From Publishers Weekly
The mixture of slapstick and gunplay that has put Evanovich's series about a sassy, less than competent New Jersey bounty hunter at the top of bestseller lists once again works its magic in Stephanie Plum's latest caper (after 2005's Eleven on Top). Stephanie, who freely admits her failings as a hunter of fugitives, faces a growing work backlog that threatens the continued existence of her job. Her clumsy efforts to clear some cases, along with the help of her outrageous colleague, Lula, result only in their adding another sad sack to the office payroll—a forlorn shoe salesman who's talked off a ledge by Stephanie's offer of a position as file clerk. Stephanie's ambivalence toward the two men in her life becomes harder to maintain when one of them, the mysterious Ranger, is accused of kidnapping his own daughter. Countless over-the-top scenes, including one at a funeral parlor, will delight longtime fans.

Review
Praise for the narrator:
“Stephanie Plum, Evanovich’s ditzy but delightful bounty hunter heroine, returns—
this time to solve her own career crisis. Actress Lorelei King gives each character a distinct—and hilarious—voice.”—People on Eleven on Top
“Narrator King steps neatly into Stephanie’s shoes, her agile voice conveying not only Stephanie’s fear and frustration, but her plaintive, why-does-this-always-happen—to-me attitude. King also nails the manly, mysterious voice of gorgeous bounty hunter Ranger, Stephanie’s sometime superhero… Her vocal stylings are generally as superb as Evanovich’s zany characterizations.”—Publishers Weekly on Ten Big Ones
“Narrator Lorelei King does a fabulous job, as each character is assigned a distinctive voice, thus milking the humor for every drop.”—The Boston Globe on To the Nines
Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum novels are:
“As addictive as Fritos.” —People
“Hot and sassy.” —Boston Herald
“Stuning.” —Booklist
“Irresistible.” —Houston Chronicle
“Brilliantly evocative.” —Denver Post
“Dorothy Parker with a Jersey accent.” —Time
“Models of screwball artistry, fueled by inventive twists.”—The New York Times

RELEASE NOTES: Mailing to Ayerin today on way to a kids birthday party...
I received the book yesterday from the post office. Can't wait to get to it.
All right, I've finished with it.
I've never listened to the audiobook version of the Stephanie Plum series and, although I didn't think the voice fit with how I had imagined, I really enjoyed it. Since it's an abridged version there are no points in the story where you're pleading with the book to please speed up the story.

Mailed it off to wapster2 yesterday.
