Things are steaming up with Stephanie and Morelli in this one.
We meet a drag queen and add to the gang.
Grandma Mazur takes her .44 to Atlantic City.
Two cars one cigarette (not to be confused with 2 girls 1 cup) results in one hell of a car fire.
Oh and an apartment fire.
You just never know what you’re going to get involved in!

Evanovich gives us so many amazing side characters! I absolutely adored Sally and can’t wait to see more of him. The mysteries are getting wilder, but the quality stays the same and doesn’t require more or less suspension of disbelief. I also like the way the relationships in these books are developing.
I’m getting a little tired of the will-they/won’t-they between Morelli and Stephanie, though. I love a slow-burn, but also really want to see them happy together and the drama to come from something else.
Overall, this series is so much fun and I’m glad there’s still so much left.

4 solid stars.
I just love this series and I think it keeps getting better and better.
Also, super stoked to see Stephanie and Morelli finally get together.
One of my favorite series that I want to keep reading. Off to request the next book!

Audiobook read by C J Critt
3.5***
This is book four in the popular Stephanie Plum series. Stephanie’s still pretty inept at her job, her romance with Morelli is heating up, she’s responsible for a couple of cars blowing up, Grandma Mazur is as nuts as ever, Steph gets a new “partner” in a cross-dressing leader of a rock band, and she tangles with rival bounty hunter Joyce Barnhardt.
The earlier books in the series are very entertaining, but I lost interest after about book 12. I re-read this one because it’s fast, enjoyable and fits a challenge.
C J Critt is barely passable reading the audio book. Her delivery is S L O W … with L O N G pauses at scene breaks. I also didn’t like the voices she used for most of the characters. This should be a fast, snappy delivery. I recommend reading the text instead of listening.
NOTE - I originally read this long before I had joined Shelfari or Goodreads, so never had recorded it ... the first date read is a wild guess based on having listed book 11 in the series as read in 2006.
