Another really amusing and interesting book. There are several points at which I had to crack up (which I don't recommend doing on a treadmill). What struck me in this book is the character development. Obviously you see some characters more than others, but it's really interesting to see quiet characters like Stephanie's mother. Evanovich doesn't spend a lot of time telling you what Stephanie's thinking about her relationships (perhaps some more than others, arguably, especially when she talks about her family) but I saw a lot of reflection in this book, with the majority focused around her up-and-down relationship with Joe Morelli. The more I read these books, the more I find Stephanie Plum to be a likable character. A bounty hunter who sees FTAs who really aren't bad people and treats them like she would want to be treated, I expect. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
