Reviews
On Feb 20 2018, a reader said:
Tricky Twenty-Two is the twenty-second book in the popular Stephanie Plum series by American author, Janet Evanovich. Stephanie Plum, bond enforcement agent, is having only moderate success bringing in skips. But then her hot boyfriend, Joe Morelli, gives her some unwelcome news. Ranger employs her for duty protecting a rich couple at a mortuary viewing, which ends in an undignified scuffle, and some weird packages, both naughty and nice are turning up in Stephanie's mail. It seems Grandma Mazur has been busy online…
This instalment of Plum pursuits includes three murders, fleas, fireworks, a frat house, snakes and freezers filled with grisly finds. Stephanie bakes a cake (by herself!!), gets a big pimple, suffers a bruise on cheek (and several more injuries) and gets a marriage proposal (amongst other, less desirable proposals).
Her Ranger-donated Mercedes is destroyed by geese, and the Porsche Macan, by explosives, but Uncle Sandor's powder blue '53 Buick remains indestructible. More than one character is considering career change, Stephanie's mom, Ellen, gets into the action and, while Joe Morelli may be a hottie, his attitude leaves something to be desired in this instalment. A fun read, as always.
