"Trenton, New Jersey's favorite used car dealer, Jimmy Poletti, was caught selling a lot more than used cars out of his dealerships. Now he's out on bail and has missed his date in court--and bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is looking to bring him in. Leads are quickly turning into dead ends, and all too frequently into dead bodies. Even Joe Morelli, the city's hottest cop, is struggling to find a clue to the suspected killer's whereabouts. To top things off, Ranger--resident security expert and Stephanie's greatest temptation--has been the target of an assassination plot. He's dodged the bullet this time, but if Ranger wants to survive the next attempt on his life, he'll have to enlist Stephanie's help. Death threats, highly trained assassins, highly untrained assassins and Stark Street being overrun with a pack of feral Chihuahuas are all in a day's work for Stephanie Plum"--

4 stars

Stephanie Plum is looking for Jimmy Poletti but ends up finding corpses, and so she uses Briggs as bait to try and get to Poletti since he was his accountant. Grandma Mazur is more worried about her bucket list, which involves Morelli's grandma Bella and therefore might be more dangerous than finding Poletti. But the most dangerous case is with Ranger that has a a very big radioactive problem in his hands.

This book possibly has the most intricate stories of all of Plum's books so far. Stephanie has a lot of FTAs, and her main case - Jimmy Poletti - is also Morelli's and part of a bigger network that connects all characters.

Usually I do not even pay attention to most names because they come and go, but in this one I had to keep tabs on who was who. Ranger has his one big problem, which actually works to make him more endearing towards Stephanie. Funny enough, there was no real mystery going on but I found this story better than the most of the recent ones. Evanovich never fails to make me laugh and/or snort, which is the reason why I keep reading. Also, I may like chihuahuas a little more now.
