Ok, to be fair this book hasn't come out yet but I know that I will like it. I love this series and this author. The series is the Stephanie Plum Series. I'd go into great detail but you can google it. A brief overview of the series can get you started. The series is about a lingerie buyer turned bounty hunter. Stephanie bribed her Uncle Vinnie to give her the job. Her cars get blown up, a dog that has been known to eat her underwear, two really hot guys (one that is husband material and the other isn't), a grandma that goes to viewings (of dead people) because that is the place to go to see and be seen, and the grandma carries a gun that was given to her by a friend that bought it at a garage sale. At the bounty hunter office, there is Lula, who weighs ~200 lbs, wears clothes that are 2x too small, and is a former ho (as the character describes it). The series is great and I'm looking forward to this new book that is coming out in a week or two.

Storyline

Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum’s life is set to blow sky high when international murder hits dangerously close to home, in this dynamite novel by Janet Evanovich.

Before Stephanie can even step foot off Flight 127 Hawaii to Newark, she’s knee deep in trouble. Her dream vacation turned into a nightmare, and she’s flying back to New Jersey solo. Worse still, her seatmate never returned to the plane after the L.A. layover. Now he’s dead, in a garbage can, waiting for curbside pickup. His killer could be anyone. And a ragtag collection of thugs and psychos, not to mention the FBI, are all looking for a photograph the dead man was supposed to be carrying.

Only one other person has seen the missing photo—Stephanie Plum. Now she’s the target, and she doesn’t intend to end up in a garbage can. With the help of an FBI sketch artist Stephanie re-creates the person in the photo. Unfortunately the first sketch turns out to look like Tom Cruise, and the second sketch like Ashton Kutcher. Until Stephanie can improve her descriptive skills, she’ll need to watch her back.

Over at the bail bonds agency things are going from bad to worse. The bonds bus serving as Vinnie’s temporary HQ goes up in smoke. Stephanie’s wheelman, Lula, falls in love with their largest skip yet. Lifetime arch nemesis Joyce Barnhardt moves into Stephanie’s apartment. And everyone wants to know what happened in Hawaii?

Morelli, Trenton’s hottest cop, isn’t talking about Hawaii. Ranger, the man of mystery, isn’t talking about Hawaii. And all Stephanie is willing to say about her Hawaiian vacation is . . . It’s complicated.
