Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum’s life is set to blow sky high when international murder hits dangerously close to home, in this dynamite novel by Janet Evanovich.

Before Stephanie can even step foot off Flight 127 Hawaii to Newark, she’s knee deep in trouble. Her dream vacation turned into a nightmare, and she’s flying back to New Jersey solo. Worse still, her seatmate never returned to the plane after the L.A. layover. Now he’s dead—and a ragtag collection of thugs and psychos, not to mention the FBI, are all looking for a photograph he was supposed to be carrying.

Only one person has seen the missing photo—Stephanie Plum. Now she’s the target. An FBI sketch artist helps Stephanie re-create the person in the photo, but the first try looks more like Tom Cruise. Until Stephanie can improve her descriptive skills, she’ll need to watch her back.

Over at the bail bonds agency things are going from bad to worse. Vinnie’s temporary HQ has gone up in smoke. Stephanie’s wheelman, Lula, falls for their largest skip yet. Lifetime arch nemesis Joyce Barnhardt moves into Stephanie’s apartment. And everyone wants to know what happened in Hawaii?

Morelli, Trenton’s hottest cop, isn’t talking about Hawaii. Ranger, the man of mystery, isn’t talking about Hawaii. And all Stephanie is willing to say about her Hawaiian vacation is . . . It’s complicated.

One more fun read, Explosive Eighteen by Janet Evanovich. Get it today!

July 4, 2017

Format: Mass Market PaperbackVerified Purchase

It is amazing that Janet Evanovich continues to get a little more creative when she writes, Explosive Eighteen is better than some of her previous novels. Stephanie Plum is more aggressive in this funny, no hilarious book! And Lula? Well, Lula is just good ol' Lula. Whamm again and again with her. She is in heat over a new guy that is not very law abiding. As for Vinnie, once again he is on the brink of disaster. The office is being rebuilt after a fire that began how? Their temporary office, a motor home, also some how goes up in flames. Stephanie keeps up with Morelli and Ranger. There are those that want Stephanie gone but why? What is this "photo" that suddenly appears In her purse and why? Read this fun filled book and you'll find out! Rated PG. Strong language. DP. Castro Valley, CA.

Stephanie Plum is always there

March 3, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

As usual, I really enjoyed the book. It was entertaining and amusing. It's always nice to know that when I need to read something that's not cerebral, Stephanie Plum is there.

Ranger and Morelli finally come to blows. I knew it would happen eventually and who knows, maybe it will again. Grandma Mazur was uncharacteristically well behaved considering. Stephanie gets sucked into some cloak and dagger mystery on her way home from Hawaii. It gets her some stalkers and one crazy dude that wants to "kill her good". In this book, we find that when she feels threatened she can definitely put a hurtin' on someone. Go Steph!

I still find it amusing that so many reviewers complain about the series being stagnant, but still continue to read. Nothing is going to change. If it does, I can only imagine the series will be over. I must admit, I would like to see Stephanie become a bit more adept (i.e. lock picking, gun handling). With that perpetual black cloud hanging over her head, her apprehensions and her life in general would still be hilarious.

I'm loyal... but getting bored...

January 12, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I still enjoy this series, but I definitely don't jump on these quite as fast as I used to. After 18 books, there's little about them that's fresh or new. In fact, it's getting downright redundant. How many cars will get blown up? How will the latest skip elude her? How many donuts or buckets of chicken will she and Lulu go through? Who is she or Lulu going to shoot this time? How ridiculous is Lulu's latest outfit/diet/boyfriend? How many times will Ranger and/or Joe rescue her, and which one (or both) will she sleep with? Her mom is going to iron, cook, drink, and worry. Her dad is going to hide out in the living room or ignore everyone at dinner. And Grandma Mazur is going to do inappropriate things at funerals and just generally be shocking. Oh, and someone, or maybe multiple someones, are going to break in to her apartment. Connie will file her nails, Vinnie will be suspected of commiting heinous acts with farm animals, and Joyce will slither in and out as needed.

Seriously. If you tell the same joke 18 times, don't be surprised if your audience just yawns.

I used to gobble these up like candy, but lately I find they're not at the top of my list anymore. And yet they're still priced over the $9.99 benchmark... I think I'll start checking them out at the library instead of paying for them.

Fun Read

May 3, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Like watching silly comedies, or movies, these books are meant to entertain . . . period! Of course these Stephanie Plum novels are written to a formula, and that is the whole point! I know what to expect and I know when to laugh. The characters are always who they are; from mom and her bottle and iron, to Rex and his soup can . . . we know who they are and what they do. . . . and we always get that sense of stability and familiarity that we long for in life from these books.

My own life is full of stress and pain and though I love to read heavier, more thoughtful classics, I am attracted to stories like this for my emotional retreat. I will never have to get too attached to any of these characters (except for Rex) because they don't demand it! While reading these stories, I never have to solve the world's problems or feel guilty because I haven't done enough, in my lifetime, to clean up ALL the messes humankind has left behind . . . instead I can rejoice in glee every time Stephanie fails at a capture and marvel at Lula and her brand of wisdom or her latest "diet" . . . I can be secretly attracted to Ranger and adore the bizarre Grandma Mazur . . . and I always expect a spectacular vehicle explosion. There is always a bit of a mystery but not one that breaks my brain at the end of a hot day at work . . . I can read and go along with the flow of the story . . . and when the end comes all too soon, I am satisfied and ready for the next installment.

I hope that Stephanie never makes a choice between one or the other of her guys . . . I think she should be free to be herself . . . never becoming like her mother . . . barefoot in the kitchen . . . eyeing the cupboard with the hidden bottle of whiskey, but remaining a character with hidden dreams of walking from one day to the next while maintaining a personal integrity of freedom.

I appreciate this style of entertainment . . . simple and funny with no surprises . . . yet charged with a certain measure of hope that it will all work out in the end. . . because it always does.
