Not the best out of the ones I have read so far. But looking forward to the next one!

4 solid stars.
I just love this series and I think it keeps getting better and better.
Also, super stoked to see Stephanie and Morelli finally get together.
One of my favorite series that I want to keep reading. Off to request the next book!

Audiobook read by C J Critt
3.5***
This is book four in the popular Stephanie Plum series. Stephanie’s still pretty inept at her job, her romance with Morelli is heating up, she’s responsible for a couple of cars blowing up, Grandma Mazur is as nuts as ever, Steph gets a new “partner” in a cross-dressing leader of a rock band, and she tangles with rival bounty hunter Joyce Barnhardt.
The earlier books in the series are very entertaining, but I lost interest after about book 12. I re-read this one because it’s fast, enjoyable and fits a challenge.
C J Critt is barely passable reading the audio book. Her delivery is S L O W … with L O N G pauses at scene breaks. I also didn’t like the voices she used for most of the characters. This should be a fast, snappy delivery. I recommend reading the text instead of listening.
NOTE - I originally read this long before I had joined Shelfari or Goodreads, so never had recorded it ... the first date read is a wild guess based on having listed book 11 in the series as read in 2006.

One of my favorite Stephanie Plum’s so far. I keep saying that and I have a feeling that it’s only going to keep getting better. I keep hearing High Five is pretty awesome. At this rate maybe I’ll just be all caught up by the end of the year.
This time Stephanie is in search of a woman, Maxine, who stole her ex-boyfriends car and didn’t show up for her court date. Seems easy, except all the people around Maxine start losing limbs and blood and no one can figure out why. Meanwhile, Stephanie has new compatition as Vinny hires a new bounty hunter, Joyce, who is Stephanie’s worst enemy.
Things definitely have their ups and downs quite often in this adventure as Stephanie spends time living between three homes, using multiple cars, and almost dying a couple as well. It’s all in a days work.
Loved it. Can’t wait to pick up the next.

I do like Stephanie Plum--the language is just a little colorful for my sensitivities--thus 2 stars.
