between underlying tensions, fear and confusion, she's still her normal fun mess!įor those new to me or my reviews. There's plenty of things happening here tho. And at least it's a bit different from the normal shenanigans where Plum is trying to track down a kooky bail jumper. And sometimes not so subtle! Always a good book to curl up with on the couch, this won't disappoint.

While the back and forth is starting to bug me (which man will she choose!), given Ranger is my favorite character, it was a strong book full of information and subtle vibes. But for what reason? As the book progresses, you learn how much Stephanie Plum is really torn up about Ranger, despite her feelings for Joe Morelli. At the same time, Ranger's daughter has been kidnapped, and someone suspects he's behind it all.

She soon learns out this person has a connection to Ranger - it's his ex-wife. She's not sure who it is, but the person is scary. I really enjoyed this book, given its focus on the mysterious Ranger. 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 ).Ĥ out of 5 stars to Twelve Sharp, the 12th book in the 'Stephanie Plum' cozy mystery series written in 2006 by Janet Evanovich. When Stephanie Plum and Ranger get too close for comfort, vice cop Joe Morelli (her on-again, off-again boyfriend) steps in. And now, the two are working together to find a killer, rescue a missing child, and stop a lunatic from raising the body count. Ranger needs Stephanie for more reasons than he can say. The action turns deadly serious, and Stephanie goes from hunting skips to hunting a murderer. The woman dresses in black, carries a 9mm Glock, and has a bad attitude and a mysterious connection to dark and dangerous Carlos Manoso …street name, Ranger. While chasing down the usual cast of miscreants and weirdos Stephanie discovers that a crazed woman is stalking her. Welcome to Trenton, New Jersey, where bounty hunter Stephanie Plum's life is about to implode in Janet Evanovich's wildest, hottest novel yet !
