Book Review: Seven Up - Janet Evanovich

6424
BLOWN UP

All New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum has to do is bring in semi-retired bail jumper Eddie DeChooch.  For an old man he's till got a knack for slipping out of sight--and raising hell.  How else can Stephanie explain the bullet-riddled corpse in Eddie's garden?  Who else would have a clue as to why two of Stephanie's friends suddenly vanished?  For answers Stephanie has the devil to pay: her mentor, Ranger.  The deal?  He'll give Stephanie all the help she needs--if she gives him everything he wants...

MESSED UP

As if things weren't complicated enough, Stephanie's just discovered her Grandma Mazur's own unmentionable alliance with Eddie.  Add a series of unnerving break-ins, not to mention the bombshell revelation leveled by Stephanie's estranged sister, and Stephanie's ready for some good news.  Unfortunately, a marriage proposal from Joe Morelli, the love of her life, isn't quite cutting it.  And now--murder, a randy paramour, a wily mobster, death threats, extortion, and a triple kidnapping aside--Stephanie's really got the urge to run for her life...

3/5 stars (liked it)
I love that I can pick one of these books up after not having read one for a while and really get into it.  Stephanie is very likable.  I love all the characters in the book series and love the ones that get introduced.  As always, Stephanie gets in over her head but she always manages to stay alive and solve the mystery.  Not just professional life but she has relationship problems and the ending surprised me.  Can't wait to read the next one.
