#20: Smokin' Seventeen - Janet Evanovich

2/17/12

Stephanie Plum has an eclectic group of friends, family, and acquaintances this time however, she's attracted the wrong sort of people. While the empty lot where the Bonds office once stood is getting underway for new construction the project his a snag when the backhoe unearths a body. Slowly more bodies show up and the killer has a special message attached to each one, "For Stephanie". To add even more trouble to the pot Morelli's grandma Bella has put the vordo on Stephanie. This definitely spells trouble for this bounty hunter.

Ripe with Evanovich's typical humor, mystery, and action Smokin' Seventeen is sure to have you reading page after page on the edge of your seat. As always Evanovich has multiple story lines going at once but they never seem to be overwhelming. On the contrary the overlapping and concurrent story lines make the lives of Stephanie and the others more real. Our lives are just one thing at a time and all the rest gets put on hold, no we usually have more than one thing going on at once. Stephanie's unique approach to her problems makes for a nice break from reality and a story you can't wait to finish!
