This story does not get old and it gets difficult to put the to put the book down. Once I finished this book, I could not pick up the ninth book any sooner. (  ) bitemeeric | Sep 9, 2009 | This is airplane stuff....a quick fun/funny read. What a cast of characters!! ( ) TicoCharlie | Jun 30, 2009 | So in this one Stephanie finally gets it on with Ranger. It’s a one-night stand tough, since Stephanie still wants something structured and permanent and Ranger is obviously not the type. Instead, she and Morelli get back together. We’re not sure on what terms since Morelli has said that he wants her to quit being a bounty hunter and become more of a “regular” girl. That won’t happen. As idiotic as Stephanie is, she usually lands on her feet. Once again, she hasn’t learned a thing about her job or anything. She stupidly goes after belligerent FTAs without backup or a gun or any other weapon at her disposal. She makes stupid judgments about her diet and gets into idiotic situations. Like once she is in the park and makes the fatal mistake of tossing a piece of Cracker Jack at a goose. Instantly, she is swarmed and knocked over and left smeared with goose shit. It’s like she watched Keystone Kops movies as basic training. I think I'm done with this broad. Bookmarque | Jun 13, 2009 | Comic genius. Another absurd and brilliant Stephanie Plum adventure. In this mystery, Stephanie's parent's next door neighbor asks her to help find her missing granddaughter. But, as always, there's more to the story and the more Stephanie gets involved the more people come after her leaving snakes on her door and spiders in her car and she has to ask the mysterious Ranger for help...again.

Author Janet Evanovich has made a bold move in using a soupçon of child jeopardy to pull this series out of the comfortable but formulaic pattern it was threatening to fall into. It's still funny, and yes, some cars are destroyed, but now there's a real edge of darkness under the humor. Fans needn't fear, though: Jersey girl Stephanie is still full of sass and Tastykakes. --Barrie Trinkle

There were a few things I liked about the book.
1: I love Stephanie’s niece Mary Alice. How can you not love a kid who thinks she’s a horse?
2: I also like the creativity of the murder. I know it’s morbid, but you gotta love the brain of someone who can be so creative. To get a dead man into an apartment, he is cut in half and placed in gym bags so they are inconspicuous. Clever, to say the least.
3: After so many books, you have to get creative with the bad guys. This time they wore costumes. I like the creativity, but it’s hard to take a guy in a bunny suit seriously, even if he is throwing fire bombs at you.
4. Albert Klaughn (Clown) .. enough said. I love the Clown. He reminds me of an 8 year old girl wanting to know everything she can about the world in as little time as possible. I imagine the numerous questions he asks come out a mile a minute.
On paper, it seems like “What else can you ask for?” But, I thought the book was kind of blah. Those things stood out, but in 300 pages, that’s really not a lot. They can’t all be 5s.
I give Hard Eight 2 bookmarks. (
