Publisher's summary

The #1 bestselling phenomenon continues in the eighth Stephanie Plum novel. The stakes get higher, the crimes get nastier, the chases get faster, and the men get hotter.

This time Stephanie, Morelli, Ranger. Lula, Valerie, and Grandma Mazur are strapped in for the ride of their lives. Stephanie is hired to find a missing child. But things aren't always as they seem and Stephanie must determine if she's working for the right side of the law. Plus, there's the Morelli question: can a Jersey girl keep her head on straight when more than just bullets are aimed for her heart? And with the Plum and Morelli relationship looking rocky, is it time for Ranger to move in for the kill? Janet Evanovich's latest thriller proves that Hard Eight will never be enough.

Critic reviews

"The things Evanovich does so well - family angst, sweet eroticism, stealth shopping, that stunning mix of terror and hilarity - are done better than ever here." (Booklist, Starred Review)
"Evanovich does it again, delivering an even more suspenseful and more outrageous turn with the unstoppable Stephanie." (Publishers Weekly)

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Another Home Run!

Once again, Janet Evanovich manages to make me laugh out loud in traffic. The narrator is a new one for me, and she's absolutely terrific with terrific characterizations and voices. Don't Miss it!

Even Better Than The Last Book!

I have really grown to love the characters in this series! This narrator is one of my favorites. She is awesome in every series I've heard her in. She really brings this story to life!

There was a lot of excitement in this book! There were times I had to stop what I was doing because I was so engrossed in the action. The love triangle continues and you won't be disappointed in the developments *wink wink*. If you like the other books in this series, you'll love this one!

A bounty hunter like no other

After losing Kinsey Millhone in Sue Grafton's novels, I looked for a replacement and found Stephanie Plum; and I must say, she is a klutz at times, funny and exciting. This is the third book I have read in the series and I have thoroughly enjoy them.

Stop the Music

I loved the story. The only issue is the music in the middle of the book. I don't understand why it's there. It's not even a book about music. It's distracting.

Good story

I definitely enjoyed the story. The wonky part of this recording was the random music at the end of some chapters. I think they were trying to be suspenseful?? I am definitely a bigger fan of Morelli vs Ranger in terms of love interest character developments.
