Overview

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Something big is brewing in Trenton, N.J., and it could blow at any minute.

Stephanie Plum might not be the world's greatest bounty hunter, but she knows when she's being played. Ken Globovic (aka Gobbles), hailed as the Supreme Exalted Zookeeper of the animal house known as Zeta fraternity, has been arrested for beating up the dean of students at Kiltman College. Gobbles has missed his court date and gone into hiding. People have seen him on campus, but no one will talk. Things just aren't adding up, and Stephanie can't shake the feeling that something funny is going on at the college--and it's not just Zeta fraternity pranks.

As much as people love Gobbles, they hate Doug Linken. When Linken is gunned down in his backyard it's good riddance, and the list of possible murder suspects is long. The only people who care about finding Linken's killer are Trenton cop Joe Morelli, who has been assigned the case, security expert Ranger, who was hired to protect Linken, and Stephanie, who has her eye on a cash prize and hopefully has some tricks up her sleeve.

  • Another Evanovich piece of pastry

    Larry M. - 4 years 6 months ago

    If you are new to Janet Evanovich, you'll find that all of the Stephanie Plum novels have the same ingredients. The mysteries are small cakes that use these ingredients with a little twist each time. There is always our heroine, Stephanie, beautiful and smart, but always finding her way into trouble with every foray into the world of bounty hunting for her cousin Vinnie. Guaranteed she will be shot at, punched, hit by a car, kidnapped, or have a rocket shot at her apartment or some other nefarious event will ruin her day. Her sidekick Lulu, a heavyset former prostitute also works for Vinnie and loves to travel in tight Lycra and pack a pistol in her pocketbook. Of course, she cant hit the side of a barn with it! You can be sure 99% of the time these two go out to pick up a bail jumper they will fail in some monumental way. Usually, it involves a car being destroyed at some point in the story. When things go south there are two possible saviors, on again/off again boyfriend, Joe Morelli, a cop, or, the handsome hunk of humanity, the dark and mysterious Ranger. The latter runs a security agency and is always pulling Stephanie out of jams and loaning her cars which always seem to get destroyed. Joe is usually doing his cop work with an occasional dinner at home with Stephanie and his dog. Stephanie lives alone with her pet hamster. When things look bad, which is most of the time Stephanie and Lulu chill out by visiting Cluck in a Bucket for chicken or the donut shop for a dozen donuts. Other characters abound, my favorite being Grandma. She is always looking to ride along on a pickup with her pistol in her pocketbook. She spends her days sitting in on funerals just for something to do. Each episode also introduces a simpleton type of character who is played as being dumb but turns out to be lovable and befriended by Stephanie. In Tricky Twenty-Two it is Gobbles, exalted leader of the animal house fraternity known as Zeta is the character. Of course, he is not the bad guy he is portrayed as and in the end he helps to unravel the murder. He is this stories ingredients twist. All Evanovichs stories read the same. Thats the beauty of them. You know what youre getting before you start and if thats your type of humor its hilarious. Ive also found that listening to the audiobooks add another level of hoot to the mix as Lorelei King is a master at all the character voices and nuances. So pick up One for the Money or any of the other Plum novels and you will be in for a little slice of happiness.
