DESCRIPTION:
Warren A. Lewis said Too Funny!. Number 7 in this now huge series had me laughing harder than the first six put together. Toward the end the humor eases off and the seriousness of the plot takes center stage. Stephanie is chasing one of Grandma's old dates, and possesses "too much information" on him. Dougie, a friend, disappears. Then Moonie, from the last book, disappears. Finally, Grandma Mazur is kidnapped, all because the bail jumper thinks Steph. COULDN'T STAND TANYA EBY AS THE AUDIO READER (I wrote the first part of this review when the book was first released on audio in 2002. However, I added a revision to the end of this review in 2005. I just wanted to explain why I am criticizing one audiobook reader while recommending another, for the same book.)First of all, I want to make it clear that I love Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. They are unlike any series I have ever read & strongly recommend. "Formulaic, but with a twist or two" according to Amanda Richards. While this series continues to be witty and amusing, some of the novelty has worn off the bumbling bounty hunter, and you wonder if she's ever going to learn how to deal with her daily life, her job, her romantic life and her family.As usual, her cousin Vinnie gives her an assignment that looks easy, but ends up being a lot more trouble than Stephanie anticipates. As usual, she and Joe Morelli are great together until
When DeCooch fails to show for a court appearance, bond enforcement agent Stephanie Plum is assigned the task of finding him and dragging his decrepit ass back to jail. When Mooner disappears, she calls in the heavy artillery and asks master bounty hunter Ranger for help. Ranger's price for the job? One night with Stephanie, dusk to dawn. Grandma Mazur is asking questions about being a lesbian, and Bob, the bulimic dog, is eating everything in sight--including the furniture.Mud wrestling, motorcycles, fast cars, fast food, and fast men. It's Seven Up. Not such an easy job, it turns out, since DeCooch has learned a lot of tricks over the years and isn't afraid to use his gun. They've gotten sucked into an operation that is much more than simple cigarette smuggling and holds risks far greater than anyone could have imagined.When Dougie disappears, Steph goes into search mode. Semiretired mob guy Eddie DeCooch is caught trafficking contraband cigarettes through Trenton, New Jersey. Not information she's want to share with her sometime live-in roommate, vice cop Joe Morelli,A typical dilemma in the world of Plum.And on the homefront, Stephanie's "per
In Seven Up, Janet Evanovich serves up her usual bubbly fare: a totaled car, raucous viewings at Stiva's Funeral Parlor, buffoonish bad guys, and down-and-dirty mud wrestling, all stirred up with some snappy Jersey repartee and a few tart, new twists that will keep her fans impatient. A lot of chocolate. How does cigarette smuggler Eddie DeChooch, a fugitive so geriatric that even the hot-to-trot Grandma Mazur won't go out with him a third time, keep giving her the slip? How did a woman who died of a heart attack end up in DeChooch's garden shed with five bullet holes in her chest? Who stole a rump roast from Dougie and Mooner, the two lovable potheads who have decid
