It had been a long time since I read a Stephanie Plum book. A couple years, even. It's not that I don't love Stephanie, Grandma Mazur, Lula, Ranger, Morelli, and Co, but I guess I just got burnt out. Anyway, I was sick and needed a good escapist read, so I ordered this on my Kindle. In the eighth book in the series, Stephanie and Morelli are on the outs and Ranger is threatening to cash in on their "deal". Stephanie's parents' next door neighbor, Mabel Markowitz, is about to lose her house because she put it up as collateral for her granddaughter, Evelyn's, custody bond, and now Evelyn and her daughter Annie have disappeared. Stephanie starts to search for Evelyn and Annie and runs afoul of bad guy Eddie Abruzzi. A fun, slightly dark (for Stephanie), read, pretty typical of the series, and just what the doctor ordered. Three and a half stars.
