Book Description:
What's Stephanie up to now?
* Her Uncle Fred has disappeared.
* A body turns up in a garbage bag.
* She's got a nasty bookie following her around town.
* Grandma Mazur has her hands on the stun gun.
* Stephanie can't keep a car for more than forty-eight hours.
* Two men are trying to get her into bed.
* She has nothing to wear to the Mafia wedding.
* And there's an angry little man (don't call him a dwarf!) who won't leave her apartment.
Bail jumping in Trenton is down to small potatoes. Stephanie's only open case is a small bond for a small violation, committed by a small person who raises Stephanie's frustration level in big ways. So short of money and long on bills, Stephanie comes up with a plan --diversify! Signing on as an intern with entrepreneurial Super Bounty Hunter Ranger, Stephanie ventures into Ranger's mostly morally correct and marginally legal operations.
None of this makes vice cop Joe Morelli a happy man. The cop in him can't help but wonder as to the source of Stephanie's expensive new cars. And the rest of him, the man who's been friend and lover to Stephanie, can't help but wonder if there's more to the partnership than meets the eye.
The internship is downgraded to second priority when Uncle Fred goes missing. Even though Grandma Mazur is sure he was abducted by aliens, Stephanie sets out to look for Fred. He's a perfectly average senior citizen, and he's disappeared without a trace while running errands. He's left his ten-year-old Pontiac station wagon locked up nice and neat in the Grand Union parking lot, the cleaning is carefully arranged on the back seat, and his wife is at home, waiting for him to return with the bread and the milk and the olive loaf bologna. Locked in the top drawer of his desk are photos of a body, dismembered and stuffed into a garbage bag. And locked away in the computer files of a another average citizen are the clues that will lead Stephanie to Fred.

Another rip-roaring Stephanie Plum mystery. Just when you think she can't come up with any more wild and zany characters, she does! Laugh-out-loud funny!

I am reading the series in order, and I know I have a long way to go, but this one was GREAT!!! I thought the 4th was awesome, but 5 is just amazing! Stephanie is at it again and this time her family is involved in a big mess!
ALSO anyone who is interested in her love life will get a kick out of this one. Ranger or Morelli??? The ending keeps you guessing!

The action never stops! Another Stephanie Plum adventure when she sets out to find her missing uncle. As usual, many other things intervene and you are off on another reading adventure.

Fantastic read as always. I love the Stephanie Plum books. They will make you laugh out loud while reading.

Very funny and surprisingly good for a book this far into a series. They seem to get better as the characters evolve and so far the plots don't suffer, as is often the case in a long series.
All of the usual characters make an appearance, so you won't be disappointed by a lack of Lula or Grandma Mazur butting in and causing trouble.

Another fantastic Stephanie Plum adventure. This time I didn't get through the first chapter without laughing out loud. Grandma Mazur gets a little more book time, and is hysterical as always. Stephanie is asked to look for her missing Uncle Fred, and also starts working part time for Ranger with whom the sexual tension is heating up. Morelli is still around and gorgeous as ever. She's got a crazy man watching her, a ticked off little person living in her apartment (which give some of the funniest lines in the book), and her luck with cars has, if anything, gotten far worse than before. And of course, dinner with the Plums is never to be missed!
These characters get better and better as the books go on, and Stephanie's exploits just get funnier and funnier.

I HAVE TO SAY WITHOUT A DOUBT...I HAVE NEVER BEEN UNHAPPY WITH ANY OF JANET EVANOVICH'S BOOKS.
SINCE I FIRST DISCOVERED THEM , I CAN'T GET ENOUGH.
I HAVE SUFFERED FROM DEPRESSION AND BI-POLAR DISEASE MY ENTIRE LIFE..BUT WHEN I READ HER BOOKS..I FREQUENTLY LAUGH SO HARD MY HUSBAND THINKS I'AM CRYING..THE TEARS OF LAUGHTER JUST WON'T QUIT.
SHE IS JUST A RIOT WITH HER "STEPHANIE PLUM BOOKS"
I HAVE NOT READ ANY OTHER BOOKS WRITTEN BY HER THAN THIS SERIES....BUT SHE IS A GENIUS!!!JUST CAN'T PUT THEM DOWN.

Love this series! Stephanie Plum single woman struggling to make a living with a cast of familiar crazy characters plus always some new inhabitants. Get a look at life in "the burg", someplace different than a lot of the writers settings. Great fun adventures every time. Love the stories, just could do with a little less romance and sex. Hope J.E. continues to write this series of number books into the teens, twenties, onward and forward...

Marianne S. (As usual, it is a fast paced thriller with laughs along the way, this one leaves you hanging more than the others did.
If it has "Evanovich" on the cover, it is a well-written book. If it is one of her "numbered" mysteries, it is good reading!
Amanda B. (Number 5 and I'm still laughing out loud. Still hooked and loving the series. Was reading this one on a plane and got a few stares on more than one occasion due to the sudden fits of laughter. The only negative I have on the books is that by the end of this book I was beginning to feel that the blowing up of Stephanies cars is getting a bit old. She had at least one or two cars of her own blown up in books 1, 2, 3 and 4 and then now in book five she had about 5 cars blow up. Thats getting a bit old and would like to see her make it thru a whole book without having that happen, but still loving the series.
Jennifer A. (Another absolutely hilarious book by Evanovich! Grandma Mazur and Lula are priceless. The love triangle of Stephanie, Morelli and Ranger begin. Have book 6 on hand because you will want to jump right in it with the ending on this one!
Another great book by Janet Evanovich. Her writing (and Stephanie Plum) keep me coming back for more.
