Publisher's summary

The #1 bestselling phenomenon continues in the eighth Stephanie Plum novel. The stakes get higher, the crimes get nastier, the chases get faster, and the men get hotter.

This time Stephanie, Morelli, Ranger. Lula, Valerie, and Grandma Mazur are strapped in for the ride of their lives. Stephanie is hired to find a missing child. But things aren't always as they seem and Stephanie must determine if she's working for the right side of the law. Plus, there's the Morelli question: can a Jersey girl keep her head on straight when more than just bullets are aimed for her heart? And with the Plum and Morelli relationship looking rocky, is it time for Ranger to move in for the kill? Janet Evanovich's latest thriller proves that Hard Eight will never be enough.

Critic reviews

Hard Eight is most emphatically not Raymond Chandler but, like his work, a piece of finely crafted prose.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“As close to summer escapism as you can get. Evanovich hits a high note with her newest...a great addition to a well-stocked beach bag.” —Houston Chronicle

“Evanovich produces more than \"beach reading\". She writes rollicking, raunchy, hysterical fiction that is so real, you will laugh out loud and want to visit the Burg.” —Rockwall County News

Love Stephanie Plum series

I love all of the books but the narrator is not the best! They need to try someone different. Love the story though!

Too short

So here’s the deal I love Janet Ivanovich and her stories. I’m very disappointed how short they are on Audible! Three chapters that was it. I’m putting up with it because I really like her stories, but come on we could at least make it an eight hour book for the money we’re paying, that is very disappointing. Also switching the reader is a little hard as well.

Abridged

It wasn’t until half way through this book I realized this was not the full book. Nowhere in the book description did it say that it was an abridged story I feel ripped off. I used one of my credits for an incomplete story.
