Before Stephanie can even step foot off Flight 127 Hawaii to Newark, she is knee deep in trouble. Her dream vacation turned into a nightmare, and she is flying back to New Jersey solo. Worse still, her seatmate never returned to the plane after the L.A. layover. Now he is dead, in a garbage can, waiting for curbside pickup. His killer could be anyone. And a ragtag collection of thugs and psychos, not to mention the FBI, are all looking for a photograph the dead man was supposed to be carrying. Only one other person has seen the missing photo,Stephanie Plum. Now she is the target, and she does not intend to end up in a garbage can. With the help of an FBI sketch artist Stephanie re-creates the person in the photo. Unfortunately the first sketch turns out to look like Tom Cruise, and the second sketch like Ashton Kutcher. Until Stephanie can improve her descriptive skills, she will need to watch her back.

You don't look for a lot of substance with this series; however, there's a lot of laughs!

Who reads this stuff!!! New York Times best selling author!!! Obviously, I did! Picked the book up from the one week read list to fill in inbetween books. I just can't believe that someone can make a living writing such stuff.

This was my first Evanovich read, and I was not impressed at all. I loved the main character and her mysterious men, however the writing was too simple and corny to say the least. I know that this is a part of a series so will try another.

Stephanie seems to be getting dumber, wimpier and shallower with each book. She makes the same stupid mistakes with the same predictable results. The fun and somewhat naive girl from the earlier books is a dolt that has lost much of her endearing qualities. I have lost respect for her character.

Another fun romp of a book by Janet Evanovich. The main character Stephanie Plum finds herself in the most ridiculous situations--generally very funny ones. This is a fast an easy but satisfying read.

Stephanie Plum - always a winner! I love that she sleeps with both men in this book - a little slutty but they are the only two over 18 books. I can't decide if I want her to decide on the one she wants to be with. Laugh out loud, funny.

Evanovich continues to phone it in. At least in this one Stephanie is self-aware enough to comment that stringing along both Morelli and Ranger makes her not such a nice person. How long can Evanovich continue to substitute that dead relationship horse for character development, before Stephanie and her long suffering fans can move on to something that goes somewhere? I guess I'll go re-read the first few Plum novels and remind myself why I kept with her this long.

this is not my kind of book. did not finish

Funny as usual. However, it'd been so long since I read the last, that the entire beginning of the book talking about Hawaii was CONFUSING!! Almost stopped because I thought I'd missed the last in the series. I hadn't but didn't like how that was set up. Almost needs to be a downloadable story from her site!

Lots of Lula which is great but I want to see something happen. The usual Stephanie is fun but I need some progression!
