To the Nines
A Stephanie Plum Novel
by Janet Evanovich
Overview
From the Publisher
Stephanie Plum may not be the best bounty hunter in beautiful downtown Trenton, but she's pretty darn good at turning bad situations her way . . . and she always gets her man. In To the Nines, her cousin Vinnie (who's also her boss) has posted bail on Samuel Singh, an illegal immigrant. When the elusive Mr. Singh goes missing, Stephanie is on the case. But what she uncovers is far more sinister than anyone imagines and leads to a group of killers who give new meaning to the word hunter.
In a race against time that takes her from the Jersey Turnpike to the Vegas Strip, Stephanie Plum is on the chase of her life. The unforgettable characters, nonstop action, high-stakes suspense, and sheer entertainment of To the Nines define Janet Evanovich as unique among today's writers.
My thoughts
OK, well, I admit: I'm addicted to these books! They are soooooooo not my preferred genre, yet they have an addictive quality! They are trashy and ridiculous and a waste of time ... but what a hilarious waste of time! If you ever need a break from the realities of life, hole up with a Stephanie Plum book! Be shocked, be surprised, roll your eyes, say 'oh my!' occasionally, and fall in love with Ranger yourself!!!
Favorite Passage
[While boarding a plane...]
"Easy for you to say," I told her. "You're not the one getting picked on. You're not the one getting singled out for a second time. Your tampons and panties aren't getting pawed through." I stared down at the shoes. There wasn't any way to hide a weapon in them, but I thought I could do some pretty good damage if I hit the security idiot in the head with one. Spike heel directly into the eyeball, I thought. I visualized the bleeding eyeball falling out of the woman's head and felt much more calm. I stepped out of my sandals and waited peacefully for them to be scrutinized.
