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

"The things Evanovich does so well - family angst, sweet eroticism, stealth shopping, that stunning mix of terror and hilarity - are done better than ever here." (Booklist, Starred Review)
"Evanovich does it again, delivering an even more suspenseful and more outrageous turn with the unstoppable Stephanie." (Publishers Weekly)

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Another great read form the Stephanie Plum series!

Love all of the Stephanie Plum series!
And this installment did not disappoint. The story lines are always exciting, sometimes thrilling even a bit scary then always the comedic side added in.
The characters are so much fun, a great BIG shout out to Lorelei King for an amazing narration, you have made me fall in love with all of the characters even more. My personal fave is Lula, she is a riot but Grandma Mazur is right there along with her. Find myself wishing I could have a day to just hang out with the two of them!!

Another solid listening experience.

Janet Evanovich's numbered Stephanie Plum books are peopled by familiar characters in a familiar location. And written so well that they are not too predictable or boring. Good narration allows for some sound of Jersey, without it being a distraction.

I’m okay with this narrator, she at least brought back to life the characters that make these stories laugh out loud funny.

I dislike that it ends, but looking forward to #9. I’m finding these stories to be just overall entertaining and fun to listen to.

Pee your pants hysterical! All of Janet’s number books make me laugh hysterically as the characters get themselves into some serious mischief! You can’t go wrong with these books.

Hate the background music!

Why add that background music? It is a book! This is the second time I really enjoy a book and that add music. No.
