Synopsis:
Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and no one knows this better than New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum.
Dead bodies are showing up in shallow graves on the empty construction lot of Vincent Plum Bail Bonds. No one is sure who the killer is, or why the victims have been offed, but what is clear is that Stephanie’s name is on the killer’s list.
Short on time to find evidence proving the killer’s identity, Stephanie faces further complications when her family and friends decide that it’s time for her to choose between her longtime off-again-on-again boyfriend, Trenton cop Joe Morelli, and the bad boy in her life, security expert Ranger. Stephanie’s mom is encouraging Stephanie to dump them both and choose a former high school football star who’s just returned to town. Stephanie’s sidekick, Lula, is encouraging Stephanie to have a red-hot boudoir “bake-off.” And Grandma Bella, Morelli’s old-world grandmother, is encouraging Stephanie to move to a new state when she puts “the eye” on Stephanie.
With a cold-blooded killer after her, a handful of hot men, and a capture list that includes a dancing bear and a senior citizen vampire, Stephanie’s life looks like it’s about to go up in smoke.
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg’s The Heist.

POV: Stephanie

4/5
It’s been ages since I’ve read a Stephanie Plum novel and I forgot how much I enjoy these books. They’re quite fun and I enjoyed listening to the audiobook.
I’ve read this one before but I didn’t remember the story/details. This book was fun and the story engrossing. The characters are memorable and the cars explosive.
I know that there are several more books in this series but I wonder how much longer this triangle can be drawn out.
Overall quite fun and I’m looking forward to starting the next book.
