Plot Summary
In Notorious Nineteen, Stephanie Plum is at it again. Her bank account has gone negative, Ranger and Morelli are still on her tail, and she can't find a skip worth decent money. When Vinnie gives a high-end bond to an embezzling retiree, he thinks he's making a safe bet that the old man won't run off, but now Geoffrey Cubbin is FTA and Stephanie's on the case.
After the fight about Hawaii in book eighteen of the series, Stephanie's been avoiding both of the men in her life, trying to let things cool off and get her head straight, but that doesn't last long. After hiring Grandma Mazur to go undercover, and finding another missing ex-patient, Stephanie must team up again with Morelli in order to track them down. Ranger's back as well, ready to hire Stephanie to help her bank account and himself, and both men are back in competition.
Can Stephanie really protect Ranger from a Special Forces operative intent on killing him? Will she ever find her FTA and be able to pay her bills? Determined to do things herself, and to protect those she cares about, Stephanie will have to put her bravery to the test in order to succeed. The only real question is, how many cars will she go through in the process, and will she or won't she get together with one of her men?
Janet Evanovich is New Jersey born and raised, and uses that fact to create realistic settings in her stories. She currently alternates residences between Florida and New Hampshire with Pete, her husband of over forty years. Before she began writing, she got her degree from Douglass College and studied art, and is the first in her family to go to college.
"I absolutely adore these books. They're fast paced, with interesting plot lines, and are hilarious. Add that with a spunky female lead who blackmails her cousin Vinny into giving her a job as a bounty hunter and the super sexy badass Ranger, also a bounty hunter (who I will always prefer over Morelli) how could you say no?"
— Emmalee (5 out of 5 stars)
Publisher Summary
#1 bestselling author Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum novels are: “irresistible” (Houston Chronicle), “stunning” (Booklist), “outrageous” (Publishers Weekly), “brilliantly evocative” (The Denver Post), and “making trouble and winning hearts” (USA Today). New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is certain of three truths: People don’t just vanish into thin air. Never anger old people. And don’t do what Tiki tells you to do. After a slow summer of chasing low-level skips for her cousin Vinnie’s bail bonds agency, Stephanie Plum finally lands an assignment that could put her checkbook back in the black. Geoffrey Cubbin, facing trial for embezzling millions from Trenton’s premier assisted-living facility, has mysteriously vanished from the hospital after an emergency appendectomy. Now it’s on Stephanie to track him down. Unfortunately, Cubbin has disappeared without a trace, a witness, or his money-hungry wife. Rumors are stirring that he must have had help with the daring escape . . . or that maybe he never made it out of his room alive. Since the hospital staff’s lips seem to be tighter than the security, and it’s hard for Stephanie to blend in to assisted living, Stephanie’s Grandma Mazur goes in undercover. But when a second felon goes missing from the same hospital, Stephanie is forced into working side by side with Trenton’s hottest cop, Joe Morelli, in order to crack the case. The real problem is, no Cubbin also means no way to pay the rent. Desperate for money—or maybe just desperate—Stephanie accepts a secondary job guarding her secretive and mouthwatering mentor Ranger from a deadly Special Forces adversary. While Stephanie is notorious for finding trouble, she may have found a little more than she bargained for this time around. Then again—a little food poisoning, some threatening notes, and a bridesmaid’s dress with an excess of taffeta never killed anyone . . . or did they? If Stephanie Plum wants to bring in a paycheck, she’ll have to remember: No guts, no glory.

" Fun read, but don't read it when hungry. All the references to pizza, fried chicken, donuts, cake, pot roast, and much more food might cause you to over eat. Don't blame it on Tiki either. "
— Grace, 1/29/2014 -

" some of my favorite characters, not as many laugh out loud moments in this one. Love these books for light, quick, reading! Never let me down! (not as big of a fan of the movie version of Ranger in One for the Money!) "
— Amanda, 12/31/2013 -
" I am so glad that I started reading tis series! Another good one! "
— Tami, 12/29/2013 -
" Like watching a cartoon while eating an individual-sized bag of air-puffed cheesy snacks - amusing but not brain-straining, tasty but not a full meal. "
— Carolyn, 12/16/2013 -
" Another hoot as usual "
— Anne, 12/10/2013 -
" I really shouldn't read these anymore but it's hard to resist. Of course it's more of the same but it is always a quick somewhat amusing read. "

" One of my favorite authors always a good fun read! "
— Raechel, 12/9/2013 -
" Same old, same old Stephanie Plum novel. I wish that something different would happen to Stephanie Plum. The books are fun, but just the same mix of strange skips, blown up cars and love-life confusion. I'm ready for Stephanie Plum to have an original story! "
— Melanie, 12/7/2013 -
" Stephanie seems to be back, this one was a fun read, I enjoyed it, much better than some of the more recent editions. :-) "
— Charmayne, 11/18/2013 -
" Still plenty of crazy stuff with Lula but I wish that Stephanie's character progressed in some way, she still is nearly as incompetent as the day she started in the bounty hunter business. "
— David, 10/5/2013 -
" Definitely one of the better books in the series, not the funniest, but nice to see Stephanie Plum getting it together. "

— April, 3/21/2013 -
" Classic Plum. Formulaic but always fun! "
— Terri, 3/8/2013 -
" As usual, Janet has written another crazy, funny Stephanie Plum mystery. I seems very unlikely anyone can have as many cars torched, bounties escape capture and general bad luck as Stephanie does, but hey, it's Jersey so anything is possible. "
— Kathy, 1/8/2013 -
" Always good escapist fun. It can't be easy to keep the entertainment level of these stories so high. Addictive. "
— Romily, 1/4/2013 -
" As much fun as all of the other Stephanie Plum books! Blown up cars, Morelli vs Ranger! Too much fun. "
— Lana, 12/13/2012
