slayra reviewed Three to get deadly by Janet Evanovich
Review of 'Three to get deadly' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
In this third instalment, bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is after Uncle Mo who owns a candy shop and happens to be regarded almost as a saint in his neighbourhood. Things get complicated when drug dealers' corpses start piling up around Stephanie and a group of vigilantes "invites" her to flee town and stop snooping about. To make things worse, Stephanie has Lula at her heels because she wants to become a bounty hunter. Ranger and Morelli are also on the hunt even though everyone is clueless. As Stephanie puts it: When in doubt, always look like you know what you're doing.
I'm not sure how Evanovich keeps this up, but it was again a very funny crime story. Lula replaces Grandma Mazur as Stephanie's sidekick and is responsible for a lot of laugh out moments - I learnt the hard way not to eat soup while reading Plum's books. …

I'm not sure how Evanovich keeps this up, but it was again a very funny crime story. Lula replaces Grandma Mazur as Stephanie's sidekick and is responsible for a lot of laugh out moments - I learnt the hard way not to eat soup while reading Plum's books. It gets even better when Lula develops a fixation on Ranger, while Stephanie is way more worried about Morelli's personality change. Together with the fact that Stephanie is trying hard to replace her Buick with a truck that is falling apart and a "tiny" problem at her hairdresser, you won't want to miss this story!
