To the Nines (Stephanie Plum, No. 9) Review
To the Nines is a great continuation of the Stephanie Plum series. Stephanie is firmly ensconced in Morelli's life and home and her biological clock is starting to tick a bit louder. Of course, she still has to contend with his family, including his scary Grandma Bella.
If that wasn't enough, her sister Valerie is seconds away for going into labor and eating for sixteen driving the entire Plum family crazy. At work, Stephanie is tasked with finding Samuel Singh. Singh is in the US on a visa and The Plum Agency has gotten a lot of publicity for providing the visa bond. His disappearance seems to be a case of running from an arranged marriage, but something much more mysterious and nefarious is at work here. It's all very twisted. The search for Singh brings Stephanie, accompanied by Lula and Connie, to Las Vegas. They don't stay in Vegas long enough to really do it up Jersey style, but it's humorous nonetheless.
Ranger and his band of burly men make numerous appearances in this book. We get to spend some quality time with Tank and even meet some of Ranger's other associates. Stephanie even steps into the technological present with the addition of a new laptop. Tuns out, email is perfect for receiving scary anonymous notes of a threatening nature.
To the Nines was lots of fun. Stephanie shines as always and in a completely surprising turn of events - not one car was harmed in the making of this book. Stephanie has become bad luck for something else entirely and it's highly entertaining.

To the Nines (Stephanie Plum, No. 9) Overview
Stephanie Plum's got rent to pay, people shooting at her, and psychos wanting her dead every day of the week (much to the dismay of her mother, her family, the men in her life, the guy who slices meat at the deli...oh, the list goes on). An ordinary person would cave under the pressure.
But hey, she's from Jersey.
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 immigrant who becomes an illegal alien by violating his Visa and extending his stay in the United States. 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.

Oh God another one! - lucy cranky - columbus, Ohio
Ok, the first 5 or six were funny to read. After a while it is awfully boring. everyone and everything is same. The ditzy Stephanie can't make up her mind, stupid apphenensions going bad, blah blah blah!!!!(I bought these for my daughter; but read a couple of them myself)Anyway, I think it is time to retire Stephanie and do something else.
I was HOOKED the first time I read a Janet Evanovich book! - Sumatra -
I just happened to pick up this book (in hardback) on the sale rack in a bookstore and stood there and read the first few pages and was laughing so hard I was crying. I was so entertained that I didn't even care that people were looking at me like I was crazy. I never start a series in the middle like this, but I could not leave that store without this book. I read it the next day and then promptly went out to buy the first eight books in the series, plus, Ten Big Ones was out also, so I bought that one too. I got all of these just before spring break and read all ten of them that week(yes, I reread book 9, because I had to read them all in order...OCD anyone?). These books are hysterical and fun and they lift my spirits. I LOVE them and always get the new one as soon as it comes out!
