Off the Bookshelf: GOING ROGUE, by Janet Evanovich

 

Stephanie Plum is back, and things are even more grim than they've been getting.

Connie, office manager for the bail bonds office where Stephanie works, has vanished. Soon, Stephanie and Lula learn Connie has been kidnapped.

These guys have got to be hard core, desperate, and nastily stupid, to dare to kidnap Connie. And they don't know what they've taken on, when they get Stephanie angry with them and determined to get Connie back unharmed. Without telling the police (via Joe Morelli) what's going on. Because then things could get ... tricky.

The kidnappers want something that they think Vinnie, the bail bonds office owner, was given. Stephanie and Lula go on a wild goose chase, meeting more bizarre characters in Trenton, as they follow the trail of the maguffin ... and realize someone was lying to them.

You don't want to get Stephanie Plum angry with you, because she's finally willing to not just pick up a gun, but learn to shoot it.

Fun! The bizarreness that is normal life for Stephanie Plum just keeps coming.
