Summary: and the adventure continues
Review: This is perhaps the best book in the series yet! Stephanie finds herself in a position where people don't want to cooperate in her search for the beloved Uncle Mo. As with the others, this book is nearly impossible to put down and will have you in stitches with laughter....ENJOY!

Summary: Janet gets better
Review: I love the Stephanie Plum series. This series was actually recommended to me by an elderly librarian who took note of the kinds of books I was reading. I have purchased from one to seven and "Visions of Sugar Plums" in the "Plum series". I enjoy them so much I will not loan them to my friends to read! You may also enjoy "Full House". This book was a prequel to the Stephanie Plum books. It is pretty light hearted and fun to read.

Summary: its ok, pacing is choppy, and definitely not for the bright
Review: Once again, a romance novelist pulls the wool over all our eyes with a plot that rates right up their with Star Wars for believability. But guilty pleasures are not the source of my rancor; indeed, it was what saved this book for me, and kept it from a one-star rating. What draws my ire is the abject superficialty of the author and her creation. Stephanie's Joe, specifically. After playing around like a dog in heat, Joe is still the alpha male of Stephanie's two dimensional emotions. Perhaps as a teenager, Stephanie's blind stupidity in letting a trogledyte like Joe within five feet of her can be (nicely) chalked up to the brainless fancy that haunts perhaps ninety percent of teenage girldom. However, the fact that Stephanie is coming back to a trogledyte like Joe is proff that her miseries in life are deserving and well-worth her pain. Instead of learning that there are nice guys out there who don't go playing around, Stephanie tosses her body, er, heart into Joe's well worn hands. Its this kind of female callousness that makes nice guys go bad; after all, if women can't seem to get around to actually loving the nice guys they want, there's no point to doing anything but mimicking a worthless wretch like that written by a romance novelist. Happy reading.

Summary: Laughed 'til I cried
Review: I rarely laugh out loud while reading, but Stephanie Plum and her motley gang of friends always has me laughing until I cry. In book three Stephanie is after the neighborhood candy store owner, the beloved Uncle Mo. Everyone in town is mad at Stephanie for trying to bring Mo in on a FTA (failure to appear)
The only support Stephanie is getting is from her friend ex hooker Lula, a wanna be bounty hunter in training. Steph's usual gang of friends and cohorts make appearances here, including Grandma Mazur, the mysterious Ranger and the sexy and dangerous Joe Morelli. As the body count rises, it is apparent that there is something a little strange about saintly Uncle Mo. And who are the guys in ski masks threatening Stephanie and her beloved hamster Rex? And why is Stephanies hair bright orange? The answers to all these questions and more will be answered, if only you can stop laughing long enough to finish reading!

Summary: Three to Get Deadly
Review: Most of the ``Failure To Appears'' that bounty hunter Stephanie Plum goes after are no great loss to society; it's only their girlfriends and bowling partners who don't want them caught. But Moses Bedemier is no ordinary FTA. The candy-store owner pulled in on a concealed-weapon charge is a popular guy in his Trenton neighborhood, and nobody but Stephanie cares whether he sets a new court date. So when Stephanie goes after Uncle Mo, the path is littered with the bodies of buddies who've thrown themselves in the way--and some bodies that have been thrown by other folks, too. Before long, Stephanie, on her second illegal visit to Mo's apartment, comes across the first of four dead drug dealers (and she'll soon lead her onetime-lover/constant nemesis Joe Morelli and his colleagues on the Trenton Police to four more, though the cops have to dig these four up themselves). What's the connection between staunch if slippery Uncle Mo and the bad guys? Why do a bunch of ski-masked thugs keep threatening Stephanie and her hamster with violence if she doesn't lay off Mo? And what can she do about the hideous orange color her hair turned in the middle of a chase after still another FTA? Stephanie's third case (Two for the Dough, 1996, etc.) dispenses almost entirely with mystery and detection in favor of a comedy/variety format. But in going repeatedly for the funny bone, Evanovich, who clearly agrees with her heroine that ``adaptation is one of the great advantages to being born and bred in Jersey,'' is obviously dealing from strength.

Summary: A Great Read
Review: I started with "One For the Money" and haven't been able to stop. This book reads smoothly. I can't say that there is alot of suspense or that there isn't some predictbility BUT the series is so much fun to read. I would definetly recommend this to anyone who looking for a "detective" type story with twist and turns. You will get your share of laugh out loud enjoyment too!

Summary: Stephanie kicks....when she's not tripping on her heels
Review: Janet Evanovich has delivered another great Stephanie Plum book in even more humorous and wacky situations. Hard to put down, this laugh-out-loud-until-tears-run-down-your-face book has a character that somehow manages to survive dead bodies, bad hair, dead bodies, her grandmother, bombs, a healthy libido, and more dead bodies as she searches for local favorite turned fugitive Uncle Mo. Even better than the first two in this series. Very fun to read.

Summary: Hilarious, fast-paced whodunit
Review: This third book in the Stephanie Plum series opens with Stephanie getting the unpleasant assignmentof "apprehending" the fugitive Uncle Mo. Initially, Stephanie thinks this should be an easy job, since Uncle Mo is one of the burg's most popular residents and has run a candy shop there for many years. The job rapidly turns ugly, though, because her friends and family can't believe that Stephanie would actually try to put such a "nice guy" in jail. But of course, there's more to Uncle Mo than meets the eye. It turns out that he's somehow involved in a suspicious string of murders of drug dealers in the burg. As Stephanie tries to track down Uncle Mo, she gets involved with the murders, even personally discovering a couple of dead bodies herself. I love the hysterical characters and situations in this book! "Three to Get Deadly" develops the character of Lula, former hooker and now a co-worker of Stephanie's at Vinnie's bond agency. Lula can sure talk some trash, but when put in a sticky situation you can practically see her knees knocking together, as she hightails it off the scene. Read the book to find out what happens with the body that Lula and Stephanie find in the dumpster. I couldn't stop laughing!! Also, I loved the character of Mrs. Steeger, Stephanie's third grade teacher who is ( of course) Uncle Mo's neighbor. Didn't we all have a teacher just like her? The twists and turns in unravelling Uncle Mo's connection to the drug dealer murders were well plotted. The case gets solved in the last 20 pages, and I thought Ms. Evanovich tied all the loose ends up very nicely. Darn skippy, Janet Evanovich has written another humdinger! Four and a half stars.
