The smash-hit #1 bestselling author Janet Evanovich takes you on the ride of your life in the next Stephanie Plum adventure, Seven Up!
Semiretired mob guy Eddie DeCooch is caught trafficking contraband cigarettes through Trenton, New Jersey. When DeCooch fails to show for a court appearance, bond enforcement agent Stephanie Plum is assigned the task of finding him and dragging his decrepit ass back to jail. Not such an easy job, it turns out, since DeCooch has learned a lot of tricks over the years and isn't afraid to use his gun. He's already shot Loretta Ricci, an innocent old lady, and left her for worm food in his shed. He wouldn't mind shooting Stephanie next.
Likeable losers (and Steph's former high school classmates) Walter "MoonMan" Dunphy and Dougie "The Dealer" Kruper have inadvertently become involved with DeCooch. They've gotten sucked into an operation that is much more than simple cigarette smuggling and holds risks far greater than anyone could have imagined.
When Dougie disappears, Steph goes into search mode. When Mooner disappears, she calls in the heavy artillery and asks master bounty hunter Ranger for help. Ranger's price for the job? One night with Stephanie, dusk to dawn. Not information she wants to share with her sometime live-in roommate, vice cop Joe Morelli,
A typical dilemma in the world of Plum.
And on the homefront, Stephanie's "perfect" sister, Valerie, has decided to move back to Trenton, bringing her two kids from hell with her. Grandma Mazur is asking questions about being a lesbian, and Bob, the bulimic dog, is eating everything in sightâ??including the furniture.
Mud wrestling, motorcycles, fast cars, fast food, and fast men. It's Janet Evanovich's Seven Up.… (more)

I don't know who is funnier Stephanie or her grandma! ( )

When I'm in a book slump and I find myself disenchanted with everything I'm picking up, I know it's time for a Stephanie Plum novel. Nothing busts me out of my slump faster than reading about Grandma Mazur, Joe, Ranger, Lula, and Stephanie's crazy antics. And the seventh book in the series didn't disappoint -- it was exactly what I needed to remember why reading can be so much fun!

As always, there were genuine laugh-out-loud moments, roll-my-eyes moments, and moments when I was in complete and utter disbelief. For once, the antagonist was genuinely crazy, and there was a moment in the book when the plot got much darker than I'm used to from a Stephanie Plum novel. But by the next chapter, it was all back to the feel-good capers I've come to know and love.

Another wonderful instalment in the series. I'm eager for more! ( )

Another fun installment in the Stephanie Plum series. I have been going back and re-reading the series as it has been a long time since I read some of these books. Each time I pick up another one, it is like hanging out with a friend I haven't seen in a long time. ( )

Stephanie is assigned a bounty for a senior citizen, Eddie DeChooch who is far more wily at getting away from her than anyone expected. However, while searching for DeChooch Stephanie stumbles on a body and unraveling the links between Eddie and the corpse and the disappearance of a few of Stephanie's acquaintance will take all of Stephanie's skills and luck.

It's more of the same for this series and as long as I space these out it's comforting rather than irritating. There's more Morelli v. Ranger hemming and hawing from Stephanie, Grandma Mazur continues to say the most ridiculous things, and Stephanie somehow manages to solve the crime yet again. I most enjoyed the growth for Stephanie's mother and sister in this volume. If you like formulaic mystery series, this ain't bad although there are a few spots the book shows its age. ( )
