Dirty Thirty (30) (Stephanie Plum)

Dirty Thirty is the latest installment in Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum mystery series. In this book, Stephanie is hired for multiple bounty hunter jobs but the main job she is working on is for a pawn shop owner named Martin Plover. Plover claims his store was robbed and the thief dropped the bag of jewels outside. He said the security guard he hired named Andy ran off with the jewels. He wants Stephanie to find Andy.

Just like the other Stephanie Plum books, this one is a wild goose chase. Plum’s boyfriend, Morelli, a police officer is out of town and Stephanie must take his big dog Bob with her wherever she goes. Bob is not well trained to say the least. She also has her sidekick, Lula, with her who claims there is an ogre from Beowulf who comes into her apartment while she is sleeping. Lula is crazy as always. The love affair between Stephanie and Ranger is also alive and well and Stephanie must hold herself back since she has committed herself to Morelli. Ranger is always there when she needs him though. From digging up corpses to tracking down homeless people, this book is nonstop action and fun.
