Three To Get Deadly: A Stephanie Plum Novel

BOTTOM-LINE: Little more hard-boiled . PLOT OR PREMISE: This time around Plum's got a dandy assignment: pick up Uncle Mo, the owner of the local soda shop who everybody thinks is a saint. He got picked up for carrying a concealed weapon (which everybody says is no real crime at all) and promptly jumps bail for no apparent reason. She no sooner asks the first person about Mo's whereabouts, and lo and behold, her mom is getting complaints about her harassing poor Uncle Mo. Ah, life is just peachy. Add in a couple of vigilante types who keep warning her away from Mo, some more involvement with Jackie and Lulu (the hookers from book one), and life gets interesting. . WHAT I LIKED: I liked the expansion of the various characters again. As well, its kind of fun to see the relationship develop between Joe and Stephanie, even if it is romance-by-the-book. :) The grandmother is less pronounced in this one but Lulu more than makes up for it as she wants to kick butt too. Ranger is definitely an interesting presence, and fun for everyone. . WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: This book is a little more hard-boiled, complete with lots of guns blazing, and some harder-core motives for stuff. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it detracts a bit from the otherwise amusing antics of Stephanie as she is still learning the ropes about being a bounty-hunter. . DISCLOSURE: I received no compensation, not even a free copy, in exchange for this review. I am not personal friends with the author, nor do I follow her on social media.

I'm so in love with Ranger, lol... I started with book fourteen, read to twenty-four, then bought number one... Love all of Stephanie Plum books!!! Awesome reads!! I literally laugh out loud at her and Lula!! And yes, Joe is hot, but Ranger is my dream man... Heeheeheeee... I highly recommend anything written by this author!! What an imagination, and a way with words!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! Keep writing...

Laugh out loud funny. Read the book then listened to it on audio. Both ways were fresh and new. Hooked on these books
