Stephanie Plum, the brassy babe in the powder blue Buick, is back, and she's having a bad hair day - for the whole month of January.
She's been given the unpopular task of finding Mo Bedemeir, Trenton's most beloved citizen, arrested for carrying concealed, gone no-show for his court appearance.
And to make matters worse, she's got Lula, a former hooker turned file clerk--now a wannabe bounty hunter--at her side, sticking like glue. Lula's big and blonde and black, and itching to get the chance to lock up a crook in the trunk of her car.
Morelli, the New Jersey vice cop with the slow-burning smile that undermines a girl's strongest resolve is being polite. So what does that mean? Has he found a new love? Or is he manipulating Steph, using her in his police investigation, counting on her unmanageable curiosity and competitive Jersey attitude?
Once again, the entire One for the Money crew is in action, including Ranger and Grandma Mazur, searching for Mo, tripping down a trail littered with drug dealers, leading Stephanie to suspect Mo has traded his ice-cream scoop for a vigilante gun.
Cursed with a disastrous new hair color and an increasing sense that it's really time to get a new job, Stephanie spirals and tumbles through Three to Get Deadly with all the wisecracks and pace her fans have come to expect.
Stephanie and her cast of characters are always great fun. This is very abridged and was somewhat disappointed as there is a lot more depth to the story and character development in the book. Took a little bit to get used to Lori Petty's narration, but by the 2nd disk, I could live with it. Not to get too picky about a great fun read, but if I hadn't read the book first and the entire Plum series I don't think I would have kept reading them over and over just to laugh.
This is one of my favorites of theh Plum books. It has a lot of Lula and Grandma Mazur in it, which really adds to the fun.
The only problem I have with the cd is that I'm not a big fan of Lori Petty as a reader. Her voice is too gravelly and she's not good at distinguishing between the characters.
