Yes, another largely predictable and nevertheless entertaining entry in the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. Stephanie as usual has highly uncooperative FTA's to apprehend with friend Lula's help. She is juggling men who want to sleep with her; although Joe Morelli has the inside track, Diesel makes an appearance and takes up residence in Stephanie's apartment. Ranger has to keep rescuing Stephanie from car explosions. The main plot line this time involves one of Stephanie's FTA's, Oswald Wednesday, who has also ruffled feathers of some international heavy hitters and sent Diesel to capture (or kill) him. The guy is a world class hacker threatening to do really bad things, and when a local group of white hats breach his security in order to try and impress him, they inadvertently put targets on their backs. So Stephanie is trying to keep these naifs safe while still finding her FTA and claiming her bounty before Diesel gets to him. All the usual additional characters we have come to know and love are here: Stephanie's parents and Grandma Mazur, Connie, Vinnie, and, of course, Lula. Fast paced, fun, and sure to please fans of the series. Publishers Weekly offers a lively and positive review.
