Not to mention fall-over-laughing funny. Although, this installment isn't as action filled as the other Plum novels it is still an all around good read. When Stephanie's cheating ex-husband goes missing she's forced to look for him while being stalked by his lover and her arch-enemy Joyce, she has to sneak into his law office and find out what's going on. Of course, bad things keep happening to her as always and she finds herself in constant and hilarious danger. Standard Stephenie Plum book. Things blow up, cars are destroyed, much hijinks ensue around and to her, and there is high sexual tension (and maybe some sex) between her and Joe, and her and Ranger. Entertaining but no new ground. Perfect to read a sunny spring weekend. A little laughter, some vehicles destroyed, complicated relationships.. A request from Ranger sends Stephanie Plum into her ex-husband's (Dickie Orr) law office and naturally ends up in an explosive argument. When Dickie is found to be missing, Stephanie becomes the prime suspect, but that doesn't slow her down as she continues her job as a bounty hunter. The slope of this series is very slippery now, and I'm not sure I even want to try to hold on. The main plot was - whatever, and the subplots were senseless. I accepted the differences in the main characters (i.e.: Ranger talks - a lot) as possible maturing processes, but I could not accept the language. It was well beyond acceptable and not funny. To satisfy a need to finish the Series Challenge (personalized), I may give Fearless Fourteen a go and hope for the best, but it's too soon to tell. Right now, I'm extremely disappointed.
