Stephanie Plum, our favourite bounty hunter is at it again. While she does apprehend local fugitives her main focus is finding Evelyn Soder and her daughter Annie. Have they been kidnapped or are they running for their lives? Stephanie has three weeks to find them home and bring them to safety before Evelyn’s grandmother looses her home thanks to a child custody bond using her home as collateral. Not only is Stephanie racing against time but she is also racing against her nemesis, Jeanne Ellen Burrows.
Women love the character of Stephanie Plum, she’s outspoken, thirtyish, loves a little sexual innuendo, has two men vying for her attention, treats Rex, her hamster, as her best friend and roommate, and loves Tastykakes.
Stephanie works with: Joe Morelli, a Trenton cop who is even more confused about their on-again, off-again relationship; Lula, who never misses an opportunity to use her gun or her weight to catch the bad guys; Ranger, the ever so sexy ex-special forces, bounty hunter; and Albert Kloughn, a lawyer, wannabe bounty hunter.
Stephanie needs all the help she can get as she goes up against the snakes, spiders, giant rabbits and bears; never mind the vicious and vindictive Eddie Abruzzi.
Hard Eight is a quick, light, entertaining read. It certainly lived up to the reputation of other Stephanie Plum novels. Evanovich has over twenty-five novels in print.
