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's want 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 sight--including the furniture.
Mud wrestling, motorcycles, fast cars, fast food, and fast men. It's Seven Up. Absolutely Janet Evanovich at her very best.

"I would have to admit this book was a exciting, high speed and just wonderful. Between men and breaking into her appartment you never know what to expect. You never know when Hot or cold is going to happen. Just love these books and heard Eight was even better. Can't wait. Happy reading"

Narrator King somehow makes the crazy, comic antics of Evanvovich's irresistible bond agent, Stephanie Plum, seem almost rational in this fine audio adaptation…with plenty of prior experience narrating Evanovich titles, King has no trouble highlighting the eccentricities of the author's invariably quirky cast of characters…King's chameleon voice and ease with accents make this a lively listening experience.
— Publishers Weekly" 3.75 really, so her books are a little formulaic? Oh well still love em. But ater book 7 which I obviously had to read straight away I'll probably take a break. But I'll read them all because they are good mysteries and truly laugh out loud funny and that doesn't happen often. "
— Buffy, 2/4/2014" I love how here car gets blown up in every book. "
— Karl, 2/2/2014" Loved this one. I laughed all the way through and thought its one of the best - so far in the series anyway. The characters all seemed to mingle in really well, even though there are quite a few now and even I wanted a cupcake by the end!! "
— Curlyhair, 2/2/2014" Read review of "One for the Money". They're all basically the same. "

— Paula, 1/7/2014" The book was good but they changed the narrator and the new woman was horrible. Very whiny and not good at all. "
— Gwen, 1/4/2014" This book is very intertaining and made me chuckle......the clumseyness is like me, but this girl also reminds me of my Jody.......mostly when it comes to her pets. "

— Marissa, 2/8/2013" Looks like seven is a lucky number for bestselling author Janet Evanovich, whose seventh mystery starring New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is wilder, wackier and filled with more outrageous antics and characters than ever before. "
— Raina, 1/1/2013" Read up to this book in the series and stopped, I refused to become any further invested in a series where the main character does not evolve and the author insist on prolonging the story for the almighty dollar $$$...the story did have its funny parts I will give the author that much. "

— Kelly-ann, 10/6/2011" Excellent, laugh out loud material. Not so strong on the ending, but it revealed much about Stephanie's thinking - more than the other works. "
