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.

HEAR IT, SEE IT

The characters and description are great, nicely enhanced by fine narrative presentation. Just had to keep listening. This was my first experience with Miss Plum, a very enjoyable one.

Stephanie Loves Joe!!

I really loved this book. It was so action packed, lots of humor, new characters (Pickle) and learning more about Ranger (and him vulnerable).
I found it hilarious that both Ranger and Morelli moved into Stephanie's apartment. The only thing that would have made it better is if they both slept in the same bed (at the same time) with her. Sizzle.
Glad to see Sally Sweet in the story. Grandma Mazur of coarse is a favorite. Melvin Pickle was a great addition. Connie is a favorite. I don't like Joyce and the fact that they make her a better bounty hunter than Stephanie. Come on. Just make Stephanie better than Joyce. Lula and Tank getting together was priceless and I hope there is more of a story there. Sally, Lula and Grandma in a band together was a hot mess. I wish I had Mama Plum to cook for me. She's a mess but still manages to take care of everyone. Papa Plum is just trying to get by and I am glad that he just cruises and has his comments but is not an a-hole (like he could be with that household).
I loved Stephanie going crazy when Scroggs had her in captivity in the motor home. It was great. It reminded me of a British sitcom.
I gushed when Stephanie told Joe she loved him. Listening to the interview at the end of this book and how Janet states she doesn't want it to be a romance I have to disagree and I think there could be the romance and be extremely dysfunctional and wouldn't ruin the story. But Janet is the creator and I am just the reader who is pro Plum/Morelli.

Can't wait for 13 !

Okay....here's the deal..I want to BE Stephanie Plum..and that's it!
The men in her life are fabulous! The crisis in her daily life is hysterical. Her family is a hoot and Janet Evanivich keeps us smiling, laughing and excited all at the same time. After 11 on Top I waited with baited breath for 12 - didn't disappoint!
I simply loved it.

Fun to Listen to...Nothing more

Would you listen to Twelve Sharp again? Why?

All the books start out the same - believe they must use a script for about the first four chapters. Fun characters - especially lead. Great for just a fun listen.

Great listen!

I've read the previous eleven books in this series but this is my first "listen" and I loved it. Lorelei King did a great job of nattating "Twelve Sharp"! It's so easy to get lost in the Stephanie Plum character. Janet Evanovich is such a good story teller. Can't wait for number 13!
