Summary: More Lula Than Ever!
Comment: Only Stephanie Plum can cause me to laugh out loud-in public-while reading. And it happened again with "To the Nines," a typical Plum adventure that's heavy on Lula (yes, a pun) but a tad too light on Grandma Mazur.
No problem, though...there's plenty here to satisfy all Plum fans, as Stephanie and crew try to track down a missing foreign student whose expired Visa had been underwritten by none other than Vinnie's bail bond outfit. Now Vinnie's in real trouble, and even romance with a duck won't cheer him up. Can Stephanie find the culprit in time? Will Lula's diet (yes, a diet!) of meat products cause the desired effect? Will Stephanie's hugely pregnant sister Valerie stop shoveling down the food in time to give birth? And what of her swain, the eager-to-please Albert Klough (pronounced "Clown," as we know from a previous book)?
And then, of course, there's the ultra sexy gorgeous Morelli...whose grandmother with the evil eye is really scary in this book...and the equally sexy Ranger, leaving Stephanie as usual in a perpetual state of unrest. I won't reveal any more plot except to say that Stephanie's Jersey Girl hair undergoes a terrible transformation. I can say no more! Definitely a great addition to the series. Read it, or suffer the Morelli curse!

Summary: Maybe best Stephanie Plum yet in 9-book series!
Comment: We've read all the author's books about Trenton-based bounty hunter Plum, and had feared we were tired of them when in "Seven" and "Eight" the stories seemed weak and the humor forced. "Nines" corrects that with a real pleaser ' plenty of natural humor, an almost gripping plot putting Steph in real danger, and lots of sexual tension with Ranger and Morelli. The other regulars -- Bob the dog, Grandma Mazur, Vinny, the parents, sister Valerie (and father-to-be Kloughn) ' especially fellow "helper" Lulu, whose dieting efforts in the story were outrageously funny, contributed to the good humor we had come to expect from the earlier books. After an opening scene in which Stephanie captures a greased up "skipper", her hunt for a fellow named Singh, secured by a visa bond (something we learned about in ths book), caught her and Ranger in a gruesome computer fantasy game gone bad: where the losers not merely failed to proceed in the game but got killed for their sub-par efforts. Soon enough, Plum herself becomes the prize in this game of hunt or be hunted. While this series is not particularly designed to create suspense, this one rated up there close to the serial killer novels of John Sandford. Evanovich even managed to work in some subtle relationship and trust commentary regarding close colleagues of the opposite gender, involving separately both Steph and her current roommate Morelli.
So -- not just a good beach book, but Plum back in her finest with an honest to goodness whodunit, with the crazy funny cast of supporting characters all in good form. Enjoy!

Summary: To the Nines is Great!
Comment: This is a great book in the Stephanie Plum series! I must admit that I was getting a little jaded, and they didn't seem as funny anymore, but this book is wonderful! In it we see Stephanie at her fiestiest, and we get good doses of both Morelli and Ranger, as well as Lula. Also, we see the Jersey girl on the road (or air) to Las Vegas while she tries to capture a FTA. This book puts her in all kinds of danger, and she's up against a real nutcase this time. Even with Ranger's Merry Men as bodyguards, Stephanie finds herself in some pretty hairy situations. And you can laugh at her the whole time. There's a scene in the hospital when her sister is in labour that is sure to make you laugh outload. Great stuff!
