Book Description:
MISTAKE #1
Dickie Orr. Stephanie was married to him for about fifteen minutes before she caught him cheating on her with her arch-nemesis Joyce Barnhardt. Another fifteen minutes after that Stephanie filed for divorce, hoping to never see either one of them again.

MISTAKE #2
Doing favors for super bounty hunter Carlos Manoso (a.k.a. Ranger). Ranger needs her to meet with Dickie and find out if he's doing something shady. Turns out, he is. Turns out, he's also back to doing Joyce Barnhardt. And it turns out Ranger's favors always come with a price...

MISTAKE #3
Going completely nutso while doing the favor for Ranger, and trying to apply bodily injury to Dickie in front of the entire office. Now Dickie has disappeared and Stephanie is the natural suspect in his disappearance. Is Dickie dead? Can he be found? And can Stephanie Plum stay one step ahead in this new, dangerous game? Joe Morelli, the hottest cop in Trenton, NJ is also keeping Stephanie on her toes-and he may know more than he's saying about many things in Stephanie's life. It's a cat-and-mouse game for Stephanie Plum, where the ultimate prize might be her life.

Always laugh out loud fun with a Stephanie Plum adventure. I never know what trouble she's going to get in and which of her "men" will be there to bail her and Lula out. The characters are outstanding...loved the taxidermist and Uncle Elmer in this one - Hilarious...now I'm just upset because I have to wait a whole year for another one!

Dude, even her underwear has a RangeMan logo on it. Funny as always. Lots of Ranger, Morelli, Grandma, car destruction and funerals with exploding dead animals thrown in. And Tank and Lula are getting a little more serious. What more could you ask for except for the next book to be released next week.

If you liked her first 12 books in the series, you'll like this one. Not the best of them, but definitely worth reading.

More of the same from Plum but the same works so dern well that I think I would keep reading until Evanovich stops. The exploding squirrel, Grandma and the ever present and hilarious Lula makes this a great summer read. I got through it quickly without missing a thing which is a big deal for this slow reader. If you've read the previous Plum novels don't stop with this one.

More adventures of Stephanie Plum. Many laughs and surprises along the way. The taxidermist subplot is hilarious in a twisted, sick way.

OMG This had me laughing so hard, I had to bury my face in the pillow so as to not wake up my husband! I wish Janet Evanovich could write these as fast as I read them.

Excellent! It was worth the wait. Stephanie, Morelli and Ranger are better than ever!

Typical Stephanie...what do you expect? If she were and brighter or reserved we would not like it. Great read! Love them all!

Hysterical as usual. And I just have one thing to say about the cable company...."those f'ers"

When I first began the book, it was pretty formulaic. But then, things started popping--Evanovich did it again! Just love this series. Marian

This is Evanovich's best one in her number series so far. There are parts that are just laught out loud funny. Even if you haven't read any of her other books in this series (and you definately should) this is a MUST read!

Typical Evanovich book. Very suspenseful and hilarious. A good read.

Step;hanie Plum is always entertaining and getting into trouble.

I had to admit -- the exploding taxidermies were pretty ingenious. But it is time to choose between Ranger and Morelli.

Another great romp-- and the Joe-Ranger decisions are even more tantalizing

Hot guys,adventures, & laughs. I love this books series.

As much as I looked forward to this book, it was quite a letdown. The characters fizzled out, lost my interest, and the plot was just boring. Number 12 was the best yet, and I looked forward to 13. I kept reading farther into this, hoping the love interests would still sizzle but it just went "Blahh". Of course, if you're a fan of Stephanie Plum, you'll probably read this anyways. Just don't expect hot sensual scenes with either of the men, nor any super interesting FTA's.

Another great book in the Number series
