Stephanie Plum is back in all-new adventure from #1 bestselling author Janet Evanovich.
The hardcover edition of Notorious Nineteen contains Morelli & Ranger stickers inside!
New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is certain of three truths: People don’t just vanish into thin air. Never anger old people. And don’t do what Tiki tells you to do.
After a slow summer of chasing low-level skips for her cousin Vinnie’s bail bonds agency, Stephanie Plum finally lands an assignment that could put her checkbook back in the black. Geoffrey Cubbin, facing trial for embezzling millions from Trenton’s premier assisted-living facility, has mysteriously vanished from the hospital after an emergency appendectomy. Now it’s on Stephanie to track down the con man. The problem is, Cubbin has disappeared without a trace, a witness, or his money-hungry wife. Rumors are stirring that he must have had help with the daring escape . . . or that maybe he never made it out of his room alive. Since the hospital staff’s lips seem to be tighter than the security, and it’s hard for Stephanie to blend in to assisted living, Stephanie’s Grandma Mazur goes in undercover. But when a second felon goes missing from the same hospital, Plum is forced into working side by side with Trenton’s hottest cop, Joe Morelli, in order to crack the case.
The real problem is, no Cubbin also means no way to pay the rent. Desperate for money—or maybe just desperate—Plum accepts a secondary job guarding her secretive and mouthwatering mentor Ranger from a deadly special-forces adversary. While Stephanie is notorious for finding trouble, she may have found a little more than she bargained for this time around. Then again—a little food poisoning, some threatening notes, and a bridesmaid’s dress with an excess of taffeta never killed anyone . . . or did it? If Stephanie Plum wants to bring in a paycheck, she’ll have to remember: no guts, no glory. . . .
Another fun read by Janet Evanovich! I am a huge fan of the Stephanie Plum series and Notorious Nineteen does not disappoint. However, it does leave you wondering, team Morelli or team Ranger? Stephanie continues to be a magnet for not only her two main men but also for crazy convicts and life threatening situations. Lula is there of course to help in all the bond apprehension antics and even Grandma Mazur gets to provide another assist in catching the bad guy. I think the only downside to these books is that they always seem to make me hungry with all the stops for Cluck-in-a-Bucket, pizza and donuts. This book was absolutely enjoyable and like always leaves me eager for the next one.
