Publisher's summary

Welcome to Trenton, New Jersey, where bounty hunter Stephanie Plum's life is about to implode in Janet Evanovich's wildest, hottest novel yet!

FIRST A STRANGER APPEARS
While chasing down the usual cast of miscreants and weirdos Stephanie discovers that a crazed woman is stalking her.

THEN THE STRANGER REVEALS HER SECRETS
The woman dresses in black, carries a 9mm Glock, and has a bad attitude and a mysterious connection to dark and dangerous Carlos Manoso …street name, Ranger.

NEXT, SOMEBODY DIES
The action turns deadly serious, and Stephanie goes from hunting skips to hunting a murderer.

SOON, THE CHASE IS ON
Ranger needs Stephanie for more reasons than he can say. And now, the two are working together to find a killer, rescue a missing child, and stop a lunatic from raising the body count. When Stephanie Plum and Ranger get too close for comfort, vice cop Joe Morelli (her on-again, off-again boyfriend) steps in.

Will the ticking clock stop at the stroke of twelve, or will a stranger in the wind find a way to stop Stephanie Plum…forever? Filled with Janet Evanovich's trademark action, nonstop adventure, and sharp humor, Twelve Sharp shows why her novels have been called "hot stuff" (The New York Times), and Evanovich herself "the master" (San Francisco Examiner).

Don't forget to download the rest of the Stephanie Plum series.

Best yet as both a novel and audiobook!

Either read the novel or, better yet, listen to the excellent audiobook! Lorelei King nails it!

I need to read more of this series!

God I know this is horrible of me but I want Stephanie to get in bed with Ranger again. The flirting and the relationship between these two is so bad but so sexy in the best way.

One of my favorite Plum books

What made the experience of listening to Twelve Sharp the most enjoyable?

Starting from the beginning of the Plum series, this is one of the best plots. The dialogue and characters are always so much fun!

What about Lorelei King’s performance did you like?

I LOVE Lorelei's performances. Her character voices are wonderful and I could never listen to a Plum book read by anyone else.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

"Did somebody step on a duck?"

Stephanie rides again.

As always, Janet Evanovich has written with descriptive characters that we have gotten to know over the years. She has maintained that wonderful sense of humor. I was both entertained and captivated.

I wish she'd stopped here

What made the experience of listening to Twelve Sharp the most enjoyable?

I really liked the inside look an Ranger's life and backstory. It would have made a good ultimate or penultimate chapter to the series. Unfortunately the books just got worse and more ridiculous from here on out.

What about Lorelei King’s performance did you like?

Some of the side characters voices have begun to get ridiculous

Any additional comments?

This is the last book where Stephanie Plum is a likable character.
