Twelve Sharp: A hilarious mystery full of temptation, suspense and chaos (Stephanie Plum, #12)

by Janet Evanovich

Sometimes marriage can be a killer...

Usually hot on the heels of various miscreants, bounty hunter Stephanie Plum finds herself with a suspicious stalker in Twelve Sharp, the wildest novel yet in Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. Not to be missed by fans of Lee Child and JD Robb.

Praise for Evanovich: 'Evanovich is a clever writer with a strong streak of laugh out loud sardonic humour' (Melbourne Weekly); 'Non-stop laughs with plenty of high jinks' (USA Today); 'As smart and sassy as high gloss wet paint' (Time Out).

Just when it seems Stephanie Plum's life may be calming down, a new threat turns up: the wife of her mentor Ranger. Only it seems this wife isn't everything she says, and with Plum's usual protector in danger, Stephanie might actually have to look after Ranger for once.

Problem is Stephanie's on-again-off-again boyfriend, and Trenton cop, Joe Morelli already isn't too pleased with how close Stephanie is becoming to Ranger. Not only is Ranger temptation walking, he also has a long list of psychopaths and trained killers after him that make Stephanie's list of nut jobs seem normal...

What readers are saying about Twelve Sharp:

'Immensely good fun - Evanovich knows how to write them light and frivolous'

'The suspense and action will have you panting until the very end. The storyline is one of the best, filled with the action and suspense yet perfectly paired with comic relief'

'There is something for everyone - adventure, action, romance, comedy and sex'

Man is it good to be back in Stephanie Plum's world. It's been a while, since I go through phases of reading a series, putting it down, coming back to it and at the end of 11 I was a bit sick of the love triangle but in 12 I LOVE IT. Yes I've changed my mind and long may Stephanie not pick between Morelli and Ranger.

This was an intriguing read as we got to know more about the enigmatic Ranger. Although it was so weird to go from knowing 0 about Ranger to him having a wife (???!) and living in Pennsylvania (?) and it just opened up a can of worms.

I loved this book so hard. All my favourites were back, it was as funny as ever (you literally cannot find a funnier author than Janet Evanovich, she would have made such a good comedienne) and I didn't want it to end. Suffice to say I have the next four books to devour and the rest on hold at the library.

I have read all of the Stephanie Plum novels so far and I just love these books. They are a very easy read and are something to read when you just wanna relax after a long day. They are just so humorous and I love all the characters, especially Grandma Mazur. It has a little bit of everything thrown in, while still being lighthearted.

I would recommend these books to anybody.

This did not disappoint. The tension between Stephanie, Joe, and Ranger is better than ever.
