Twelve Sharp (Stephanie Plum Novels)by Janet Evanovich
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Welcome to Trenton, New Jersey, where bounty hunter Stephanie Plum's life is about to implode in Janet Evanovich's wildest, hottest novel yet!
FIRST A STRANGER APPEARS THEN THE STRANGER REVEALS HER SECRETS NEXT, SOMEBODY DIES SOON, THE CHASE IS ON Will the ticking clock stop at the stroke of twelve, or will a stranger in the wind find a way to stop Stephanie Plum...forever? Filled with Janet Evanovich's trademark action, nonstop adventure, and sharp humor, Twelve Sharp shows why her novels have been called "hot stuff" (the New York Times), and Evanovich herself "the master" (San Francisco Examiner). Review:"The mixture of slapstick and gunplay that has put Evanovich's series about a sassy, less than competent New Jersey bounty hunter at the top of bestseller lists once again works its magic in Stephanie Plum's latest caper (after 2005's Eleven on Top). Stephanie, who freely admits her failings as a hunter of fugitives, faces a growing work backlog that threatens the continued existence of her job. Her clumsy efforts to clear some cases, along with the help of her outrageous colleague, Lula, result only in their adding another sad sack to the office payroll — a forlorn shoe salesman who's talked off a ledge by Stephanie's offer of a position as file clerk. Stephanie's ambivalence toward the two men in her life becomes harder to maintain when one of them, the mysterious Ranger, is accused of kidnapping his own daughter. Countless over-the-top scenes, including one at a funeral parlor, will delight longtime fans. 1.25 million first printing; author tour. (One-day laydown June 20)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Review:"Evanovich wisely soft-pedals the mystery...and finds exactly the right tone of danger-laden farce...spicing it with a million one-liners, aspiring bond enforcers and hapless criminals on the run." Kirkus Reviews
Review:"Fans of the adventures of Stephanie Plum, hapless Trenton bounty hunter torn between two hunky bad boys, get what they want out of this installment..." Detroit Free Press
Review:"[Evanovich] is one of the very few writers whose skill can turn what should be serious moments into boisterously funny scenes. And her technique shines in Twelve Sharp." South Florida Sun-Sentinel
