Stephanie Plum is fed up with chasing fugitives, so she quits her job as a bounty hunter and applies for a more sensible job as the button factory. Unfortunately, trouble has a way of following Stephanie as she finds someone has beaten her car with a baseball bat, shot holes though her car, set the backseat on fire and finally blows up her car yet again. Not only that, but she manages to get fired from one job after another - often with spectacular results. And the competition between Joe Morelli and Ranger ratchets up a notch as they both fight to make sure she stays alive. Now Stephanie is definitely in trouble, and the only way for her to stay alive is to use her bounty hunting skills to track down the person who wants her dead before they succeed in killing her.
Stephanie is back again with the usual cast of characters and is funnier than ever. There’s a lot of good sexual tension between Stephanie and Joe and quiet a bit of tension between Stephanie and Ranger. The only problem I had with this book was I wished Janet had written another couple of hundred pages. If you haven’t read one of these books, you should start at the beginning with One for the Money and work your way up as there is a lot of history that you should really know. But for a real Stephanie Plum fan, my only thought is why haven’t you read the book yet?
Details: St. Martins, June 2006
Bottom line: A great book
