Shirley J.     Adult Fiction            Murder mystery    StreetGangs

Stephanie Plum could easily have been Calamity Jane in the old west.    This story has Stephanie going up wild, wild west style against a street gang that gets it in for her, they even put a contract out on her and a paid assassin known as, "The Junkman," comes to town to take her out.   As if that isn't bad enough she goes through another car .exploding.   Is any one keeping track how many it has been now?   Stephanie is worried this time.   She is afraid for herself, MOrelli and her parents.   She has to hide out, but, where?   Then it occurs to her - the Bat Cave.    Good story.   The ending left me wondering - wouldn't other members have continued soldering?   but still a good story and I like all the different angles Janet Evanovich works Stepanie into.   Good story, this one I would recommend to adults.   I think teenagers would question where this story went and the outcome savvy as they are.  Good story none the less and Stephanie and Lula rock as bounty hunters.   Oh and look for a big announcement from Valerie in this one.
