Summary: Formulaic
Review: I took "Three" and "Four" on a cruise expecting two treats. Instead what I got from this one was pure boredom. Perhaps it is inevitable that a series becomes a matter of filling in the blanks. In this case, what started out with a bang has become a predictable succession of events. Sure, many of these are humorous but we all know by now that Stephanie will endure her parents, Grandma will act strange, Joe will flirt and Lula will holler. The series needs a little "oomph" to keep going. The story was also not one of the best.

Summary: This Series has the Best LOL books!
Review: In this third book in the series, Three to Get Deadly, begins as Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter is given the job to pick up Mo Bedemier. Uncle Mo, as he's known in the neighborhood, who owns an ice-cream parlor/candy store. Uncle Mo has missed his court appearance and seems to have left town. The case soon develops into attacks by strange anti-drug vigilantes, murdered men and porno films. Stephanie also has to bring in a kid who works in a fast food store, this whole line in the story is very, very funny. Running through the story is the question of whether Stephanie is going to retreat into eating all of her meals at her parent's house, move in with Joe Morelli, and give up on chasing bad guys and get a job at the button factory. Stephanie's independence prevails she gets her man (all of them) and lives to fight another day. This is my favorite series and look forward to each one. They never fail to deliver the mystery, the good times and the LOL fun. Read them all.

Summary: Third Stephanie is a charm
Review: In Three to Get Deadly the reader once again is back in Trenton, NJ with Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter. This time Stephanie is after the saintly Uncle Mo. Moses Bedemier, candy store owner and all around great guy is a FTA (failure to appear). Stephanie has the task of bringing him in. This time though, no one wants to give up information on Uncle Mo. And as if having no leads is bad enough, dead bodies start popping up everywhere around Stephanie. Stephanie tries to tie it all together with the help of Ranger and Lula and the man she loves to hate, Joe Morelli. Three to Get Deadly was an interesting read. I must say that after reading this book it was my favorite Plum novel. It had less comedy than the first two. There is still some funny and clever scenes but there aren't as many laugh-out-loud scenes as in the first two. This makes the book seem more like a mystery than a comedy. But by no means is this a keep you on the edge of your seat mystery. This is an easy to read "fun" mystery. Stephanie can manage to get herself into any number of scrapes and situations. Just when you think nothing else can happen to her sure enough something does. This keeps the book fresh and entertaining. The plot of this book was better than the previous Plum novels. It seemed to be well thought out and written well. There was a real mystery with Uncle Mo. Stephanie seems to be more serious in this book, which allowed it to take on a more mysterious mood. Three to Get Deadly is a fun, entertaining mystery. It will keep you entertained from first page to last. Definitely one to recommend!
