GENRE: Mystery – Humor
ANNOTATION: Someone wants to kill Vinnie, but who? Stephanie Plum and the gang are on the case!
SUMMARY: Nobody likes sleazy Vinnie, owner of Vincent Plum Bail Bonds and both cousin and employer to bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum. But when he’s abducted and held for ransom due to his high stakes gambling debts, the business in jeopardy. Stephanie, Lula, and Connie, with the occasional help of Rangeman, must save him from a group of local mobsters. Meanwhile, Stephanie dances the line between part-time boyfriend Joe Morelli and dark and dangerous Ranger. Complete with hilarious mishaps and lots of laughs, this page-turning book is a riot. Along the way, the gang facilitate a cow stampede, encounters an alligator, and are assisted by a group of hobbits. No mishap impossible for Stephanie Plum but luck always saves the day.
EVALUATION: 5 - Janet Evanovich brings her best in this laugh-out-loud hilarious addition to the Stephanie Plum collection. The sometimes jaded sexual tension in the Stephanie, Morelli, Ranger triangle takes a backburner to plot and action for a genuinely funny and unique story.
