This was a great addition to the Stephanie Plum series. Stephanie is after Eddie DeChooch and he should be easy to take in. Of course, life is never that easy for Stephanie. The mystery in this one is actually quite messed up and funny at the same time. I wish I could see the conversation between Connie, Lula, and Stephanie that occurs near the end of the book. (Sorry, can't give any details!) I was giggling like mad just trying to imagine it! The tension between Ranger and Stephanie is crazy good in this one. A quick read that has humor, sexual tension, and a fascinating plot. I thought it was one of the best I've read so far.

Didn't like this one as much as some of the others

This one was a little harder to keep track of with all of the different characters. The ending doesn't leave you hanging as much too. I think I need a break after this one!

If you have never read a Stephanie Plum novel, you are so totally missing out!! Absolutely hysterical books, you laugh out loud!

So, Grandma Mazur's boyfriend is Stephanie's new FTA. But he's mighty elusive for being so old and driving such a noticeable car.

This one is the funniest to me so far!! Can't wait to read the rest!

All New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum has to do is bring in semi-retired bail jumper Eddie DeChooch. For an old man he's still got a knack for slipping out of sight--and raising hell. How else can Stephanie explain bullet-riddled corpe in Eddie's garden? Who else would have a clue as to why two of Stephanie's friends suddenly vanished? For answers Stephanie has the devil to pay: her mentor, Ranger. The deal? He'll give Stephanie all the help she needs---if she gives him everything he wants...
This is a must read as another of the long list of Stephanie Plum Novels. You will hang on each page as if you were there on this long and sometimes hairy ride with Stephanie and of course Ranger and let's not forget Stephanie's Grandma Mazur who always seems to be in the middle of everything........

Evanoich is always great

Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum's got a lot on her mind. How does cigarette smuggler Eddie DeChooch, a fugitive so geriatric that even the hot-to-trot Grandma Mazur won't go out with him a third time, keep giving her the slip? How did a woman who died of a heart attack end up in DeChooch's garden shed with five bullet holes in her chest? Who stole a rump roast from Dougie and Mooner, the two lovable potheads who have decided to be crime fighters in Spandex bodysuits? Can Stephanie's perfect sister Valerie make it as a lesbian single mother without driving her family crazy? And--oh yeah--what should Stephanie do about that damn wedding dress on hold at Tina's Bridal Shoppe, waiting for her to decide whether vice cop Joe Morelli's really the one for her?

To complicate matters further, Stephanie's made a reluctant deal with the devil: if she can't bring in DeChooch by herself, her sexy but dangerous cohort Ranger is willing to help--for a price that a girl who's not-exactly-engaged is uncertain whether she should pay. But when Dougie and Mooner disappear, Grandma is kidnapped, and a crazy widow starts taking pot shots, no one who hides her .38 in a cookie jar is going to turn down a little friendly assistance.

Semi-retired mob guy, Eddie DeChooch, is caught trafficking contraband cigarettes through Trenton, New Jersey. When DeChooch fails to show for a court appearance, bond enforcement agent Stephanie Plum is assigned the task of finding him and dragging his decrepit ass back to jail. Not such an easy job, it turns out, since DeChooch has learned a lot of tricks over the years and isn't afraid to use his gun. He's already shot Loretta Ricci and left her for worm food in his shed. He wouldn't mind shooting Stephanie next.
Likeable losers (and former high school classmates) Walter "MoonMan" Dunphy and Dougie "The Dealer" Kruper have inadvertently become involved with DeChooch. They've gotten sucked into an operation which is much more than simple cigarette smuggling and holds risks far greater than anyone could have imagined.

When Dougie disappears, Steph goes into search mode. When Mooner disappears, she calls in the heavy artillery and asks master bounty hunter Ranger for help. Ranger's price for the job? One night with Stephanie, dusk to dawn. Not information she'd want to share with her some-time live in roommate, vice cop Joe Morelli.

A typical dilemma in the world of Plum.

And on the homefront, Stephanie's "perfect" sister Valerie has decided to move back to Trenton, bringing her two kids from hell. Grandma Mazur is asking questions about being a lesbian, and Bob, the bulimic dog, is eating everything in sight-including the furniture.

Mud wrestling, motorcycles, fast cars, fast food, and fast men. It's Seven Up. Absolutely Janet Evanovich at her very best.

I took a 2 month break after book 6 and then really started missing Stephanie Plum. I read this one in a week end and felt like I was with old friends again. This one had me chuckle out loud several times (Stephanie racing the dog Bob over to Joyc's yard to do his business was especially funny). I also became more endeared to the goofy Mooner character. I really enjoyed it - a nice, light read that is very entertaining. Don't miss out on this series!

I started out not likeing the series but I made myself keep reading them and am enjoying the series now very much. It is fun to see what Stephanie is up to and what she car she is driving....

Great book! My family thinks I'm crazy because I'm laughing hysterically while reading.

This Stephanie Plum entry features a marriage proposal from Morelli, an alternative proposal from Ranger, the most elusive old fart fugitive on the planet, two stoners, and a Mysterious Something that several people seem really, really interested in finding. Oh, and there are mud wrestlers, motorcycles, and Bob the Dog, just to keep things interesting.

Another fabulous book in the Plum Series!

Just love all of the books in this series!! This one seemed to move a little slower than some of the other, but still a great read!!

Maybe it was just me and my typically befuddled brain, but I had a harder time following this one than her other Stephanie Plum books.

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

A great, fun read in the Stephanie Plum series.

Great summer read If you like lots of action, laughs and a little sex thrown in!
