Something big is brewing in Trenton, N.J., 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), hailed as the Supreme Exalted Zookeeper of the animal house known as Zeta fraternity, 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 -- and it's not just Zeta fraternity pranks. As much as people love Gobbles, they hate Doug Linken. When Linken is gunned down in his backyard it's good riddance, and the list of possible murder suspects is long. The only people who care about finding Linken's killer …

Something big is brewing in Trenton, N.J., 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.

Gobbles has missed his court date and gone into hiding. People have seen him on campus, but no one will talk.

As much as people love Gobbles, they hate Doug Linken. When Linken is gunned down in his backyard it's good riddance, and 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.

Review of 'Tricky twenty-two' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Stephanie has a new FTA called Ken Globovic that belongs to the Zeta fraternity at the local university. The dean hates the Zeta and the teacher responsible for them hates the campus in general. No one is telling Stephanie where Globovic is and she is not as wooried about him as she is about what is happening around the fraternity. And why Morelli is looking so sick lately.

As always, I enjoyed this story a lot and I finished the book quickly. Even though the main killer is easy to guess, the whole plot is rather difficult to imagine. I enjoyed Ranger (as always) and a different perspective on Morelli was also interesting. Lula and Grandma Mazur keep up the dialogues and even Stephanie's mum joins in the fun. The Plums never fail to keep me entertained.
