Plum Spooky


Just like all the men in her life, you have to love Stephanie Plum, Janet Evanovich's indominable protagonist because she's just so...well...spunky. She never lets her lack of skill or penchant for being in the wrong place at the wrong time get in the way of pursuing those pesky FTA's (failure to appear) that are the source of income for a bounty hunter. Something always blows up, her car always gets trashed, there are always too many gorgeous sexy men vying for her attention, Grandma Mazur and other incredibly weird and wonderful characters always make you laugh. How can you argue with a formula like that. The main hunk in this book is one I hadn't met before--Diesel (with no last name). He has an uncanny ability to open locked doors, start cars without keys and just general spooky things ordinary humans can't. But his cousin Wolf, who Diesel is hunting, and who is hunting Stephanie for not good motives, is even spookier. He can kill just by touching you, so you don't want to piss him off. Have fun--I did!
