Dirty Thirty

November was the month that Janet Evanovich fans got to revisit their very favorite characters – Stephanie, Lula, Ranger, Morelli, Bob, and Grandma Mazur. The series began in 1993 with the publication of One for the Money and now readers can enjoy Dirty Thirty. Yes, 30 books that have made me laugh tears of joy, roll my eyes, and have a book crush on Ranger. Stephanie Plum and her band of characters get into the most ridiculous situations that keep fans coming back for more.

In Dirty Thirty, Stephanie is hired by local jeweler Martin Rabner to find his missing security guard Nutsy who is suspected to be the robber of his jewelry store. Stephanie finds Nutsy but ends up moving him in to her apartment for his safety. Lula moves also in after her apartment is burned. This is way too many people in her small apartment so Stephanie moves in with Ranger (and Bob). As the story unfolds there are hospital hijinks, veterinary visits, cat capers, stun gun usages, and failed attempts to catch bail skips.
