It's been awhile since I've read this series. I missed it!
An impressive amount of havoc even for Plum! I was surprised at the amount of sex in the book (not in a bad way), normally evanovich makes a passing mention once or twice in a given book and Plum is with one guy (either Morelli or Ranger) so this was great, hilarious and surprising. I love Grandma Morelli's role in all of the ridiculous and the fact that both Morelli and Ranger just kind of go along with whatever.
I'm curious to see where Plums guilt trips will take her.

This series is always a good go-to when I want to be entertained and laugh.
Hadn't checked in on Stephanie Plum in quite a while. You know what you're getting when you open it - the Lucy & Ethel from Jersey. Fun enough escape.
Stephanie Plum arrives at her cousin Vinnie’s temporary new job site, only to find her boyfriend, Joe Morelli there. Joe is not here to see Stephanie. There is a dead body. Stephanie and her friend Lula are on the case.
Murder stands in no way of Stephanie’s family’s quest to find Stephanie a good man, even if that means someone other than her boyfriend, Joe or her lover, Ranger.
There were some funny moments to be found in this book that I would find myself stopping for a moment to read my husband a line in the book. For example there was the moment when Lula accidentally shot off a possible suspect’s toe. I must admit that I have not followed this series that closely. I have only read a couple of books. Though, this might have been an advantage or disadvantage. Whichever way you look at it. I say this because this book seems to have a lot of mixed reviews. A lot bad and a lot good. While, I am sure I might feel the way some of the readers did with the three star or less reviews, if I had followed this series but since I had not, I did not see a problem with this book and enjoyed it. This book was on the lighter side of the mystery/suspense spectrum. There was not a lot of blood and gore. If I had to choose between Joe and Ranger, I would have to go with Joeger. This is a combination of Joe and Ranger. Joe is sweet and loves Stephanie but on the other hand Ranger is the bad boy, who you can guarantee you will not get bored with. Stephanie is too independent to be tied down to just the one guy and needs both guys to equally even her out. Now, that I have read this book, I do plan to go back and check out the other books that I have missed.

I am a sucker for Stephanie Plum books and this one did not disappoint! There are a few in the series that fall flat a little, but not this one. This is a guilty pleasure and a definite summer-read!
Listen to audio...a riot! 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.
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.

finished it. not her best. really tired of seeing so little character growth and what feels like the same basic storyline... again.
Maybe just because it's been a while, but I particularly enjoyed this installation in the Stephanie Plum series. Some very funny scenes and some great hijinks with her best guys.
The Stepanie Plum series is likened to eating cotton candy! It's a fun read with enjoyable characters. Grama Mazur is the bomb!!!
