In this high-energy story of abduction and murder in two cities--Trenton, New Jersey, and Las Vegas--Stephanie Plum becomes the murderer's prime target, wooed with flowers and photos that reveal how a web master stalks her through the electronic kingdom of cyberspace. The novel has Plum's usual sidekicks--the larger-than-life Lula; the alcohol-saturated Connie, assistant to Stephanie's boss, Vinnie; and Tank, Stephanie's bodyguard. Stephanie is relentless in her pursuit of the missing Samuel Singh, whom she has been hired to track down. Occasionally, King groups and accents words and phrases in a way that sets up a singsong rhythm. M.D.H.

*Starred Review* Stephanie Plum is on the loose again, and with help from her indomitable associates, she leaves chaos in her wake and manages to track down bail-bond jumpers. King is a good match for the irrepressible Stephanie, and although the tempo of her reading sometimes seems a bit slow, she captures the pervasive humor and the concluding fireworks when Stephanie's own life is in danger. Libraries may find the packaging awkward, and with long stretches (up to 10 minutes) between bookmarks, this may be inconvenient for some listeners. Recorded Books also distributes a version of this title, narrated by C. J. Critt. Purchase according to patron demand and price considerations.

Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is assigned the case of Samuel Singh, an immigrant who has vanished on a Visa bond. The case will take her to Las Vegas, while her personal life involves rooming with Joe, working with Ranger, and dealing with her mother, who is stressed out owing to having Valerie, Steph's sister, in the house, unwed and about to give birth. As usual, there is lots of humor, a gaggle of unusual characters, the exploits of Stephanie's colleague Lulu, and, this time, a serial killer who is after Stephanie. Lorelei King brings a sultry yet wry voice to Stephanie's story, capturing the absurdity of many of the situations. Ranger and Joe are well voiced, and King's characterization of Lulu captures her unique personality without verging into caricature. Even minor players, such as Singh's landlord/mother-in-law-to-be, are brought to vivid life. Highly recommended for public libraries.-Melody A.

Narrator King somehow makes the crazy, comic antics of Evanovich's irresistible bond agent, Stephanie Plum, seem almost rational in this fine audio adaptation. The story opens with the outrageous apprehension of a nude, Vaseline-coated fugitive by Stephanie and her plus-sized, ex-hooker, "sometimes partner" Lula. Soon after, Stephanie sets off on the trail of Samuel Singh, an illegal immigrant who apparently fled a Visa bond and his fiancée. With plenty of prior experience narrating Evanovich titles (Hard Eight, etc.), King has no trouble highlighting the eccentricities of the author's invariably quirky cast of characters, as well as the ongoing romantic triangle between Stephanie, her sexy partner Ranger and Joe, a Trenton cop with whom she shares a "long, strange history." Evanovich's quick-witted, sarcastic and often raunchy dialogue takes the edge off the story's suspense, but King's chameleon voice and ease with accents make this a lively listening experience. Simultaneous release with the St. Martin's hardcover (Forecasts, June 23). (July) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
