Summary: Stephanie's new job makes her very unpopular
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!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hearty, exciting and winking - can you ask for more?
Review: Looks like Janet Evanovich has finally found her stride as 'Three to get deadly' so far tops the whole Stephanie Plum series with a great main plot (which is less predictable than many others of the series) and a multitude of Plum antics left and right, that leave no eye dry and doesnt let you off the hook for a single minute.

Our favorite bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum from Trenton, NJ, is once again in top form. This time she has to hunt down Uncle Mo'. No easy feat, as Mo is Trenton's most liked candy store owner, and Stephanie and her vivid and ever present friend Lula learn quickly, that nobody in Trenton is inclined to offer any assistance to her case. As a result, the two girls stumble from one slapstick situation to another until it becomes evident that Uncle Mo is everything else but your friendly candy seller next door.

But if that wasnt enough to turn her life into turmoil, Stephanie's path repeatedly crosses the ways of the two men in Steph's life, that would make her heart shake and her mind turn upside down. For once, there is the Italio-American cop Joe Morelli. He's charming as ever, attractive and protective - and the reader can't help but take pity with Stephanie's hormones each time Joe steps onto the scene. But then there's also Ranger, Stephanie's mentor. Professional, mysterious and matching Joe Morelli wit for wit and heartthrob for heartthrob. That three-way relation let alone could make up for a good story, but of course, Janet Evanovich has way more in mind for our heroine.

So we read more about Steph, her crew and her droll-and-yet-so-normal family, and we learn how challenging (and comical) it can be, if you gotta transport a corpse - especially when it's starting to become stiff as rock - with your Buick (love that car, one of the really great running gags that are so typical for the whole series, much like the guns every girl and grandma seems to be carrying along in Trenton or the ever changing style of Steph's hair, latter not always happening voluntarily). Or we see Steph chasing a chicken (a real big chicken as it is) on the loose through the big mall. And many more. Go, girl, get 'em all!

Summary: Another fun book by Janet Evanovich
Review: THREE TO GET DEADLY by Janet Evanovich

Here's the third book in the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich, THREE TO GET DEADLY. In this installment, Stephanie works closely with ex-hooker-turned-office-clerk Lula as she goes in search of missing Moses Bedemeir, an elderly man who owns the neighborhood candy store. The rest of the people in the neighborhood refer to him as Uncle Mo, with great affection, and it seems that Mo can do no wrong.

As in the first two novels, THREE TO GET DEADLY is a tongue-in-cheek book about an amateur bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum who, in desperate need of money, goes after all sorts of shady creatures in order to get paid. With the help of cop Joe Morelli and Ranger the Rambo-like bounty hunter, Stephanie goes after the leads that seem to point to a Mo that is not quite as friendly and sweet as the neighborhood thinks. Along the way she finds her life endangered, is teased and tormented by Morelli, and of course who can resist Grandma Mazur? I personally loved her interaction with her pet hamster Rex. She may have convinced me to get one of my own!

Most of the laughs this time come from the antics of Lula and Stephanie. To Stephanie's chagrin Lula manages to tag along with her during stake outs and break-ins, as Stephanie tries to find out what happened to Mo. Unfortunately, Lula has a hard time being discrete, and the adventures that the two get into had me laughing again as I read along.

As with the previous two books, I am giving THREE TO GET DEADLY a big recommendation. These books are so much fun! I am looking forward to the fourth book, FOUR TO SCORE.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stephanie Plum is a Blast of Fresh Air!
Review: Three is a much better book than Two was, and I enjoyed it immensely. Stephanie is back and she's just as funny and endearing as ever. In this book she's on the track of a candy store salesman, and before she bags her man she turns up numerous dead bodies, and almost gets killed herself numerous times. We also get to see a lot of Ranger in this book, and that's a definite plus. Ranger is awesome. He's like a mysterious black panther that slips and in out of dangerous situations. Through it all Stepahnie manages to maintain her aplomb, and stays focused on her task - Find Mo the candy man, and bring him to justice!

Rating: 4 stars
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!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Three To Get Deadly
Review: Three To Get Deadly is spectacular! You will definitely not be disappointed with the entire series of Stephanie Plum novels. The characters in this book are hilarious and her family is classic. Janet has impeccable comedic timing; she perks you up right when you need it. This book is fast paced and will keep you rapped around it's finger. Stephanie will seize to amaze you through out the book when she can't dig herself out of the deep hole that she has dug. This girl just can't keep herself out of trouble. It's like she goes searching for it. The book will also fool you; nothing is what it seems. Stephanie is very entertaining with her unpredictable antics and attitude. If you love books with passion and laughter, I highly recommend this book to you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: a laugh out loud mystery
Review: This was a fun mystery. I found myself laughing out loud several times as I read the book. Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter and not one of the agency's top agents. She gets the mediocre assignments, only they don't always end up being mediocre to hunt down. She is assigned to hunt down Uncle Mo, the local ice-cream store owner, much beloved by the neighborhood. The people are mad because she is chasing him down and she says she's just doing her job. Through various antics that keep us all entertained, she does her job. A book that leaves you grinning when you finish just thinking about it. I would recommend it whole heartedly.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Painfully Funny.
Review: The third book of the series presents Stephanie Plum with the daunting task of apprehending the local neighborhood saint, Uncle Mo. Everyone in the Burg loves Mo, he is the gentle old man who sells ice cream, but when he fails to show for his court appearance its down to Stephanie Plum to bring him in.

Am not going to spoil the book, its classic Stephanie Plum stuff, she gets in awkward situations, finds out a lot more then she should about people and through it all she makes us laugh till it hurts.

4 Stars

Summary: Oh! Stephaine moved in with Morelli!
Review: Its been one of those days for Stephanie Plum, she's been tasked to bring in Uncle Mo, the guy everyone loves. Uncle Mo. has skipped bail on some minor little charge and now is a wanted man. Mo, The owner of the local icecream-candy store has been loved by all the children for generations, and now everyone hates Stephanie for trying to bring him in.

But soon Stephanie is up to her ears in trouble. Her apartment is broken into, she's giving warnings of the unfriendly kind and shes had to move in with Joe Morelli because she keeps finding folks in her apartment!

And now that she's moved in with Morelli everyone is asking when the wedding is! YIKES! is about the sum of Stephanie response to that question! But trust me this book is a bucket of laughs! Its a good romp though the "burg" written in Ms Evanovich's familier style. This is a great book, definately worth the reading time!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Plum times 3!
Review: Stephaine Plum is back and this time she is trying to pick up the burg's favorite man, Uncle Mo. Mo owns the candy shop/ice cream parlor in the burg and everybody's favorite guy. Mo skipped his court appearance for his concealed weapons charge. What appears to be an easy pick up turns deadly as Stephanie is once again being blackmailed, shot at and threatened. What would a Plum book be without Morelli and Ranger in on the action? Morelli working in homicide and as dead drug dealers start turning up he also wants in on a piece of the action. Grandma Muzar isn't helping Stephanie this time but instead she has Lula, ex streetwalker now file clerk in Vinnie's office. Lula has declared herself a bounty hunter in training and she is here to help Stephanie at all costs, of course adding to the laughter.
