Before I give my review on the fifth book in the series, I need to ask, Have you read 1-4? If not read them first. I have been told you can read the series in no particular order, but I think that it adds something special when you read them in order. As for this installment, it is GREAT. Laugh out load funny. I cracked up while reading in on break at work and was forced to read aloud to my co-workers. Each book in this series of 13 (and counting) is better than the last. Start at One for the Money and keep on truckin' with Stephanie.
I've always liked Janet Evanovich and in my opinion, this is a continuation of fun, thrills and suspense for Stephanie Plum! Pistol Packing Grandma Mazur is a hoot! Both Ranger and Joe Morelli add to the spice in reading this book. I bought this book as I had read all of the other Stephanie Plum novels. Even reading the books in no particular order, I've discovered that Janet Evnaovich is a superb writer. She's witty, funny and never ceases to hold this reader's attention. Relaxing with "HIGH FIVE" when one is able to find some time here & there is something I recommend to all avid book readers.
I'm working my way through one of the best written series books I have come across in years!! I am so addicted that I dream of Stephanie and her cast of looney and sexy characters. I might add that Ranger and Morelli dominate these dreams! I think of Grandma Mazur as Estelle Getty in the Golden Girls and wonder maybe if Janet had her character in mine? I just finished number 5 and if I don't find out who was in that cliff hanger ending with Steph I am going to scream! On to book six to see if I can learn more....Morelli or Ranger? What a life! LOVE IT!
Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter of a different color. She sometimes comes across as incompetent -- it can take a while to get her bounty, but in the end he or she usually gets caught. Stephanie almost always has a love interest at hand and I've lost count how many cars have gone to vehicle heaven, just because she happened to be the driver that day. Grandma and LuLu and her parents -- Dad trying to be invisible and mom always in the kitchen cooking just add to the fun. Guaranteed laughs in every book.
I love this series of books. They are funny and light reading. I'm filling in my collection of this series with the purchase of this book.

I've read many other books in this series and find them delightfully funny. This one has a good story that keeps you guessing right up to the ending. I wspecially like to buy books from Ebay because of the value. I don't see the point of buying brand new when they collect dust after being read. The best option I suppose is to borrow from the library, but I do not make time to go there. I have very good luck on the confition of the books from Ebay and will continue to bid on certain one. I look at the description carefully as well as the person's feedback ratings and number of times they have sold items.
Another funny, light diversion that I love. Stephanie Plum is also a peach of a character
