Description

The #1 bestselling phenomenon continues in the eighth Stephanie Plum novel. The stakes get higher, the crimes get nastier, the chases get faster, and the men get hotter.

This time Stephanie, Morelli, Ranger. Lula, Valerie, and Grandma Mazur are strapped in for the ride of their lives. Stephanie is hired to find a missing child. But things aren't always as they seem and Stephanie must determine if she's working for the right side of the law. Plus, there's the Morelli question: can a Jersey girl keep her head on straight when more than just bullets are aimed for her heart? And with the Plum and Morelli relationship looking rocky, is it time for Ranger to move in for the kill? Janet Evanovich's latest thriller proves that Hard Eight will never be enough.

    Ms. Evanovich keeps getting better and better. On the face of it, these novels can get quite violent and gruesome, but there is also so much humor that the characters keep you too busy laughing to get totally grossed out! I’m on my second time through the books and I feel like I missed a lot the first time around all those year ago.
  • Absolute Best Book I have read

    I stayed up at night reading this book. So far this is the best in the Stephane Plum series. It had my heart raising wondering how Stephane was going to get out of the mess she was in. Right up to the last page it was exciting.
  • great book in the series

    i love this series, up to lean mean thirteen. This one is a favorite for me because the villian is so good at figuring out how to unnerve stephanie plum. I was disappointed in the scene where ranger and stephanie finally get together fo rthe first time. Not that I was expecting a steamy love scene but I was definitely expecting something more than I got.
  • Best since book 2!

    I thoroughly enjoy all of Stephanie Plum's adventures but this was by far my favorite of the last 8!

    This is by far my favorite plum. I love Rangers' background even if its just a bit, you get glimpses of his mysterious life. The ending is great, however i would have liked a follow up to the events of this particular novel instead of rushing to novel 9 as if nothing hadn't happened. I have that issue with some of the books of the series, some continuity would be nice. Sometimes we start a new novel and wonder if you skipped a book in the middle ( without the other plum holiday novels). Overall its a good series for kicking back and relaxing a bit.
  • Enough of this....

    This is the last book of the series I will be reading. The stories are always the same, and there is only so much bumbling bounty hunter I can deal with. And she finally went to bed with ranger in this one for the first time, so nothing else to look forward to in the next ten or so books either. Oh - and then there is Lula too, developing into one of the most obnoxious characters ever invented, so thanks Janet - I will pass on the next however many mass produced sequels you will publish.
  • Fun Sleuthing

    Snappy dialogue enlivens the improbable consequences of the search for a friend's missing granddaughter. The exploits of a Mickey Spillane anti-hero grow on the reader as the plot is propelled by the amusing insights of the lead character. A good read.

    This book is right in line with the others: it has suspense, and humor! There were parts where I couldn't stop laughing. The plot was interesting and suspenseful.... Light, fun, humorous reading, typical Janet E style!
