Stephanie Plum used to be a bounty hunter and she still is but in the last few parts of the series, we have observed that she is very good at investigation too. This is not a mission that is assigned to a bounty hunter rather this one is a job for a clever investigator. Kenny Mancuso’s case is the one that is given to Plum and she must find out the reason why the boy shot his best friend who came recently back from the army.
There are also rumors that the killer is actually someone else and in that case, Plum has to get to the real killer in order to save the boy. The boy is linked to Joe Morelli too i.e the cop who has created many emotional issues for Stephanie Plum over the past many years. Joe and Plum have to work together on the case as it is basically a case that is assigned to the police department.
The situation is not easy because Plum didn’t want to come too close to Joe and here she has to be with him all the time. Moreover, the two thought that it would be just an investigation that they were asked to do and they weren’t well prepared for the dangers that appear on the surface during the investigation.
Janet Evanovich has achieved it all in this story which has romance, mystery murder, and some thrilling elements narrated by C.J. Critt. Life of the main characters was on the line in Wicked Appetite and Going Rogue and here the threats are even greater. Plum and Joe have to take care of the lives of their near and dear ones as well if they want to solve the case and catch the real killer behind the crime.
