Publisher Description
Stephanie Plum, the brassy babe in the powder blue Buick is back and she's having a bad hair day -- for the whole month of January. She's been given the unpopular task of finding Mo Bedemier, Trenton's most beloved citizen, arrested for carrying concealed, gone no-show for his court appearance.
And to make matters worse, she's got Lula, a former hooker turned file clerk -- now a wannabe bounty hunter -- at her side, sticking like glue. Lula's big and blonde and black and itching to get the chance to lock up a crook in the trunk of her car.
Morelli, the New Jersey vice cop with the slow-burning smile that undermines a girl's strongest resolve is being polite. So what does this mean? Has he found a new love? Or is he manipulating Steph, using her in his police investigation, counting on her unmanageable curiosity and competitive Jersey attitude?
Once again, the entire One for the Money crew is in action, including Ranger and Grandma Mazur, searching for Mo, tripping down a trail littered with dead drug dealers, leading Stephanie to suspect Mo has traded his ice-cream scoop for a vigilante gun.
Cursed with a disastrous new hair color and an increasing sense that it's really time to get a new job, Stephanie spirals and tumbles through Three to Get Deadly with all the wisecracks and pace her fans have come to expect.

"I read all these within 6 months. Before, it took me 6 months just to read one book. Maybe it's because I don't have a baby attached to my leg all the time, or maybe they're all easy reads. Regardless, I would read them all again, and I never read books twice, but I would read these again."

Quotes
-
“Despite her new clownish orange hair job, Stephanie muddles through another case full of snappy one-liners as well as corpses. By turns buttressed and hobbled by her charmingly clueless family and various cohorts, the redoubtable Stephanie is a character crying out for a screen debut.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Stephanie Plum stands apart from the female series characters who are so popular in crime fiction. She’s funnier, tougher, politically incorrect, and just loves her job to death. This may be the break-out entry in an already critically acclaimed series. Be prepared for significant demand.”
— Booklist -
“More fast and funny action from a winning writer.”
— Library Journal -
“Stephanie’s third case dispenses almost entirely with mystery and detection in favor of a comedy/variety format. But in going repeatedly for the funny bone, Evanovich, who clearly agrees with her heroine that ‘adaptation is one of the great advantages to being born and bred in Jersey,’ is obviously dealing from strength.”

" I can't help it. These books are pure escapist smutty enjoyment. But anything I couldn't put down and ran right out to get the next one I had to give at least four stars. Simple and fun. "
— Micah, 1/25/2014 -
" The humor is such a large part of the stories. I like Lori Petty's reading, but the newer audio books are read by Lorelei King. I hope that each of the three books would have their own unabridged version out at some time. "

" If you like a laugh out load book that is easy reading and fun this is the book for you. It is also catagorized as a mystry so it keeps you reading. All of her "Stephanie Plum" books are the same way. "
