Seven Up

De: Janet Evanovich

Narrado por: Lorelei King

Mud wrestling, motorcycles, fast cars, fast food, and fast men abound in this wildly entertaining seventh installment of the Stephanie Plum series from Janet Evanovich, the “most popular mystery writer alive” (The New York Times).

Semiretired mob guy Eddie DeCooch is caught trafficking contraband cigarettes through Trenton, New Jersey. When DeCooch fails to show for a court appearance, bond enforcement agent Stephanie Plum is assigned the task of finding him and dragging his decrepit ass back to jail. Not such an easy job, it turns out, since DeCooch has learned a lot of tricks over the years and isn’t afraid to use his gun. He’s already shot Loretta Ricci, an innocent old lady, and left her for worm food in his shed. He wouldn’t mind shooting Stephanie next.

Likeable losers (and Steph’s former high school classmates) Walter “MoonMan” Dunphy and Dougie “The Dealer” Kruper have inadvertently become involved with DeCooch. They’ve gotten sucked into an operation that is much more than simple cigarette smuggling and holds risks far greater than anyone could have imagined.

When Dougie disappears, Steph goes into search mode. When Mooner disappears, she calls in the heavy artillery and asks master bounty hunter Ranger for help. Ranger’s price for the job? One night with Stephanie, dusk to dawn. Not information she wants to share with her sometimes-live-in roommate, vice cop Joe Morelli.

And on the home front, Stephanie’s “perfect” sister, Valerie, has decided to move back to Trenton, bringing her two kids from hell with her. Grandma Mazur is asking questions about being a lesbian, and Bob, the bulimic dog, is eating everything in sight—including the furniture.

A typical dilemma in the world of Plum…

Loving This Stephanie Plum Series

My daughter turned me onto Janet and Stephanie. I started with book 1 and moving to book 8. Can't wait to continue.

Love that Lorelei is telling them now!

Great story! Lorelei does an amazing job! My only issue is she changed up Ranger’s accent in this one. Other than that it’s another great Stephanie Plum story!

As a side note, does anyone know why they skipped book 4 for Lorelei to do?? Just curious. I can’t find it. They launched 1-3 then 5 now 6.

New release date doesn’t mean new release.

This is just the same audiobook that was recorded over 20 years ago with a new release date. I expected a new reading by the amazing Lorelei King but it was the same book that I already purchased years ago. Not disappointed in the book or the narrator but I do feel tricked by the publisher who made it seem like we were going to get a fresh reading of Lorelei’s first JE narration.

A really good time!!

Love all her books and anecdotes really enjoyed this especially getting to know her sister a little bit🤔

Great Book Again

I love the Stephanie Plum series. When I start the book it's so hard to put down. When i finish I can't wait to start the next one. The books are funny, entertaining and very enjoyable.

Love Love Love you

I realized why I am hooked and it's because her mom is my grandma always had dinner on the table with a desert and always had a invitation

Ranger’s voice Changed

I love all the books in the Stephanie Plum series, but they changed Ranger’s voice in this one. In books 1-6 he didn’t have an accent and for some reason it throws me off. The accent doesn’t match the character and the previous voice was better.

Another great story, weird narration changes

The narrator gave Ranger a Hispanic/puerto rican accent all of a sudden in this book. The previous six he didn’t have an accent. And it seems really out of place. Also she’s pronouncing Gramma Mazur’s name differently. Idk…odd things to change up all of a sudden.

Not up to prior writings.

I loved the prior books in this series. I had some good chuckles in the beginning, but I felt the story was at times silly and didn't make sense. I almost quit listening. Just not up to her prior writings. But I do love Stephanie and look forward to new additions in this series.

Not up to par

The best part of this book was the narration. The story and plot were typical Stephanie Plum. What dragged this episode down was the high elevation of swear words. Certainly not necessary in the lighthearted, but funny and twisty world of SP.
