Summary: The Candy Man
Review: Stephanie Plum is back. Working for her cousin Vinnie as a bounty hunter, she goes out on what should be a routine case and discovers it is anything but routine. As bodies pile up, her life is threatened, her hamster is threatened, and her ex-husband is threatened (which is not a bad thing in Stephanie's opinion). She has help along the way from Ranger and Lula, as the case winds to a conclusion.
Uncle Mo seems to be a harmless older man who has been selling ice cream and candy in a small store. Stephanie grew up buying ice cream from Mo, and feels bad about needing to bring him in.
People in the neighborhood think she's a pariah for going after Uncle Mo. But everything is not as it seems. Mo has disappeared, and the search turns up a secret life, not to mention his connection with the murders of drug dealers.
There are a few sidelights, like Ranger trying to get Stephanie into better physical shape; Stephanie's continued problem with vehicles; an occasional appearance of family members; and Stephanie's relationship with Morelli.

Summary: I'd rate it lower if I could
Review: Stephanie's newest job is to find the elusive Mo, patron Saint of the Burg (at least that's what everyone she asks about him tells her). She becomes the hated by family and friends because Vinnie gives her the Uncle Mo hunt!
Steph's usual lineup is in for the ride with her including ex-hooker turned file clerk Lula and Lula's friend/hooker Jackie. The scene in the parking lot with the three of them is enough to have you laughing out loud.
Add in Ranger and Joe and you're in for a wild ride.
She's got people threatening her for looking for Uncle Mo and is fed up with hearing how great he is and add in a Fast food skip that keeps giving her the slip and you just get started. You'll never see those Fast food characters the same way again.
Add in a horrifying day at the beauty shop and Stephanie is ready to go on a rampage of her own.This volume is funnier and you can't wait for what happens around each corner. As always Janet Evanovich brings us a Stephanie Plum book that keeps you glued in for the duration of the book and waiting to find out what happens in the next volume and the next. She's got the gift of keeping us captivated by Stephanie and the gang.
Now, it's just a matter of waiting for each new book for our next Stephanie Plum adventure and well worth it!

Summary: Nineteen Bad Hair Days...And Counting
Review: The hilarious family-tied bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum is back is the third book in Janet Evanovich's series. In this one, Stephanie finally makes some progress. Stephanie Plum, the lingerie buyer turned bounty hunter, is after "Uncle Mo," the local candy store operator, known by everybody in the neighborhood as the man with the biggest heart. Uncle Mo skips his court appearance for carrying a concealed weapon, and Stephanie, against her better wishes, goes after him to get him to "reschedule." Mo is nowhere to be found, and the body count of the local drug dealers around his store continues to rise. Stephanie gets no help from the locals, seeing as how they all think he deserves a medal. Throw in her off-and-on flirtations with Joe Morelli, her seemingly wacky impulse shopping sprees and mounting car woes, and you have one entertaining mystery novel. Stephanie is at her finest in this book, despite her hair troubles, and lack of a sex life. But that's what makes her New Jersey's most unconventional bounty hunter. Lula, the prostitute turned file clerk, has a much greater voice in this novel, and she truly adds color to the story with her witty dialogue. Police officer Joe Morelli and fellow skip trcaer Ranger are back again to add some professionalism to Stephanie's life, and of course, what would this book truly be without her clan of family in the background. Dinner time just wouldn't be the same. The book flows at a blistering pace, and Evanovich's cogent writing style is peppered with just the right amount of humor. The plot has its fair share of twists and turns, and the storyline maintains its interest throughout. The suspense is outstanding. It is hard not to enjoy this book.
