Always a good time. Favorite characters let you dive right in, Beach or pool reading at its best. Pltlines still s strong as 30 books ago.

This is the thirtieth installment of Evanovich's humorous Stephanie Plum series and it does not disappoint. Once again Stephanie and her sidekick Lula encounter a variety of loony characters plus the usuals--Morelli, Ranger, Connie and Stephanie's family, Both Stephanie and Lula are becoming more self aware and that helps to keep this long series fresh. It was as always fun to read and I'm looking forward to thirty-one

Always fun, this Stephanie Plum book was one of my favorites. This book had lots of laughs and the usual firebomb and destroyed car, but stayed away from the kooky. Lots of Ranger and Morelli action, which always adds to thefun.

Stephanie and Lulu in another new adventure to catch bond skippers. Bob, Morelli's dog is along for the ride adds some humour. Jewelry robbers, grave diggers, clowns this books has plenty of colorful characters. 30 books into this series and I'm sure people will enjoy the bombs, bullets, car racing and a little touch of romance.

4.5/5.

Janet Evanovich is a well known name in my household. My mom has been reading her books for as long as I can remember and seeing her enjoy these books made me fall in love with reading.

This book is classic Janet Evanovich. And the ending leaves you impatiently waiting for more. Stephanie Plum is a comfort character for sure and is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud. So so good! We can’t wait for the next instalment in this series!

Thank you netgalley and Atria Books for an e-arc of this book!

As usual this book did not disappoint. Fun, fast paced book full of mystery and romance, as well as many laughs. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

This is another winner with Stephanie and Lula as the stars. I can’t wait for the next book to come out.

As Stephanie is taking care of Morelli’s dog Bob, she and Lula learn that a local jewelry store robbery may be a lot more complicated than first believed.

Thirtieth in the series and still lots of fun!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Janet Evanovich brings us back to Jersey and Trenton's favorite bounty hunter. Stephanie is left to babysit Bob when Morelli has to go out of town. This means that Bob gets to go on the many adventures with Stephanie and Lula as they go after those who skipped out on their next hearing. What appeared to be an easy assignment has turned into a mystery with too many missing pieces. As the situations escalates, Stephanie has to turn to Ranger for help. To make matters worse, Lula is being haunted by a demon in her house. Follow along as Stephanie, Lula, and Bob figure out how all the pieces fit together as they try to catch their guys and try to avoid disaster along the way. To top it all off, Stephanie receives a surprise that shocks her to her core which may force her to make a decision that will impact everyone's life or she may just ignore it hoping it will all go away or resolve itself.

Janet Evanovich brings us back to the life of bounty hunting with Stephanie and her friends. We get to tag along as they try to find people to bring in and what misfortunes it may lead to. You keep turning the page to see what happens next and if Stephanie can actually find these people and bring them in, as well as what trouble she can get into and what damage it may bring on her and those around her. It is always nice to visit with everyone and check in with her family. I always look forward to see what she does next and how it somehow all works out.

I have read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I would like to thank NetGalley and Atria Books for this privilege.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC

Another fun and adventurous caper with Stephanie Plum and Lula. Lets not forget the exchanges with the sexy Ranger while Morelli is out of town. The humor and zany situations compound to make a most enjoyable read. I couldn't put the book down. Janet Evanovich does not disappoint this reader.

Consistently funny, well-plotted, and action packed, this series has been around a long time and doesn’t seem to be flagging. The reliable main characters are all here, as well as the latest low-lifes, misfits, and the anticipated body at the latest viewing at the funeral home. Wrapping all this up in a nice package is a revelation at the end—much food for thought, and I’m all ready to put my money down on what I expect will happen next. Another great read!

Are you ready for another crazy filled adventure with Stephanie Plum? You better be! This book starts out action packed with a guy on a ledge...but not for long. Bodies are piling up and suspects are fleeing as a jewelry robbery goes wrong.

With Stephanie's on-again, off-again boyfriend, Morelli, away on official business, she is left taking care of the endearing and destructive dog, formerly known as Bob. Bob is a garbage disposal in doggie food and adores anything he can sink his teeth into.

Add to the madness, Lula, need I say more? Lula is convinced she is being haunted by a mythological monster intent on stealing her wardrobe and possibly her.
.
Stephanie's mom even gets in on the actin and recklessly chases down a suspect! Everyone is okay, well, except for a few key pieces of the car.

Buckle your seatbelt for another amazing adventure with Stephanie Plum! Oh, of course Ranger is in this, you can't leave him out!

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for my review.

Another fun adventure with Stephanie and Lula. Stephanie's boyfriend, Morelli, is out of town working and Stephanie is left to take care of his dog, Bob. Stephanie is hired to track down an ex-security guard/possible jewel thief by the local jewelry store owner. There is more to this jewelry heist than meets the eye. While tracking down the ex-security guard, Stephanie, Lula, and Bob are involved in car chases, bombs, and several near misses. But it is all in a day's work for Stephanie and Lulu. Since Morelli is out of town, Stephanie turns to the ever mysterious, Ranger, for help.

Reading Stephine Plum books are like visiting an old friend. They give you all the good feels, laughter, action, and adventure. This book ends on quite a cliffhanger. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I read a prepublication copy for Dirty Thirty by Janet Evanovich. I had read all the numbered books through 25 or 26 several years ago; the series has long been a favorite of mine. I was delighted to have an opportunity to read this newest adventure of Stephanie Plum. It did not disappoint. Evanovich has created some amazingly relatable characters who feel like actual acquaintances to those readers who have followed the series at all. I enjoy the playful tone and the clever language use in these novels as much as I do the characters.

Stephanie is up to her usual antics with Lula and the gang. (Bonus- Stephanie is pet sitting Bob and he’s also in on the craziness.). The story has it’s usual fun, madness, and all around lunacy that you come to expect from a Stephanie Plum adventure. However, the last page will leave you wanting more!

I loved every minute of Dirty Thiry by Janet Evanovich. Stephanie and the gang are back! I look forward to a new Stephanie Plum book every Fall. Rest assured there will be car crashes, fires, interesting FTA's who do strange things in Stephanie's car, and lots of Ranger action in Dirty Thirty. Fluffly, loveable Bob is a big part of this book too. I appreciate NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I loved this latest Stephanie Plum adventure. She put on her enforcer panties, used her stun gun, and collected all of her FTAs mostly on her own, with the help of her trusty sidekicks Lula, and Bob. Only one car was totaled. As a knitter, I love Mom's scarf. And what an ending! Can't wait for 31!!!

Stephanie, Lula and crew are back to their madcap shenanigans with new characters, new crimes, and a few new men. Comfort reading, covered in laughs, makes for the irresistible formula that Janet Evanovich has perfected. However, that last page leaves us wanting more in a whole new way!

I look forward to the latest installment in this series, Dirty Thirty was worth the wait. Janet keeps the characters fresh, the readers rolling with laughter. What a cliffhanger....

This book unfortunately was a total bore for me. I’ve often felt that lately Janet E is pushing her luck by continuing to write these formulaic storylines and this one proves it. Terribly similar to the other 29 and just not enough going on to make it worth the read for me. DNF at page 94. Doughnuts, car wrecks and a senile grandma does not a good story make. Thanks NetGalley for giving me a chance to read this but this one gets a hard No from me.
