Unfortunately, that position has been filled, but Stephanie learns that she could pick up some cash by tracking down "FTA"s (Failure To Appear- people who have missed their court dates) and turning them in. Stephanie immediately wants the big kahuna case- Joe Morelli. Morelli is a cop who is wanted for apparently shooting and killing an unarmed man. Not only will Stephanie receive $10,000 for bringing him in, she knows him from high school and has a grudge to bear. Finding Morelli is not that difficult, but apprehending him is another story. Stephanie is armed, but she is afraid of her gun and too timid to use her weapons. With the help of a talented bounty hunter named Ranger and a police officer friend, Stephanie learns from her mistakes and improves. While searching for clues to find Morelli, Stephanie is attacked by a boxer named Benito Ramirez who begins to stalk her, threatening to rape and kill her. SPOILER: Eventually Stephanie and Morelli team up. Morelli claims he is innocent and tells Stephanie that he'll turn himself in if she helps him find a missing witness who may be able to prove Morelli's innocence. Working together, they find out that Benito Ramirez and his agent are involved in selling heroin and Ramirez’s agent has killed the one witness who can prove Morelli’s innocence. The agent confronts Stephanie in her apartment and explains his whole plan. Luckily Morelli had bugged the apartment and the information on the tapes frees him from his accusations. Also, Stephanie finally fires her gun.

This may turn some readers off, but it will definitely attract other readers. There is a romance aspect, evidenced by the sexual tension between Stephanie and Joe Morelli. There is a host of likeable supporting characters that add humor to the story, including Stephanie’s crazy grandmother. The pacing is not particularly fast or slow, but there are new twists to the story that make you want to keep turning the pages. The mystery is neatly solved at the end of the story and it falls within fair play- the audience only gets the clues that Stephanie gets.

Lean Mean Thirteen (2007)

Genre: Mystery (Amateur Detective)
Plot Summary:
Bounty Hunter Stephanie Plum is back to tracking down FTAs (Failures to Appear) with her sidekick (secretary/ex-hooker), Lula, for her cousin's bond business. In the midst of her daily interactions with these peculiar characters, she finds herself listed as the only suspect in her ex-husband's disappearance, following a brief altercation in his law office while she attempts to plant a bug for high risk bounty hunter (and slight sexual interest), Ranger. The police question her, giving her a bit of slack as she is dating one of the cops, Joe Morelli, but the ex-husband's future wife, Joyce, is sure that Stephanie is in for an untraceable, but sizable inheritance, and refuses to give her a breath of space. While Joe is tied up on secret job, Ranger and Stephanie begin to look further into the disappearance only to find suspicious behavior amidst the law office's proceedings and clients. As they get a little closer to the truth and the body count rises, things become increasingly dangerous for Stephanie. Someone seems to be after her and she finds it imperative to find the real culprit. SPOILER: Joe is actually "babysitting" the ex-husband, Dickie, who is found to be an innocent lawyer in a crooked office.

The key, unbeknownst to Stephanie, is hidden inside a clock she took following the altercation at the office.

She is able to escape and contact Ranger and Joe, who apprehend Petiak and return Stephanie to safety.
Geographic Setting: Trenton, New Jersey
Time Period: Contemporary (2007)
Series: Stephanie Plum, Book 13
Appeal Characteristics:
Evanovich offers an array of strong personable characters. Stephanie Plum is a humorous but tough woman, working in a predominately male profession. Her tough side, however, is softened by her lack of luck, her hilarious relationships with her family and co-workers, and her relational reliance on Morelli and Ranger. Secondary characters are strong as well, and Evanovich paints liveliness into each with humourous and arresting descriptions. While incorporating high stakes crime, the book remains light and humourous in tone achieved though character and situation. Stephanie's job, bounty hunting, takes her into peculiar circumstances in the Trenton, New Jersey setting, which provides a small town feel backdrop for her escapades. This situational humor and the romantic interests give slight breaks in the plot, providing a pace that compels the reader to turn to the next page, but allows for breathing space. The mystery within the novel is gripping, with revealing details spaced throughout as it unfolds. This plot line is enhanced by the interactions of the characters.
Read-alikes: Fans of the Stephanie Plum series may also enjoy the determined female lead and wacky supporting characters in Judith Viorst's Murdering Mr. Monti, which stars a meddling wife and mother who decides to murder her son's future father-in-law in order to secure her son's happiness. Viorst's cheerful tone and humorous approach to murder and sex should be attractive to Evanovich lovers. Another book with a quirky sense of humor and starring a strong female lead, Welcome to Temptation by Jennifer Crusie, would be appealing to readers who enjoy Stephanie's wild escapades, romantic interests, and snappy dialogue. This book follows the outrageous doings of wedding videographer Sophia Dempsey as she winds up stuck in a small town, entangled in romances and filming soft-core pornography. Readers who enjoy fast-paced, character driven mystery series may enjoy Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone series, which begin with A is for Alibi; Kinsey is a private detective, and in this book, she's been hired to clear the name of a paroled woman, convicted of killing her husband eight years ago. Though not as light in tone as the Stephanie Plum books, Kinsey is intelligent and witty, and there are humorous moments in the books. For another humorous mystery, try Agnes and the Hitman by Crusie and Mayer, in which Agnes and hitman/bodyguard try to throw a wedding midst growing danger, involving missing money, the mob, and mothers of the bride. The novel features a strong and lovable female protagonist and a humorous tone. Another humorous choice may be Strohmeyer's Bubbles Unbound. Hairstylist Bubbles attempts a career in journalism and is assigned to a case that involves her in a nasty lawsuit and a murder investigation. Evanovich fans may enjoy the vivid and peculiar secondary characters as well as the romantic interests. Fans of Evanovich's quirky characters might also enjoy Nancy Bartholomew's The Miracle Strip. Exotic dancer, Sierra, becomes involved in a messy case of missing person and dog, while dodging danger, her boss, pesky neighbors, and a few policemen. Some wild characters join her along the way to add some humor to the mystery. Humorous secondary characters and a strong female amateur detective make this a good match for a Evanovich reader. For those new to Stephanie Plum, it might be interesting to return to her humble beginnings in One for the Money which introduces Stephanie Plum and her entry into the bond business tracking Joe Morelli on her first job. This introduces the quirky characters of Stephanie's life, using the same humorous tone and compelling pace. For another character somewhat similar to Stephanie in a "Bridget Jones" manner, try Personal Effects by Marissa Piesman. Nina Fischman is trying to find a criminal hiker via the personal ads after her friend, Susan, is strangled on a trip to the Catskills in pursuit of the perfect man. Amidst the ad responses, she meets quite a few characters as well as danger. The humor, vivacious secondary characters, and a strong, but not quite put together heroine make this a good match for Evanovich readers.
Red Flags: Language, Sexual innuendoes and situations
Fearless Fourteen (2008)

Genre: Mystery (Amateur Detective)

Time Period: Contemporary (2008)
Series: Stephanie Plum (Book 14)
Appeal Characteristics:
This fast paced mystery is laugh-out-loud funny. Told in Stephanie Plum's humorous, conversational tone, the story grabs the reader from the first page. The ensemble of secondary characters are wonderfully quirky, likable, and recognizable. The character centered story unfolds in Plum's blue-collar neighborhood of Trenton, New Jersey and Evanovich makes the reader feel at home there. The neighborhood, like a character itself, is a mix of good guys and bad guys most of whom either went to high school with Stephanie, Morelli, and Ranger or are members of their families. Written in a unpretentious style with natural dialogue, this very enjoyable read blends the two story lines of the missing money and the aging sex-pot rocker beautifully.
Read-alikes: Sue Grafton's T is for Trespass, Book 20 in the Kinsey Millhone series, might be the ticket for Fearless Fourteen readers who like an irreverent woman sleuth. Millhone's town of Santa Teresa, CA, although more upscale, has the same comfortable feel of Plum's Trenton neighborhood. The crimes are more serious as is Grafton's tone. This chilling story involving elder abuse and identity theft is set in the 1980s and offers not only Kinsey's first person narrative, but also that of a sociopath baddie, Solana Rojas. Millhone must outwit Rojas before harm comes to Kinsey's injured neighbor, Gus Vronsky, Solana's patient. Readers interested in women bounty hunters might check out Bitch Factor by Chris Rogers featuring Dixie Flannigan, a much tougher cookie than Stephanie Plum. First in the Dixie Flannigan series, Bitch Factor focuses on Flannigan's pursuit of bail jumper Parker Dann who is accused of the hit and run death of a child. Flannigan captures Dann in North Dakota but their return to Texas is delayed by a blizzard and the time spent with Dann makes Dixie begin to doubt his guilt. According to Publisher's Weekly, the story features snappy dialogue and memorable characters, which should make Evanovich readers feel at home.Those who liked the combination of monkeys, wacky characters, and murder in the zany Fearless Fourteen storyline may like Donna Andrews' We'll Always Have Parrots, book five in the Meg Langslow amateur detective series. The story takes place at a fan convention for Porfiria, Queen of the Jungle, a television show in which Meg's boyfriend, Michael, has a recurring role. Monkeys, parrots, and a tiger, brought in for atmosphere, escape their areas and run rampant through the hosting hotel. The star of the show, Tamerlaine Wycliffe-Jones, otherwise known as Queen B, is murdered and Meg must find the killer because Michael is the police's number one suspect. Those who like the hometown, urban neighborhood setting of Fearless Fourteen might like Bubbles All the Way, where author Sarah Strohmeyer treats the hometown neighborhood of Lehigh, Pennsylvania as a familiar backdrop. This welcoming blue collar neighborhood frames Bubbles Yablonsky's eccentric acquaintances and odd situations. Bubbles, a reporter, hairdresser, and sleuth must prove her hairdresser friend Sandy innocent of the murder of Debbie Shatsky who died from hair extension glue. Characters Bubbles Yablonsky and Stepanine Plum share a smart mouth and a no nonsense perspective on crime, family, and men. Readers who enjoy the way Evanovich's characters are more important than the mystery might enjoy Dixie Cash's My Heart May Be Broken but My Hair Still Looks Great. Also loaded with snappy dialogue, the story moves at a similar pace to Fearless Fourteen. When Paige McBride's rich Texas daddy cuts off her cash flow and forces her to get a job she ends up as a horse handler on a ranch in Salt Lick, TX. She makes friends with Debbie Sue Overstreet and Edwina Perkins-Martin, two ladies who own a combination detective agency and hair salon. Paige meets the town's hunky new veterinarian, Spur Atwater. Horses begin to disappear from the ranch on Paige's watch and the hairdresser/detectives set out to solve the caper.
