In the heart of Trenton, N.J., a killer is out to make sure someone gets his just desserts. Larry Virgil skipped out on his latest court date after he was arrested for hijacking an eighteen-wheeler full of premium bourbon. Fortunately for bounty hunter Stephanie Plum, Larry is just stupid enough to attempt almost the exact same crime again . Only this time he flees the scene, leaving behind a freezer truck loaded with Bogart ice cream and a dead body--frozen solid and covered in chocolate and chopped pecans. As fate would have it, Stephanie's mentor and occasional employer, Ranger, needs her to go undercover at the Bogart factory to find out who's putting their employees on ice and sabotaging the business. It's going to be hard for Stephanie to keep her hands off all that ice cream, and even harder for her to keep her hands off Ranger. It's also going to be hard to explain to Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, why she is spending late nights with Ranger, late nights with Lula and Randy Briggs--who are naked and afraid--and late nights keeping tabs on Grandma Mazur and her new fella. Stephanie Plum has a lot on her plate, but for a girl who claims to have "virtually no marketable skills," these are the kinds of sweet assignments she does best.… (more)

I don't know if they are losing their appeal for me. Didn't seem to be as laugh out loud funny and the ranger pull wasn't until the end. Before it was special when he said "Babe" now I feel like it is on every page. ( )

I am finally catching up to stories that I remember the majority of the story and plot, with that said I still couldn't remember who the bad guy was until two thirds of the way through the story. I love grandma Mazur in this one, she just doesn't care what people think about her. The hair, the outfits, the fact that she doesn't want to tie herself to one man, priceless. Another fun installment in the Stephanie Plum series. ( )

Honestly, I did not finish this book. I think the series has run it's course several books ago. I read the first 17 books in order and have been picking up the books randomly since then. I just cannot read anymore; they are all the same. ( )

Ok yeah, so the formula is pretty much the same in every book. But thats what I like about them! No surprises! The stories are best consumed by Audio because for me, at this point Loralie King actually IS Stephanie Plum. ( )

Someone has turned a businessman into a life-size ice cream bar and Ranger needs Stephanie's help finding out who. Going undercover for Ranger has its downsides - working with "interesting" characters at an ice cream factory and having a killer leave a note on her door. Then again, working with Ranger has its upsides too - spending the night in the Magic Kingdom while sharing a room.

While all this is going on Lula has decided to work on her own reality show with Randy Briggs - all of which have them being naked and taking chances. On this note, I have to say the Janet Evanovich does an amazing job of showing the very real friendship between Stephanie, Lula, and Connie. Despite how outlandish Lula's ideas usually are they support her through them all. They never tell her that her ideas are stupid or that she is being ridiculous - I love their friendship!

This was a good Stephanie Plum novel made even better in audio format by the narrator, Lorelei King. King does an excellent job on each character and can keep the same voices from book to book. She is the reason I continue to listen to Stephanie Plum novels as opposed to actually reading them. ( )
