Summary: GRRRREAT!
Review: I bought "Three Plums in One" which is the first 3 novels all in one hardcover book and I read the entire thing in one weekend. My husband thought I'd lost my mind when he kept hearing me cracking up laughing while reading these stories. I just ordered all the rest and I know I'm going to be totally disappointed when I finish Seven Up and have to wait for number 8!

Summary: Three To Get Deadly
Review: RUN - don't walk to get this book and read it! Stay up late, skip work, don't cook or clean - whatever - just get this novel and read it. Just like all the others, Janet Evanovich does it again with the warm, hilarious characters! You can almost reach out and touch them they are so real and personable. I only wish someone would hurry up and do a movie of the series - it's that good. And I can "see" the cast come to light! The crimes become secondary in this marvelous romp to bring the criminals to justice as Stephanie plies her trade as a bounty hunter. And sex appeal oozes as Ranger and Joe lend their hands and expertise to keep her out of trouble. Get this book NOW and don't stop until it's finished.

Summary: The Belle of the Burg Returns!
Review: I said to myself, "Self, you are not going to laugh aloud and make a fool of yourself. After all, this is the third book in the series already." And I almost made it. For about 10 pages at least. Then I fell apart. In this outing, La Stephanie is after a much-revered Burg icon: Mo, the long-time owner of the neighborhood's candy store. "Mo would never do anything wrong," Stephanie is told by just about three-quarters of the Burg, most of whom are calling her mother to complain. But Stephanie, intrepid bounty hunter that she is, perseveres. With her trusty pocketbook in tow (handcuffs, pepper spray, stun gun, a revolver if she remembers to take it from its hiding place in the cookie jar--and of course, every Burg Girl's must-have: a huge can of hairspray), Stephanie is off and running. Her trusty sidekicks in this outing include the hefty Lula, ex-hooker extraordinaire; the incredibly sexy and mysterious Ranger; and the equally sexy Morelli. (Readers of Book 2 will remember that Morelli and Steph experienced "Buick Interruptus" during their adventures; I am sorry to report that this time it's "kitchen floor interruptus"). Eight bodies and several incredibly hilarious mishaps later, Stephanie manages to get her man. I think. I was laughing so hard by the end of the book I had a coughing fit--and NOT from Stephanie's pepper spray, either! On to Book 4. And for that one, I am NOT GOING TO LAUGH. You hear that, Grandma Mazur?

Summary: Stephanie Plum is back for more
Review: In the third installment of the Stephanie Plum series, Evanovich is once again in rare comedic form. 'Three to Get Deadly' details another episode of hilarity and suspense in the life of Bounty Hunter un-extraordinaire Stephanie Plum. If you have read any of the other books in this series, then this is a no-brainer for you. If you have not read any of them, you need to start immediately.

Summary: Series getting a little repititive
Review: In the third instalment of the Plum series, Stephanie has to track down an old candy-store owner that's FTA. However, this is no ordinary old man. This is Uncle Mo who is a respected elder in the Trenton community and people are willing to bet their lives on his innocence. As the body count rises, Plum lands right in the middle of drug dealers and low-life fugitives who want her out of the picture. As always, with the help of her friends Ranger, Lula, and Morelli and her family, Stephanie has to make sure that this case will not kill her. Again, Evanovich gives a lot of laughs, but on the whole I can see weaknesses starting to appear in this series. By now, Stephanie should be getting the hang of the bounty hunter business and getting some skills rather than relying all on luck and Ranger as her back-up. The cat and mouse game Stephanie's been playing with Morelli is getting stale. Grandma Mazur is becoming annoying and how much bad luck can one person have with cars? I like the series and will read 4, 6, and 7 to finish it, but it feels like same old, same old and I hope that Evanovich puts more creativity in spicing up the plots than relying on her old bag of tricks.

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.

Summary: Best Stephanie Plum Yet
Review: A major new character is introduced right at the beginning--Lula, the former prostitute turned expert filer at the Plum bond office. Black, full-figured, take-no-prisoners Lula is the perfect foil to the occasionally neurotic and often hesitant Stephanie, and right away, Lula has appointed herself to the position of Stephanie's unofficial bounty hunter partner. I found the crime plot line this time to be the best yet... not just a plot device to keep the book moving. Candy store owner "uncle" Mo has skipped bail, and the funniest part is the repeated disbelief from all of Trenton's citizens that Mo wouldn't do this or that. Stephanie has to contend with Trenton citizens unwilling to give her information to lead to the saintly Mo's apprehension. There's also an interesting side plot involving a teenaged fast food employee that ends up giving Stephanie orange hair and taking down a chicken mascot. As always, the back-and-forth thinly veiled flirting between vice cop Joe Morelli and Stephanie is a strong point. They're what Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn would be if they were middle-class in Nyu Joisey with hormones run amok.

Summary: Another exciting man hunt!!
Review: This was a fabulous adventure/mystery!! As I read each book in the Stephanie Plum series, I cannot seem to get enough! Everytime one ends I am ready for the next one and the next one! This time, though, it is not Grandma Mazur that steals the show, but Lula, the ex-prostitute friend of Stephanie's. She is crazy and scarey and a total blast!! We even get to meet Stephanie's cheater of an ex-husband in this part of the series. And the heat between Joe and Stephanie gets hotter and better with each book and this one is no exception. Read it!! You'll love it!!
