Book Description:
Working for her bail bondsman cousin, Vinnie, Stephanie is hot on the trail of revenge-seeking waitress Maxine Nowicki, whose crimes include bail jumping, theft, and extortion. Someone is terrifying Maxine's friends, and those who have seen her are turning up dead. Also on the hunt for Maxine is Joyce Barnhardt, Stephanie's archenemy and rival bounty hunter. Stephanie's attitude never wavers - even when aided by Grandma Mazur, ex-hooker and wannabe bounty hunter Lula, and transvestite rock musician Sally Sweet - and even when Stephanie makes an enemy whose deadly tactics escalate from threatening messages to firebombs. All of this pales in comparison, though, with an even greater danger Stephanie faces, when, homeless and broke, she and her hamster Rex move in with vice cop Joe Morelli.

RATED PG35 for licentious wit and libidinous cohabitation.

Stephanie Plum is one crazy lady. This series will make you laugh and cry. Once you begin reading this series you will NEVER want to stop. I got my mom and all her friends reading the series. Evanovich really incorporates all the important elements in her writing. So be ready to fall in love with Stephanie and friends, its definately worth it.

As usual a host of Wacky Characters, this book adds Sally Sweet, a disfunctional lot but all very enjoyable. The villians in her story usually end up being sort of creepy and this one is no different in my opinion. For me the Stephanie Plum novels never seem to drag they're always on the move.

Hilarious! I don't know how Evanovich thinks up this stuff. If you have read the first three books in this series, you know that Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter. This time she has the "help" of her 73-year-old grandmother, an ex-hooker named Lula, and a transvestite musician named Sally Sweet, all toting guns. Then there's the cop Joe Morelli. With all the mishaps, including murders, firebombs, and her rival bounty hunter chasing the same fugitive, Stephanie had better watch her back.

Janet Evanovich never seems to disappoint. Another week or two in the chaotic life of Stephanie Plum. As usual, Stephanie attracts trouble and hottie Joe Morelli. If you've been waiting to see more of hottie Morelli, this is your chance. I love the characterizations in this book, from ex-hooker Lula to crazy Grandma Mazur. Great beach/pool read!

I cannot not get enough of Stephanie Plum and her funny Italian family. I laugh outloud in everyone of her stories. Janet E. wraps quirky, funny, suspense,drama and family eccentrics is her Stephani Plum stories. I love her way of combining humor with everyday life and the downfalls and strange situations that occur with being a female bounty hunter.

You gotta love this character and the series. Love to read what new adventure awaits Stephanie with each new book. Some madcap, lots of mystery, poor woman barely scraping together enough money to live on, has a colorful cast of characters popping up in every book. Not for real serious, fun light reading.

"Four to Score" is fast-paced and funny. In this book, Stephanie is trying to collar a waitress who jumped bail after she was arrested for stealing her boyfriend's car. Sounds simple? Not in Stephanie's world! She finds herself in all kinds of trouble, and without a car and a home because of fallout from this case. But in true Stephanie form, she seems to come out on top. She meets a new friend - a six foot four inch drag queen called Sally Sweet and she actually takes her so-called relationship with Morelli to another level. Enjoyable read

It's a good one! Evanovich is enlarging her cast of characters. Now we have Sally Sweet, a hilarious (and very manly) cross-dressing member of a rock band, and Joyce Barnhardt, who was introduced in earlier books as having been caught by Stephanie in flagrante delicto with her then husband, and who is now working for the same bail bondsman. Joyce is determined to beat Stephanie at her own game, and keeps turning up at the worst possible moments. And the old favorites, such as Lula the ex-hooker, Grandma Mazur and Ranger are all here.

As in earlier books, Stephanie is being hounded by maniac; this time a jealous molotov cocktail hurling love-rival. And, with her apartment gutted by fire from one attack, she's forced to stay with love-interest Joe Morelli, making for some serious sexual tension.

A special mention must be made of an outstandingly funny "undercover operation" in an Atlantic City casino.

Despite the hilarity, there's also a pretty good whodunnit that'll keep you guessing.

Very entertaining and hard to put down. I have had to apologize to my husband several times because I laugh out loud and wake him up! Good, fast read!

The series just keeps getting better, when you end one book you want to immediately pick up the next. This one has some laugh out loud funny. Certainly should pick up the first in the series and get reading.

Another great Stephanie Plum mystery. Evanovich never disappoints. I wish that she and Morelli would hurry and hook up. But, that's just me. Read #4 to find out how close they come.
I can't read all of her books at one time because I like to savor them. One helping at a time.

I positively adore Janet Evanovich. The Plum series make me laugh out loud. They are fun, easy stories that grap my imagination and make it run. I recommend this book and all in the series to any who love a light comedy with colorful characters.
