Description
Stephanie's got a one-way ticket to trouble...
Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum's life is set to blow sky high when international murder hits dangerously close to home in Explosive Eighteen. No. 1 bestselling author Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series is not to be missed by fans of Lee Child and JD Robb.
Raves for Evanovich's bestselling series: 'Stephanie Plum in ass-kicking form... utterly delightful' (Cosmopolitan); 'Evanovich's series of New Jersey comedy thrillers are among the great joys of contemporary fiction' (GQ Magazine); 'Hot and sassy' (The Boston Herald).
After a holiday from hell, Stephanie's heading back to New Jersey and life as a bounty hunter feeling worse than before. And that's before she finds out the man in the seat next to her was brutally murdered on their layover, and she may hold the key to his death.
With both the fake FBI and the real FBI on her tail, not to mention sometimes-boyfriend Morelli and more-than-a-mentor Ranger, Stephanie's beginning to wonder if she might need a holiday from it all...
What readers are saying about Explosive Eighteen:
Explosive it is! Another marvellous outing in the series of Stephanie's mildly madcap adventures
The plot is as ingenious and hilarious as ever, and the combination of humour and action is potent stuff, irresistible!
Fun, likeable characters and a crazy plot! Perfect Plum
