After suffering a blow to the head and awakening next to a dead body, intrepid private eye Stephanie Plum finds herself at the top of the Trenton police's suspect list, being shot at by mysterious masked thugs and searching for a missing ice cream vendor.
Reviews
In the latest from a mystery writer whose first effort (One for the Money, LJ 7/94) won a slew of awards and got nominated for more, snazzy-looking P.I. Stephanie Plum is targeted by both vicious thugs and the Trenton police when she searches for an ice cream vendor who skipped out on his bond.
Trenton, N.J., bounty hunter and former lingerie buyer Stephanie Plum (last seen in Two for the Dough) becomes persona non grata when she tracks down a neighborhood saint who has failed to show up for his court appearance. No one wants to help Stephanie, who works for her bail-bondsman cousin, Vinnie. While questioning admirers of the man nicknamed Uncle Mo, Stephanie is attacked and knocked out as she cases his candy store. She comes to next to the dead body of her attacker, who turns out to be a well-known drug dealer. Suddenly, she can't avoid stumbling across the bodies of dead drug dealers: one in a dumpster, one in a closet and four in the candy store basement. Stephanie suspects that mild-mannered Mo has become a vigilante and is cleaning up the streets in a one-man killing spree. But when she's repeatedly threatened by men wearing ski masks, she wonders if Mo has company and just might be in over his head. Despite her new clownish orange hair job, Stephanie muddles through another case full of snappy one-liners as well as corpses. By turns buttressed and hobbled by her charmingly clueless family and various cohorts (including streetwise co-worker Lulu, detective and heartthrob Morelli and professional bounty hunter Ranger), the redoubtable Stephanie is a character crying out for a screen debut. Mystery Guild selection; Literary Guild alternate; major ad/promo; author tour. (Feb.)

I read the first two in the Stephanie Plum series, and they were good, but then I read the third one and I'm totally hooked! This book had me laughing out loud, even on the peak hour train. It's funny, it sizzles and is highly entertaining. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.
Want a book you can’t put down? Want to laugh out loud until you are sure you’ve busted a stitch? Then meet Stephanie Plum. Not only is she hopeless at her job and love life, her family is always there to remind her how bad her life is. When you have to investigate the disappearance of a man you are meant to bring back into custody and the entire town is against you doing so you know your job sucks. Laugh out loud and feel on top of the world with this fluffy read that is for every taste. The third in a series of many cleverly intriguing reads.
The third of the Stephanie Plum novels, this is crime fun at it's best! I loved these books so much I read them all in 12 days straight, one after the other! Going through cars as fast as most people go through hot dinners, Stephanie is down on her luck when she blackmails her cousin into employing her in his bond agency as a bounty hunter. What follows is a fast paced race to get her man... but which one will she choose? Will it be Ranger, dark bounty hunter, or will it be bad boy cop Joe Morelli?
Yet another great addition to the Plum series
she is fun, she is flitry, she has a bad habit of having her cars blow up. yes she is Stephanie plum! Not only does she love donuts and have a hamster named rex and currently driving her grandfathers buick. but there are not one but two gorgeous men in her life, the bad boy turned cop morelli and the bad boy turned.....well badder boy with good intentions Ranger. You'll laugh, you'll drool but most of all you will love this book!
