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.

Evanovich at her best

Love all the character interaction and my favorite performance by a grandma! I am considering joining the band myself just to wear inappropriate clothes.

There Can Be Only ONE!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, good story well read. Seems to be a much more serious storyline than the usual flit and flutter. Nice to have Ranger be the center of the story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Twelve Sharp?

Seeing the more human side of Ranger was a treat. The great man does have another side, for the right reasons.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Morrelli saves Ranger.
