I loved every minute of this gem. Lula and Stephanie find that a mystery woman is stalking Stephanie with intent to kill. She claims she is Ranger's wife, and Ranger is mysteriously unreachable. The Hilarity volume rises as the new owners of the town funeral parlor are introduced to Grandma Mazur. I was wary that Janet Evanovich might be running out of material and situations to write about, but she cooked up a goodie in this one!

So glad to be back with Stephanie Plum again. This book is definitely worthy of the franchise and if you want to hang with Stephanie again, this is the way to do it! We learn more about Ranger in the process.

All fluff. A three evening read. Always enjoyable. Everytime I think this will be the last one, Evanovich must be out of ideas for Stephanie. Twelve Sharp was still the same book as the others, yet different enough that I didn't say "Bah!" and put it down.

Her best of the series. Now, if I only could find a man like Ranger...

Twelve Sharp is yet another laugh outloud book by Janet Evanovich. Stephanie Plum (bounty hunter from New Jersey) tries to bring back her cousin Vinnie's bonds while she's looking for Ranger who seems to have disappeared. If you've read the previous 11 books in the series don't miss this one as it has lots of funny episodes with her partner Lula and her wacky family.

The latest in the Plum series. It's getting repetitive now but it still a great rollicking series that I can't wait for the next chapter.

Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter. While chasing down the usual criminals she discovers shes being stalked by a crazy woman. Somebody dies, and Stephanie goes from chasing skips to hunting a murderer. She is joined by Ranger. They have to find a murderer and rescue a missing girl.

HARDCOVER. From Publishers Weekly: "The mixture of slapstick and gunplay that has put Evanovich's series about a sassy, less than competent New Jersey bounty hunter at the top of bestseller lists once again works its magic in Stephanie Plum's latest caper (after 2005's Eleven on Top). Stephanie, who freely admits her failings as a hunter of fugitives, faces a growing work backlog that threatens the continued existence of her job. Her clumsy efforts to clear some cases, along with the help of her outrageous colleague, Lula, result only in their adding another sad sack to the office payroll—a forlorn shoe salesman who's talked off a ledge by Stephanie's offer of a position as file clerk. Stephanie's ambivalence toward the two men in her life becomes harder to maintain when one of them, the mysterious Ranger, is accused of kidnapping his own daughter. Countless over-the-top scenes, including one at a funeral parlor, will delight longtime fans."

When a Ranger wannabe kidnaps Ranger's daughter, Stephanie Plum is drawn into the search. Believe it or not, she manages to get through the entire book without having her car blown up, burned up, stolen, or otherwise destroyed. Must be a first!

Another great Plum read! I absolutely love the heat between Stephanie, Ranger, and Morelli. I wish I was frustrated woman in that love triangle!!
I really liked this one. It definitely had an interesting twist to the typical "Bad FTA guy goes after Stephanie.
This is by far my favorite book of the series so far. Finally we get to focus in on the life of Ranger (somewhat) and learn a little about him. Twelve Sharp had all of the action, drama and laughs that keep me reading Janet Evanovich's Plum series. Great read!
Julie S. (Stephanie is back at it. Trouble always seems to find this girl and antics ensue. Santa Claus, toy making elves and a struggling rock band make this one of the funniest of the Plum stories yet!
Jami S. (I love the Stephanie Plum books. Each one is better than the last and this one is not exception. Loved it!
The Stephanie Plum series is hilarious. Janet Evanovich combines mystery, insanity, romance, action and a dose of family for a great ride every time. I'm not too much into series' but J.E. is on top of her game.
Great summer read If you like lots of action, laughs and a little sex thrown in!
Donna C. (You can't beat the Plum series. Of all her series' this is my favorite, You can't help but want to meet Ranger and Morelli in person, their characters are so real. Love it!
Janis K. ("Twelve Sharp" is better than Number 11. Stephanie is still a bounty hunter and she still has two men in her life. The humor, sexual tension and danger are all mixed into this novel. A great afternoon escape.
Another great story in the Stephanie Plum series. I love these books and can't seem to stop reading them. I hope she doesn't stop writing them.
Melissa B. (This is a fantastic novel and well worth the read. To date this is my favorite in the Stephanie Plum series. Action-packed, funny, and fully entertaining, I highly recommend this book.
I love this series and 12 Sharp continues to offer the witty account of Stephanie Plum's lifestyle
Kim T. (Love the whole series. These books have made me laugh out loud at times. Truly pleasure reading.
The latest in the Stephanie Plum series. Janet Evanovich just keeps getting better and better. If you like your mysteries mixed with belly-laughs, you'll love this book.
Kelly P. (If I need to tell you about Stephanie Plum & Morelli & Ranger, etc., then you need to start at the beginning of the series!
Another fantastic Stephanie Plum book. Only complaint is that it could have been longer.
Michelle G. (Great addition to the series. Loads of Morelli and Ranger too which always makes for a great read.
Great one as always from Evanovich! Anxiously awaiting #13!
Stephanie has another unforgettable adventure and another struggle with the old "Ranger Vs. Morelli" question. Loved it!
Sandra B. (Her BEST Stephanie Plum book EVER!!!! Will "Lucky Thirteen" be even better????? Who will she end up with? Morelli or Ranger???
A friend gave me this book, it isn't the typical kind of book that I read, but I enjoyed it and laughed all the way from Dallas to LA!! Good humor and funny story. Will be going back to read the others in the series.
Melissa G. (A woman calling herself Carmen Manoso says she is Ranger's wife, and is stalking Stephanie. The adventure begins! Can Stephanie give up on loving both Ranger and Morelli? Can she keep from blowing up a car this time? Loved this book, and can't wait til the next one!
I think this is the best Stephanie Plumb book yet! I read this in one sitting, and LOVED it! I can't wait for the next one!
Jennie B. (This time Ranger is staying at Stephanie's apartment. Oh my!
Excellent. I have not laughed so hard in a long time
Ranger. Ranger. Ranger. Joe's awfully good in this one too, but Mmmm Ranger.
Another good one! However, I would not recommend it if you have not read others in the sequence.
Claudia K. (Another great story by Evanovich. First a stranger appears claiming to be Rangers wife....don't want to give away any more.
Not as laugh out loud funny as the other Plum novels but this one is chock full of Ranger YUMMMMMMMMMMM :-)
(Great book!! I hope Evanovich writes many more books for this series!
I just LOVE this series! Ms. Plum is once again up to her ears in wacko adventures and is still kinda torn between Morelli & Ranger. Fast paced, funny, and just plain fun!
Once again, a book that I can't put down. I can't wait for her next.
Great book - lots of adventure. Can't beat Stephanie Plum for making a person laugh. I woke my husband laughing at Grandma Mazer and her antics. I regret that I could not find the exact ISBN for this book anywhere in the system...but it is the same book and cover.
Janet Evanovich is at it again. Excellent #1 New Your Times Bestseller.
Sheryl V. (The continuing misadventures of Stephanie Plum.
Evanovich is just a fun author to read!!
Summer B. (Classic Plum! I couldn't read in bed because I kept chuckling. Grandma joins a band and Steph winds up with both boyfriends in her apartment!! Loved it.
First book read by this author. Really enjoyed it. Had it read in 3 days.
Ranger has moved in with Stephanie...another good one. Can't wait for #13.
Bonnie S. (Thank God for Lula cuz even Gramma Mazur couldn't save this one!
In a strange twist of fate, Stephanie has to help Ranger solve a mystery and rescue an innocent child. A great read. Some clues as to what her future holds and some sweet moments.
As always this was a good laugh. I am really starting to feel like I'm reading the same book over and over but I still enjoy them.
I love this series! This is another great addition, I couldn't put it down.
This is the latest in the Stephanie Plum series. If you've read this far in the series, you know how much fun they are!
Very good! Can't wait for the next Stephanie Plum book
Diane C. (If you are a fan of Stephanie Plum, you will not be disappointed! We get to see another side of Ranger that we have not seen in previous books! As always, a super fun read!
Great Evanovich! I can't get enough of her. I had to pace myself with "Twelve Sharp" knowing that it will be awhile before Stephanie rolls again.
Allie P. (Loved it, Loved it, Love it. Wish it had gone on longer. How on earth will I make through a whole year without Stephanie & crew? Come on, Number 13!!!
The Barnes & Noble Review
The 12th installment of Janet Evanovich's wildly popular mystery saga featuring the feisty and ever-endearing lingerie buyer turned bounty hunter Stephanie Plum pits the New Jersey bond enforcement agent against her most formidable foe yet: a completely deranged psycho obsessed with one of Plum's two longtime love interests.
Twelve Sharp begins with Plum faced with the usual unsavory duties of a bounty hunter -- tracking down a bevy of criminals who have skipped out on their bail. Targets on her "skip" list include the aptly named Melvin Pickle, a self-proclaimed pervert who is eerily reminiscent of Pee-wee Herman; Mary Lee Truk, a menopausal housewife who stabbed her husband where the sun don't shine; and Caroline Scarzolli, a 72-year-old porn peddler. But Plum's hunt for wayward criminals is rudely interrupted by a crazed, gun-toting woman claiming to be the wife of Ricardo "Ranger" Manoso, the tall, dark, and handsome Cuban-American bounty hunter who, along with Trenton cop Joseph Morelli, make up Plum's love triangle -- one as steamy as it is dysfunctional. After Ranger's alleged wife turns up dead and his estranged daughter is kidnapped, Plum discovers that someone has stolen Ranger's identity and is slowly and systematically taking over his life. Next on the unhinged impostor's list is Ranger's hot girlfriend -- Plum herself.
An enjoyable Stephanie Plum book. If you like the others, you will love all of the crazy characters again!
Christy L. (This was by far my favorite book out of this series! Really, really intense and hilarious - all I can say is she better marry Morelli! Awesome book!
Loved it! Another great book by Evanovich. Typical Plum series. Found myself laughing out loud!!
Read it in just a few hours....couldn't put it down, now I know more about "Ranger" and wanna know more!
If you love Stephanie Plum, it's another great one. Typical and enjoyable right to the end.
I had been growing tired of the "Stephanie Plum" books but this one brought some new life into the series by adding some unexpected danger to the character of Ranger.
not her best but definitely a stefanie plum story
Finally Stephanie is back to her old tricks, but this time she has to rescue Ranger...

Chris L. reviewed on 7/13/2006...I love this series! This time the drama impacts someone very close to Stephanie. You won't be able to put this one down!
Hayley M. (Love this series. I can sum it up in one word. RANGER!!!! LOL
This books flewwwwwww by - seemed a bit too short but had the usual light-hearted sections and hardcore danger. The big crime in this book revolves around Ranger again, so this causes tension for Stephanie's relationship with Morreli as she investigates stuff out of her area of expertise and involving his competition. Less annoying Bob the dog in this book, but plenty of Grandma Mazur and Lulu.
I love Evanovich, but this latest installment into the adventures of hap-hazard Stephanie Plum was not one of her better ones.
Devoured this one in a day! I adore Ranger more and more with every new book. *swoon* ;-)
Another fabulous chapter in the comedy that is Stephanie Plum's life...
Great book in the series.. Stephanie causes mayhem everywhere she goes.. and you always wonder will she chose between Ranger or Joe?
Once again, Janet has written a great book about Stephanie Plum! This one keeps you on the edge of your seat as to what will happen with the two men in her life. Already looking forward to her next book, which I hopes comes sooner than later!
Stephanie's at it again! Another hysterical adventure for her and her friends.
Book 12 in the Stephanie Plum series will keep you up at night reading! I laughed, I cried, and it left me waiting (on pins and needles) for book 13. Fun, crazy read.
