About this ebook

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich: Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and no one knows this better than New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum!
 
“The most popular mystery writer alive.”—The New York Times

Dead bodies are showing up in shallow graves on the empty construction lot of Vincent Plum Bail Bonds. No one is sure who the killer is, or why the victims have been offed, but what is clear is that Stephanie’s name is on the killer’s list.

Short on time to find evidence proving the killer’s identity, Stephanie faces further complications when her family and friends decide that it’s time for her to choose between her longtime off-again-on-again boyfriend, Trenton cop Joe Morelli, and the bad boy in her life, security expert Ranger. Stephanie’s mom is encouraging Stephanie to dump them both and choose a former high school football star who’s just returned to town. Stephanie’s sidekick, Lula, is encouraging Stephanie to have a red-hot boudoir “bake-off.” And Grandma Bella, Morelli’s old-world grandmother, is encouraging Stephanie to move to a new state when she puts “the eye” on Stephanie.

With a cold-blooded killer after her, a handful of hot men, and a capture list that includes a dancing bear and a senior citizen vampire, Stephanie’s life looks like it’s about to go up in smoke.

Ratings and reviews

BOTTOM-LINE: Another fun read, but not that amazing a plot . PLOT OR PREMISE: Bodies are popping up on the construction lot for the new bonds office, and somehow it all connects to Stephanie. . WHAT I LIKED: While figuring out who is using the site as a body farm, they also get to arrest an old vampire, deal with a culinary matchmaking option, a bear, and Stephanie's libido in overdrive. . WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: Yet again, the premise is that creepy stalker dudes are amusing. And a solution that relies on the killer revealing all. . DISCLOSURE: I received no compensation, not even a free copy, in exchange for this review. I am not personal friends with the author, nor do I follow her on social media.

Saw the movie ....was great you need to more of Stephanie plumb

Always a fun ride with Stephanie and Lulu.
