Although I had pretty much guessed the outcome of this book early on, it was still a great read. Any time the love triangle between Stephanie, Morelli and Ranger is focused on I am in heaven. And the more danger Stephanie is in, the better those tensions get. Plus this book had the added bonus of a trip to Vegas, which was fun to read about since I live there. Although there were no cars damaged by Steph's bad luck, Ranger's crew getting banged up by her natural ability to be in the middle o

Nine, I made it to Nine, but alas, I think this is where Stephanie and I must part ways, for the time being at least. Stephanie is once again, the object of some mad man’s sadistic fantasies, but I must confess, I have grown tired of the crime solving scenarios. I’m in this series for three things, Morelli, Ranger, and Lula, the ex ho turned file clerk/ purse welding mo fo. On these fronts, Evanovich did not disappoint. There were some steamy lines, some oogley eyes, and Lula has decided to tur

Maybe best Stephanie Plum yet in 9-book series!
We've read all the author's books about Trenton-based bounty hunter Plum, and had feared we were tired of them when in "Seven" and "Eight" the stories seemed weak and the humor forced. "Nines" corrects that with a real pleaser -- plenty of natural humor, an almost gripping plot putting Steph in real danger, and lots of sexual tension with Ranger and Morelli.

In the ninth book of the series, Stephanie Plum is after Samuel Singh, a Indian man living and working in Jersey on a visa bond. He seems to have gone missing, only a week before he is scheduled to return home. Not that this is unusual, as his boss explains; many of the foreign temporary workers that he hires get a taste of the American life, and want to stick around. But then there are the flowers that get delivered to Stephanie, with the not-so-sweet notes. And the photographs of dead people!

I liked this book because I'm a Stephanie Plum fan but the only thing stopping me from giving my customary 4 stars is that this book seemed to be a little thin on plot. It had a good premise but to me it sort of petered out. This one of the books where I knew who dunnit before Steph did.

I love the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum books. Steph is possibly the world's worst bounty hunter, working for her cousin Vinnie. Her on-off relationship with cop Joe Morelli, who would really like her to become a housewife, or at least stop being a bounty hunter provides a constant source of witty one liners as does her 'would like to but daren't' relationship with Ranger, a fellow bounty hunter, but probably the best around. Certainly, between Ranger and Morelli, Steph manages to emerge unsca

The heroine of these books is Stephanie Plum, an inept bounty hunter from Jersey employed by her cousin Vinnie. In this book Vinnie branches out to include visa bonds in his bail bonds business. As soon as he issues one, the person in question skips out on the bond, and it's up to Stephanie and Ranger to track him down.

I did however pretty much guess who the baddie was. Okay, I'll admit I had it narrowed down to 2 people, and one of them was correct. The other would have been a good "twist" as well.

Jersey Girl Stephanie Plum is back and she's looking for a missing Indian man named Samuel Singh. Stephanie works for her bailbondsman cousin Vinnie. "Vinnie sat on a rotting branch of my family tree." He's a pervert, a con man and a paranoid grouch. He's like Louie De Palma on TV's Taxi. Vinnie wrote the bond ensuring that Singh would leave the country when his work visa expired. Now that Singh's missing (along with Boo the Cockapoo), Vinnie's in a tailspin and assigns Stephanie to wo

I must admit that I wasn't completely convinced that I'd enjoy this book once I started reading it. There was nothing in it that really caught my attention. Mind you, it's the first Evanovich novel I've ever read (I was told you don't have to go in order!!), so perhaps had I started fromt the first, I'd feel differently.
Anyway, turns out that I did in fact like the book. I very much enjoyed her love-triangle-esque relationship with Ranger and Morelli (stil can't decide which I like more...) More...

Nine books and going strong; I really can't believe how much I am still enjoying this series. The Stephanie Plum adventures all follow a certain formula that can make them slightly repetitive plot-wise, but heck, I don't care! The escapades and the characters involved make it all worth it.
Although this was the first Plum mystery I solved before Stephanie did, I still read through with lightning speed to confirm my suspicions. However, I did decide there is something new to love (I se More...

This was nother great Stephanie Plum adventure. While she did not destroy any cars in this one (shocker, she was still driving the same car at the end of the book as at the beginning), she did ruin some of Ranger's men (one with a broken leg, another with a concussion). This book centered around the capture of Samuel Singh, who Vinnie had bonded on a work visa. When he disappeared, he sent Ranger and Stephanie to find him. While they found Singh dead in Las Vegas, someone is stalking Stephanie.

My ratings system is as follows. One star is GOOD. The book is entertaining, easy to read and you don't want to stop reading because something about the book is compelling you not to. Two stars is GREAT! This time the story is not only entertaining, but highly creative, unique, easy to read and hard to put down. Three stars is EXCELLENT. Here the book has all aspects of one and two stars, but now the book is thought and emotionally provoking. Four is AWESOME. This is the read that is not onl

The mystery surrounding the missing person in this book isn't so much who did it - sorry Janet, that was a bit obvious - but how/why. It took 'til at least three quarters of the way through and memories of some wierd film whose name I can't remember to work that one out. The villan is pretty creepy though and the last bit ... urgh!

I checked this out as an audio book a couple weeks ago when there was a pretty limited selection. I vaguely remembered reading some of the series a few years back and thought I'd give it another go. Well, lets just say I was extremely grateful to get the library notification that the OTHER audio book I'd put on hold had come in. I'm not sure why I read this series in the past, it strikes me as mostly irritating and racy now. I think my taste in books has changed over the years and I have realize

While not a very distinct difference than the other 15 or so Plum novels, I did feel Evanovich put more than the usual effort into this one in drawing the characters out. Same general story line (Stephanie Plum draws a skip, somehow ends up in her own trouble, blows up a car, had family issues, can't decide between Morelli and Ranger...), but just seemed to have more heart than normal. If skipping amongst the books, definitely stop on this one.

With the advent of "Explosive Eighteen" I am now halfway thru Stephanie Plum's numbered novels. I keep thinking Evanovich can't get any funnier, and then she goes and does it anyway. So many of her characters--Stephanie included--are outrageous, yet each one has nuances. Stephanie included. I'm in awe with this series. However, if I'd picked up this book without having read the preceding ones, I'm wondering if I just might have put it back as being too outrageous. But the characters ha

Of course Stephanie and Lula bungle everything they attempt, there is the usual sexual tension between Stephanie, Morelli, and Ranger.
