Description from back cover:
“A ‘saintly’ old candy-store owner is on the lam—and bounty hunter extraordinaire Stephanie Plum is on the case. As the body count rises, Stephanie finds herself dealing with dead drug dealers and slippery fugitives on the chase of her life. And with the help of eccectric friends and family, Steph must see to it that this case doesn’t end up being her last…”

Stephanie’s back, with new assignments. Is she ever going to smarten up and realize that she can’t assume that any of her FTA’s are going to be routine, easy, or minor? Now that she has a full-fledged sidekick, she needs to take a little more responsibility as mentor. I think that the author made this move too soon, but I guess that’s part of Plum’s appeal.

Since I’m nitpicking, I’ll mention that her adventures in auto acquisition and repair are getting old. What, her job isn’t dramatic enough? Other than these observations, I’m still enjoying the series.
