Stephanie Plum #4

Four to Score

... Show More
Nabbing Maxine Nowicki, thief and extortionist, would be the answer to Stephanie’s prayers and monetary woes. The only trouble is that Maxine is no where to be found, and her friends have been mysteriously turning up dead. To make matters worse, Stephanie’s arch nemesis since grade school is also looking for Nowicki, hoping to cash in first.

Stephanie’s mentor and tormentor, Ranger, needs her. Vice cop Joe Morelli has invited her to move in… temporarily. And Stephanie’s Grandma Mazur, sidekick, Lula, and a six-foot-tall transvestite rock musician want to take Stephanie to Atlantic City. One thing is for certain, no good can come from any of it.

Quando si parla della Evanovich divento abbastanza ripetitiva; adoro i suoi libri e lo dico tutte le volte.
Questa volta Stephanie, oltre al solito (in questo caso solitA) MA scomparso, anche un cantante gay tradito e la sua nemica per eccellenza che tenta di rubarle il lavoro.
Come al solito, quando leggo le avventure di Stephanie Plum rido per quasi tutto il libro; mi piace anche la piega che hanno preso le cose con Morelli, peccato però che in questa avventura nonna Mazur non sia così tanto presente!

This Stephanie Plum mystery finds the bounty hunting heroine trying to bring in Maxine, an elusive, bail skipping waitress. Stephanie gets into her usual amount of trouble with help from her ex-hooker friend, Lula, and a new friend, transvestite, Sally Sweet. The book is just as engaging and humerous as the previous Stephanie Plum adventures, and this book has the added bonus of seeing things heat up between the heroine and Joe Morelli when Stephanie stays with the tempting cop after her apartment is destroyed.

This is one of my favorites in the Plum series. Very funny but action packed. Easy to pick back up if you have to put down. I love this series and can't wait to start the next one!

this book as a bit of a history with me the last one i read was in (2015) how do i know this? i keep track on how many books i read per year i've done that for years and the only ones that i am aware of off the top of my head are the ones from (2015) to (2023) so i know anyways, i started this one back than or maybe a year later? i can't remember i do not remember when i stopped but i lost interest cause it took me forever to get into it.

anyways, fast forward to Lockdown in (2020) or did i start this in (2021) either one anyways i had no idea where the hell i was so i said fuck it and started it over from scratch i got further that time and stopped on page 106. on whim for whatever reason i got into the mood to pick this up again and so i started that chapter over and thankfully i was able to finish the book in like i think a week? or close it anyways. it was a good book i think the last one was a lot better but this one had it's moments too. of course it being so long ago when i started it over i had forgotten really everything that did happen before the chapter i started over which i think was chapter 6.

so far the worst one is the 1st book for those who want to start with the series start with that one of course but i had a hard time reading that one cause i wanted to read the ones after that i was told were better and they were right. my apologies on my ramblings this book is about Ms. Plum who has to go after a woman who starts out just ignoring her court date and it turns out a lot about fake money. it got a bit confusing for awhile but it was a decent book

I don’t have anything new to say about this series. Every sequel is funnier than the last.

But with this fourth book we finally see a turning point in Steph and Joe’s relationship. YAAAASS FINALLYYYYY.
What happens next is HILARIOUS: neither of them say anything but somehow Joe’s family think they live together, then that Steph is pregnant, then that they are getting married, and lastly that they’re already married. Obviously, as if it weren’t enough, the news circulate to the entire Trenton city.
I loved that hahaha

4 Stars. the Plum stories are very solid. A little humor and mystery guaranteed through the first four books. Plum and company are fun, Morelli is entertaining. Looking forward to the next one.
