Another great book by Janet Evanovich with her character, Stephanie Plum. It is so funny and enjoyable. I love her books and looking forward to the next book. I have read all her other books. I highly recommend them.

Fun book
This was such a fun book to read. I was not sure how I would like it after the ending of the previous book, but it was done very well.

With a different writing style this time but still the Stephanie Plum series style! Fun, mystery and intrigue.
