Raves for Janet Evanovich's novels: 'Stephanie Plum in ass-kicking form...utterly delightful' (Cosmopolitan); 'A laugh-out-loud page turner' (Heat); 'Plum is not just a smart private eye but a heroine with a sense of humour' (Daily Mail)
Something big is brewing in Trenton, New Jersey, and it could blow at any minute...
Stephanie Plum might not be the world's greatest bounty hunter, but she knows when she's being played. Ken Globovic (aka Gobbles), unofficial student leader, has been arrested for beating up the dean of students at Kiltman College. Gobbles has missed his court date and gone into hiding. People have seen him on campus, but no one will talk. Things just aren't adding up, and Stephanie can't shake the feeling that something funny is going on at the college.
As much as people love Gobbles, they hate Doug Linken. When Linken is gunned down in his backyard, the list of possible murder suspects is long. The only people who care about finding Linken's killer are Trenton cop Joe Morelli, who has been assigned the case, security expert Ranger, who was hired to protect Linken, and Stephanie, who has her eye on a cash prize and hopefully has some tricks up her sleeve...

3.5 stars
Stephanie Plum: The Wile E. Coyote of the chick lit fiction world. If you accept this truth about these books, they don't disappoint.
This one was no better or worse than the first 21 books, except that it looks as if perhaps Ms. Evanovich is running out of ways to keep the triangle interesting; the romantic story line was just flat.
An extra half star though for the interesting main plot line. It was definitely different.
