What’s Stephanie up to now?
Her Uncle Fred has disappeared. A body turns up in a garbage bag. She’s got a nasty bookie following her around town. Grandma Mazur has her hands on the stun gun. Stephanie can’t keep a car for more than forty-eight hours. Two men are trying to get her into bed. She has nothing to wear to the Mafia wedding. And there’s an angry little man (don’t call him a dwarf!) who won’t leave her apartment.
Bail jumping in Trenton is down to small potatoes. Stephanie’s only open case is a small bond for a small violation, committed by a small person who raises Stephanie’s frustration level in big ways. So short of money and long on bills, Stephanie comes up with a plan-–diversify! Signing on as an intern with entrepreneurial Super Bounty Hunter Ranger, Stephanie ventures into Ranger’s mostly morally correct and marginally legal operations.
None of this makes vice cop Joe Morelli a happy man. The cop in him can’t help but wonder as to the source of Stephanie’s expensive new cars. And the rest of him, the man who’s been friend and lover to Stephanie, can’t help but wonder if there’s more to the partnership than meets the eye.
The internship is downgraded to second priority when Uncle Fred goes missing. Even though Grandma Mazur is sure he was abducted by aliens, Stephanie sets out to look for Fred. He’s a perfectly average senior citizen, and he’s disappeared without a trace while running errands. He’s left his ten-year-old Pontiac station wagon locked up nice and neat in the Grand Union parking lot, the cleaning is carefully arranged on the back seat, and his wife is at home, waiting for him to return with the bread and the milk and the olive loaf bologna. Locked in the top drawer of his desk are photos of a body, dismembered and stuffed into a garbage bag. And locked away in the computer files of a another average citizen are the clues that will lead Stephanie to Fred.
My Review:
I enjoyed this book so much! It was just so entertaining, it was a Stephanie Plum book! And I just enjoyed it so freaking much! Of course, there is car damaging, and romance, and yeah, finding her Uncle Fred, a mystery that is much deeper then it seems!
Between Morelli and Ranger, well, that's enough guy for any lady! And yeah, Stephanie definitely has her hands full with the 2 of them! And I wonder if she's ever going to chose between them, or if that's going to be at the end of the series, like J.D. Robb said that Eve getting pregnant or something alone those lines would be the ending of the In Death series!
Ramirez, from the first book, is out on bail. There's a guy named Bunchie following her. There's only one bail jumper. So yeah, money is tight, and then adding in the mystery of her Uncle Fred, well, that covers the other side of Stephanie's plate!
I enjoyed that ending, it was a nice wrap up to the mystery, yeah, it was just really good, and I enjoyed it a lot! And then those last few pages, when she asks the guy in to look at her dress, I'm pretty sure I know who that is!
This book was just so good, loved reading it, and I can't wait to read more!
