Sizzling Sixteen

A Stephanie Plum Novel

De: Janet Evanovich

Narrado por: Lorelei King

Trenton, New Jersey, bounty hunter Stephanie Plum has inherited a "lucky" bottle from her Uncle Pip. Problem is, Uncle Pip didn't specify if the bottle brought good luck or bad luck. . . .

BAD LUCK:

Vinnie, of Vincent Plum Bail Bonds, has run up a gambling debt of $786,000 with mobster Bobby Sunflower and is being held until the cash can be produced. Nobody else will pay to get Vinnie back, leaving it up to Stephanie, office manager Connie, and file clerk Lula to raise the money if they want to save their jobs.

GOOD LUCK:

Being in the business of tracking down people, Stephanie, Lula, and Connie have an advantage in finding Vinnie. If they can rescue him, it will buy them some time to raise the cash.

BAD LUCK:

Finding a safe place to hide Vinnie turns out to be harder than raising $786,000. Vinnie's messing up Mooner's vibe, running up pay-per-view porn charges in Ranger's apartment, and making Stephanie question genetics.

GOOD LUCK:

Between a bonds office yard sale that has the entire Burg turning out, Mooner's Hobbit-Con charity event, and Uncle Pip's lucky bottle, they just might raise enough money to save the business, and Vinnie, from ruin.

BAD LUCK:

Saving Vincent Plum Bail Bonds means Stephanie can keep being a bounty hunter. In Trenton, this involves hunting down a man wanted for polygamy, a turnpike toilet paper bandit, and a drug dealer with a pet alligator named Mr. Jingles.

GOOD LUCK:

The job of bounty hunter comes with perks in the guise of Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, and the dark and dangerous security expert, Ranger. With any luck at all, Uncle Pip's lucky bottle will have Stephanie getting lucky---the only question is . . . with whom?

Janet Evanovich's Sizzling Sixteen . . . so hot, the book might spontaneously combust!

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Lorelei King performs Evanovich's most recent mystery with her usual panache…King's tone is just right for Plum's madcap adventures.” —AudioFile magazine

“Lorelei King may be only one person but she realistically creates all the diverse characters…Listeners will never be able to imagine anyone else narrating the wild times of Stephanie and her friends. Entertaining listening at its best.” —SoundCommentary.com

“For fans of Evanovich mysteries on audiobook, Lorelei King is more than a reader -- she is Stepahnie Plum.” —Publishers Weekly

Surprisingly funny

The storyline takes a lot of turns, making it hard to guess what is next.

More Plum adventures!

The capers of Stephanie, Lula and the gang continue to delight. Cluck in a Bucket, funeral homes and this time an alligator join the fun.

Holy Hobbits!!

I loved the storyline. Hopefully Vinnie will have learned a few lessons. I love that Mooner is back, and I really want Stephanie to decide to go with Ranger.

entertaining

I love all the stephanie plum series.it covers all the bases adventure,drama,romance and the occasional humor.

Entertaining

I am probably in the minority but here goes. I am starting to think that Ms Plum and her antics are predictable and tedious. I mean, this is a grown woman and she can't decide between two men in her life. She endangers her grandmother's life on a regular basis and she is just immature! The reason I gave this book 3 out of 5 is we weren't subjected to her ever changing mind switches between the two handsome men. There were a few times when she had enteractions with them but it wasn't as sappy as other books and I liked that for the most part, she was an independent' woman. High time, too, I mean, what is she? Twenty-seven and not from an affluent family. I laughed a lot and shook my head at other times but it was a book that I enjoyed for the 5 plus hours of listening.

Classic Plum

No surprises in this book... Stephanie is surrounded by wacky characters carrying guns, some of the gun toters are friends and some are bad guys.

All of the Stephanie Plum novels are intricately woven in details but still are entertaining and an easy listen.

I highly recommend the Stephani Plum Series I am a true fan of this comedic mystery series and fully intend on attending a book signing next year!!

My Plum fix for the year!

I always know summer is here when I get a new installment of Stephanie's adventures! I listen to this book everywhere and it is embarrassing that it makes me laugh out loud but I love it!
I almost do not want it to be adapted into a movie form because it could never live up to the books!!! Keep them coming, Janet!

Great story!

Would you consider the audio edition of Sizzling Sixteen to be better than the print version?
