Stephanie has been getting more endearing with each novel, and I can’t wait to read the next one! This is shaping up to be a great summer of fun reading. Could the kindly, candy store owner “Uncle Mo” be a cold-blooded killer? Will the bodies stop popping up in bizarre ways? Is Stephanie ever going to own a decent car? “Three to Get Deadly” is a top-notch crime thriller while tickling your funny bones. Meanwhile, the questions facing Stephanie, Ranger, Morelli, and Lula multiply. They send Stephanie their message in a hail of bullets: “Stop going after our hero. Every citizen is supporting this vigilante, some to the point of taking up weapons to protect him. Stephanie’s biggest problem isn’t the cops or the actual killer: it’s the public. Someone is murdering drug dealers and addicts in The Burg, and the killer means business.
Janet Evanovich, in this series, has managed to deliver humor along with the suspense, and “Three to Get Deadly” has its fair share of both. And poor Stephanie has the battle scars to prove it: she is shot at, knocked unconscious and has her hair dyed (unwillingly) orange. My summer of murder mystery madness continues!īounty-hunter Stephanie Plum is on the hunt again, in Janet Evanovich’s “Three to Get Deadly,” and she is out to catch The Burg’s most wanted and dangerous “Failure to Appears”: drug dealers, murderers, guys in chicken costumes. Review #2 Three to Get Deadly audiobook in series Stephanie Plum How could you not love that? The mystery is not a convoluted as her first two novels, but does have quite an element of surprise. When will she learn to carry her gun and keep it loaded? On the plus side, Rex, her guinea pig has a major role. Stephanie really should be a bit sharper by now. Such over reaching and the consistent, shall we say “dimness” of Stephanie is why I only gave this novel four stars. She takes one very funny scene way, way, over the edge and sort of ruins the enjoyment I took into it up until that point. My only complain about the book is Evanovich works a little too hard at humor. And she has lines like, “this job is so boring, you could do it in a coma.” Yeah, I have had jobs like this.
Lulu, the hooker Stephanie became involved in during the first book, is a major character here. Evanovich nails “the burg.” Love the atmosphere and the asides she puts into her characters mouth. First, in the issue of full disclosure, I need to say I was a newspaper reporter in Trenton many, many years ago. It is only the third Stephanie Plum novel I have read, but it is probably the most enjoyable.
