This is the best Stephanie Plum book so far. While the characters are zany, they are well-developed. The plot sometimes reaches, but not that far that it isn't plausible.
Not even Stephanie should be able to screw up her latest FTA, an old man who runs a candy store. What could be less threatening or dangerous, well, maybe a grizzly bear. Uncle Mo is loved by everyone in the Burg and because Stephanie is out to bring him in, everyone hates her. Mo's crime, carrying a concealed weapon, but he has a worse crime hidden in the woods.
As Stephanie, Lula and sometimes Grandma Mazur track their man - the men in Stephanie's life - Joe Morelli and Ranger are probably popping anti-acids and coloring their hair to hide the gray that Stephanie is causing.
The body count rises and at one point, the cops think Stephanie might have killed a man. Who are these thugs who are turning up dead and why are they dying. Throw in some vigilentes and you have a Stephanie Plum adventure.
All's well that ends well. Stephanie gets her man - both the FTA and Morelli and possibly Ranger.
On to book four...
A Renaissance Woman's quest to live a clean, green, intellectually stimulating life. Starting over and doing it right. Plus - the snippets of life that make me so totally unique
