Smokin' Seventeen

A Stephanie Plum Novel

By: Janet Evanovich

Narrated by: Lorelei King

Where there’s smoke there’s fire, and no one knows this better than New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum.

Dead bodies are showing up in shallow graves on the empty construction lot of Vincent Plum Bail Bonds. No one is sure who the killer is, or why the victims have been offed, but what is clear is that Stephanie’s name is on the killer’s list.

Short on time to find evidence proving the killer’s identity, Stephanie faces further complications when her family and friends decide that it’s time for her to choose between her longtime off-again-on-again boyfriend, Trenton cop Joe Morelli, and the bad boy in her life, security expert Ranger. Stephanie’s mom is encouraging Stephanie to dump them both and choose a former high school football star who’s just returned to town. Stephanie’s sidekick, Lula, is encouraging Stephanie to have a red-hot boudoir “bake-off.” And Grandma Bella, Morelli’s old-world grandmother, is encouraging Stephanie to move to a new state when she puts “the eye” on Stephanie.

With a cold-blooded killer after her, a handful of hot men, and a capture list that includes a dancing bear and a senior citizen vampire, Stephanie’s life looks like it’s about to go up in smoke.

The hardcover edition of Smokin’ Seventeen contains two smokin’ hot stickers inside!

Critic reviews

Praise for Janet Evanovich

“No less than her plotting, Evanovich’s characterizations are models of screwball artistry. . . . The intricate plot machinery of her comic capers is fueled by inventive twists.”—The New York Times

“Chutzpah and sheer comic inventiveness . . . The Evanovich/Plum books [are] good fun.”—The Washington Post

Fun book!

Great story with lots of twist and turns! I love Lula and Mooner! Stephanie is the best!

Lorelei King's voice!

I've been getting the book and audible versions forever! Lorelei does an amazing job narrating! It brings the book to life, between the writing (which is always great and hilarious) and the voices used.

Great characters

I am in love with these characters! They are so very authentic I can almost see them! I’m going to listen to this installment again.
These books are amazing for foodies. How can Stephanie eat like she does and not gain weight?

Cliffhanger

The office burned to the ground in SIXTEEN, so Stephanie, Lula, and Connie, are conducting business out of a tricked-out bus owned by a former escapee, Moonie. The bus is wired for the Internet, but it's also his only mode of transportation, so it moves around a bit.

When they arrive at work on Mon., the bus is gone from the vacant lot which is now ringed with police cars and yellow police tape and a body part sticking out of the ground. Then more bodies appear, two with notes attached, addressed to Stephanie.

Meanwhile, Stephanie’s mother and grandmother have been pushing her to make up her mind between her long-time cop boyfriend, Joe Morelli, and the sexy but commitment-challenged security professional, Ranger; so her mother has set her up with Dave Brewer, a former high school classmate who just came back to town.

Lula suggests she have a sort of "throw down" contest between all three to find out who is best in bed.

I found myself smirking and actually laughing out loud during the reading of this book.
Although the book has a cliffhanger ending, at least in the romance department, readers don't have long to wait for the conclusion, because EXPLOSIVE EIGHTEEN comes out just in time.
