To the Nines by Janet Evanovich
To the Nines by Janet Evanovich: the tenth in the Stephanie Plum series (you have to count Visions of Sugar Plums as part of the series).
If you're not familiar with who Stephanie Plum is, the answer is that she's probably New Jersey's least inept bounty hunter. She regularly blows up cars, her captures always include some element of mayhem, and she has some serious man issues in her life. She's also endearing, funny, tough, and a delight to read every time.
To the Nines finds Stephanie on the trail of Samuel Singh who's skipped out on a work visa. The clues to where he might be are few and far between and usually end up with someone getting killed. Stephanie's manged to pick up another psycho stalker as well. She's got to try and figure out how all these strange clues add up before this becomes her last job.
After I finished this book, I thought how "typically Plum" it was. I also thought how typical is not a bad thing when it comes to a Plum book. There was lots of love and sex with Joe. Ranger made quite a few appearances, so the sexual tension was pretty heavy throughout the book. Lula, a ho in a former life, was there in spandex and sequins, loud and lovable as always. Stephanie's family even managed to get more unbalanced.
These books are always good fun and the characters are wonderful. If you haven't read this series, I would recommend them as a great way to pass some time.

I am so with you on this series. I ~love~ the Stephanie Plum books. I have gotten kicked out of bed more than once for laughing out loud when reading them. I just hate that I have to wait a year for the next one!

I humbly submit my books for fans of Janet's who have run out of her books!
The Butcher of Beverly Hills: A Screwball Mystery Featuring Kerry and Terry McAfee
The Mangler of Malibu Canyon: A Screwball, etc.
They've been called "hilarious," "delightful," a "breath of fresh air from a very funny writer."
Reviews and sample chapters at my website. Hope you'll check it out.
Yours in laughter,
