Stephanie Plum may not be the best bounty hunter in beautiful downtown Trenton, but she's pretty darn good at turning bad siuations her way...and she always gets her man. In To the Nines, her cousin Vinnie has posted bail on Samuel Singh. When the elusive Mr. Singh violates his visa bond and goes missing, Stephanie is on the case. But what she uncovers is far more sinster than anyone imagined and leads to a group of killers who give new meaning to the word "hunter"

This entire series from Jane Evanovich are quite enjoyable. They all include a little romance, a little mystery, a little family conflict. The characters are well developed and just plain fun. They are light reading and the only books that make me laugh out loud. This one is no different.

Stephanie Plum's got rent to pay, people shooting at her, and psychos wanting her dead every day of the week (much to the dismay of her mother, her family, the men in her life, the guy who slices meat at the deli...oh, the list goes on). An ordinary person would cave under the pressure.

But hey, she's from Jersey.

9th book in the Stephanie Plum series. Stephanie has rent to pay and people shooting at her. Psychos wanting her dead much to the dismay of her mother. Grandma Mazur is a hoot as always. And the men in her life are both so hot -- Ranger and Morelli. I hope Janet Evanovich never stops this series.

Bobbi H. (golfergirl) reviewed on 11/10/2006...


"My same is Stephanie Plum and I was born and raised in the Chambersburg section of Trenton, where the top male activities are scarfing pastries and pork rinds and growing ass hair." Within pages of this elegant introduction, the less-than-stellar bounty hunter Stephanie Plum has managed to haul in a fat, naked and, yes, furry "skip" who has greased himself up with Vaseline to literally give her the slip. In the midst of taking him to the police station, however, Plum drops everything to help her beloved Grandma Mazur, who calls to say that Stephanie's mom locked herself in the bathroom to escape the craziness of the Plum family. Finally, Plum checks in at the office, where her employer and cousin, the bailbondsman Vinnie, assigns her back-up duty on the thorny case of a missing Indian man, Samuel Singh. Vinnie previously wrote a bond ensuring that Singh would leave the country when his visa expired, so the latter's disappearance drives Vinnie to call in the devastatingly attractive Ranger, his star enforcer, and assign Stephanie to help him. The mysterious Ranger has long competed with the equally sexy Morelli to be the object of Plum's desire, so his presence-just as Plum has temporarily moved in with Morelli-keeps the sexual tension high.

Beth G. (BethG) - Hillsville, VA reviewed on 5/28/2006...


In this book, wonder of wonders, Stephanie manages not to destroy a single car, a few dents, but nothing beyond repair.

She does however become the target of a serial killer, wrestled a naked man greased up with Vaseline, go to Vegas with Connie and Lula, and get shot, twice, with tranquilizer darts like they use on zoo animals, and beat up a would be killer while her sister is giving birth to a baby.

Oh, I should mention that though she didn’t destroy any cars, she did disable three of Ranger's men, disable as in send them to the hospital.

In other words, it is a great book with lots of laughs.

It's not great literature, but for a fun escapist read, you can't beat Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. I laughed out loud a number of times, prompting strange looks from the people on the bus...

I love Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels. I lived in the Trenton, NJ area for close to 25 years and have a great fondness for the books and the area through Stephanie. She is a real Trenton NJ Girl! She may not be the best bounty hunter - especially when her side kick Lula tags along, but she tries pretty darn hard - and what's a girl to do when shes got sexy Joe Morelli the cop on one hand and HOT Ranger the best bounty hunter ever on the other? Not to mention trying to bring in her bounty so she can pay her rent and not get another car blown up! Stephanie Plum is always a merry ride and a fast read!

Laurie S. (LaurieS) reviewed on 7/25/2005...


I liked this one well enough but the first few books still remain my favorites of this long running series.

From Publisher's Weekly:

The story opens with the outrageous apprehension of a nude, Vaseline-coated fugitive by Stephanie and her plus-sized, ex-hooker, "sometimes partner" Lula. Soon after, Stephanie sets off on the trail of Samuel Singh, an illegal immigrant who apparently fled a Visa bond and his fiancee. With plenty of prior experience narrating Evanovich titles (Hard Eight, etc.), King has no trouble highlighting the eccentricities of the author's invariably quirky cast of characters, as well as the ongoing romantic triangle between Stephanie, her sexy partner Ranger and Joe, a Trenton cop with whom she shares a "long, strange history." Evanovich's quick-witted, sarcastic and often raunchy dialogue takes the edge off the story's suspense

If you like klutzy folk who end up getting their man, this series is for you.
