Three to Get Deadly

As I packed for a family trip to the beach this month, I threw in a copy of Three to Get Deadly by Janet Evanovich at the last minute.  Turns out: wise choice!

If you want a deep, thought-provoking read, this series is not for you.  If, however, you want a fun, laughable, entertaining story grab one the Stephanie Plum novels!  In the first book of the series, One for the Money, Stephanie loses her job and in her desperation for money, she decided to track down a Failure to Appear for her cousin Vinnie, the bail bondsman.  Most of the reoccurring characters that we grow to love in the series are introduced in this first book as Stephanie tracks down her old flame, Joe Morelli, an cop suspected of killing an unarmed man.  

In this third installment, Three to Get Deadly, Stephanie is at it again with the help of Ranger, a pro bounty hunter, and Lulu, an ex-hooker that now works for Vinnie.  This time she's been asked to track down Uncle Mo, a local candy store owner that is much loved by the neighborhood, who skipped his court appearance for concealing a weapon without a license.   Stephanie might be in to deep when the neighborhood turns against her, Lulu runs at ever sign of trouble, hints that Uncle Mo is offing local drug dealers and her maybe-love-interest Morelli seems to be hiding information.
