This book grabbed me from the first page and never let go. Stephanie Plum is one sassy, hysterically funny woman! I instantly connected with her. She isn't afraid to say what's on her mind and she'll get the bad guy if it kills her, which it almost does. The other characers are wonderfully three dimensional as well, and the one liner banter between her and Morelli can only make you wonder where it will all lead to.
She's a character you wish you could go out and have a drink with, because you know you'll be laughing all night long!

Really enjoyed this - though I usually like my mysteries less hard-boiled (I'm a dyed in the wool Cozy reader)..but the humor balanced out the (for me) gory, creepy parts.

This was the first Evanovich that I have ever read! I LOVED IT!!
I was laughing do hard I was crying. I have already started book 2.
I can not wait to see what is going to happen with Joe and Steph.

The first of a number of hilarious, entertaining books by Janet Evanovich. Stephanie Plum is the most interesting character I have come across in a long time. I highly recommend this and all the rest in this series.

My aunt has been trying to get me to read this series for years. I joined PBS and saw these books referenced everywhere. Book 13 in the series came out so I figured, "Wow, must have a huge following." With a build-up like that, I expected to be let down when I finally caved in to read this. And I finished this book in one day. I absolutely loved it! Evanovich has a great way of being descriptive without making the reader's eye glaze over. The characters are so vivid and distinctive. Stephanie is a great lead - flawed, funny and real. Can't wait to read the next installment!

I was reading this on a plane and just burst out laughing--it was a little embarrassing! What a great series! Love all of the Stephanie Plum books!

Cheesy, thin plot, unbelievable characters, completely predictable. Didn't like it, not one little bit.
