Crime

Another silly story about a bunch of supposed terrorists goint after Stephanie for photograph inadvertently given to her by a passenger on plane. The passenger is murdered for this photo and Stephanie discovers the photo and throws it away.

Not my favorite but some good parts. Eighteen books and I'm ready for her to atleast test drive being serious with one of these guys. c'mon cupcake pick one already! ( )

I'm not a major Stephanie Plum fan, but I enjoyed [b:One for the Money|6853|One for the Money (Stephanie Plum, #1)|Janet Evanovich|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1316730230s/6853.jpg|1486401] (even though I only gave it two stars) and thought I should check in with her before the movie comes out. This volume has some of the same problems as the first book, and adds a several more.

Stephanie still can't think (or fight) her way out of a paper bag. Why is she still loose on the streets of New Jersey pretending to be a bounty hunter? Why has nobody put a permanent fix on her window to keep killers and assorted others from breaking in to her apartment? Everyone seems to have a gun. Is there some rule in New Jersey that says its OK to carry around a gun and brandish it (even discharge it) without consequence? I guess I'll stay out of Jersey.

The biggest disappointment is the end. After we spend a couple of hundred pages chasing after the usual assortment of oddballs and wondering why everyone is after the photograph, Evanovich throws in some brand new characters and information and resolves the situation in just a chapter or two. Not fair.

On the other hand, I did read all the way to the end and enjoyed some of the journey. ( )

I think it may be time for the author to give up on Stephanie Plum. ( )
