This one felt a little weak, but still fun enough.

I seriously love this series! It's light, funny, fast and the characters are so enjoyable. The only downside is that in the last two books, Stephanie has gotten more head-strong with Morelli. I don't like when she argues with him just because she doesn't like being told what to do. That being said, in this book, Stephanie quits her job as a bounty hunter and tries her hand at several other jobs, all of which she looses within days of being hired. The problem is that Stephanie is being hunted by someone who has "come back from the dead" to hunt her down. So where ever Stephanie goes, trouble is soon to follow. Her cars are being blown up, as was one of her places of employment. Finally, Ranger gives Stephanie a job as a researcher at Rangeman and it is there that Stephanie is able to put the pieces together and find out who is hunting her down.

I love the characters in the Plum novels, I'm sure most people do and it's about 95% of the reason why one reads these books, but this one was pretty much all character and hardly any mystery. It ended up being one big mystery, but honestly....it was such an afterthought/side story to Stephanie's adventures that it almost didn't even matter! Still fun and quick but not the best by far.

These are just so fun to read. No one has a life even vaguely resembling Stephanie's, but we all want one. She's fun, interesting, feisty, attractive, fumbles her way to the solution to all her problems, albeit by a circular route, but she gets places!
The dichotomy of the Stephanie/Morelli/Ranger triangle never grows boring. It's made more interesting by the men's willingness to put aside their differences for Stephanie's own good. I want a couple of watchdogs like hers.
This installment runs a little deeper than the usual Plum waters. Stephanie questions her life and goes about changing it. What follows is a series of dramatically botched jobs that end in her employment by Ranger. Along the road she has quite a few bumps and starts and an explosion or two, but in the end she gets her own, just as we have come to expect.

The book is as good as all of the preceding in the series, but I have to say, the ending is AWESOME!!! I love the poetic justice. . . .
