Narrator King somehow makes the crazy, comic antics of Evanovich's irresistible bond agent, Stephanie Plum, seem almost rational in this fine audio adaptation. The story opens with the outrageous apprehension of a nude, Vaseline-coated fugitive by Stephanie and her plus-sized, ex-hooker, "sometimes partner" Lula. Soon after, Stephanie sets off on the trail of Samuel Singh, an illegal immigrant who apparently fled a Visa bond and his fiancee. With plenty of prior experience narrating Evanovich titles (Hard Eight, etc.), King has no trouble highlighting the eccentricities of the author's invariably quirky cast of characters, as well as the ongoing romantic triangle between Stephanie, her sexy partner Ranger and Joe, a Trenton cop with whom she shares a "long, strange history." Evanovich's quick-witted, sarcastic and often raunchy dialogue takes the edge off the story's suspense, but King's chameleon voice and ease with accents make this a lively listening experience

In this high-energy story of abduction and murder in two cities--Trenton, New Jersey, and Las Vegas--Stephanie Plum becomes the murderer's prime target, wooed with flowers and photos that reveal how a web master stalks her through the electronic kingdom of cyberspace. The novel has Plum's usual sidekicks--the larger-than-life Lula; the alcohol-saturated Connie, assistant to Stephanie's boss, Vinnie; and Tank, Stephanie's bodyguard. Stephanie is relentless in her pursuit of the missing Samuel Singh, whom she has been hired to track down. Occasionally, King groups and accents words and phrases in a way that sets up a singsong rhythm. M.D.H. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine--
