the real murderer.

But all in all, a mid pack effort.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Baker's Dozen of Plum, Aug 19 2007
By Amanda Richards "Modest to the extreme" (Georgetown, Guyana) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I'm sorry to report that this novel only exists to make up a Bakers' dozen, so that the author can avoid the wrath of the publisher by coming up short. I'm not saying that it doesn't have its funny moments, or that it isn't well written, but nothing very much is added here to the Stephanie Plum life story, and at number thirteen, you would expect a couple of new twists or the beginning of the wrap-up.


As Brooke Valentine (featuring Dirt McGirt) once sang in "Blah, Blah, Blah"


Boi u kno i love ya
Boi u kno i love ya like
La la la la la la la
But u always talkin
Boi u always talkin sounds like
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah


Same old Stephanie, same old Joe, same old Ranger, Lula, Connie, parents, and Joyce - except this one brings back an ex-husband, and adds some crooked lawyers, a grave robber and a mad taxidermist.


Hardly any surprises, and lots of blah blah blah.

4.0 out of 5 stars plum as saucy as ever!, Jul 29 2007
By roger hainsworth (lobethal, south australia) - See all my reviews
Nothing stales the infinite variety of Janet Evanovich. We are back in the Burg, (aka Chambersburg) a decidedly ethnic area of Trenton, New Jersey. For the past thirteen novels the Burg has been the home of Stephanie Plum and her vast extended family. (At times Stephanie appears to be kinfolk to the Burg?s entire population. Well, the more or less law abiding folk anyway.) Among them are Stephanie?s grandmother, a pistol-packing septuagenarian with oddball enthusiasms in whose company life is never dull, and Stephanie?s long-suffering mother. Mom longs for her daughter to marry Morelli, a dangerously attractive cop, and stop playing around with the much more dangerous Ranger, ex-Special Forces, who operates a security company. She also wants Stephanie to retire from the perils of bounty hunting miscreants who have skipped bail on behalf of Cousin Vinnie?s bail bond business. Stephanie?s assistant Is Lula, ?a black woman with a Rubenesque body and a Vegas wardrobe that?s four sizes too small.? Lula is a sort of Grandma on steroids, and my favourite. The plot need not detain us long. Stephanie?s ex-husband, Dickie, has disappeared, assumed dead, and $40 million worth of ill-gotten assets have vanished with him. His weird law partners are turning up dead. Ranger is hot on the trail and Stephanie divides her time between working for him and being protected by him from the surviving partner, a murderous madman who wants the dough and believes Stephanie has the key to it. Read on.
