Book Thirty in this series still entertains me! Most of what happens is so implausible that it's hysterical! But the ending... cliff hanger, Double cliff hanger!!

DIrty Thirty is the thirtieth book in the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. While you don't necessarily have to have read all of the 29 books before it to know what's happening, you shouldn't start reading the series with this book.

Number 30 in the Plum Series!✔️

Huge thanks to @janetevanovich, @simonandschuster, @atriabooks, and @goodreads for early access to this one!

This is such a fun set of characters to follow and I’ve loved every book in the series. I actually laughed out loud while reading this one! If you haven’t started the series and you love mystery + romance, this is for you. Lighthearted, relatable, and fun to read!

Available now! Let me know if you check it out🩷

I voluntarily read an advanced copy of Dirty Thirty by Janet Evanovich. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for this ARC.

Dirty Thirty was the most enjoyable Stephanie Plum book in a while. I was fully engaged in the chaos that is Stephanie's bounties this time around, and I just had a lot of fun reading this book. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys this series. I give Dirty Thirty 4/5 stars and look forward to reading book thirty-one.

Bounty hunter Stephnie Plum is keeping herself busy since her boyfriend Morelli is away in Miami. Now she is trying to earn money for her bills and then she picks up a side job with a local jeweler who was robbed. Along with Lula the relationship with Ranger and her still thinking about Morelli. Her grandmother only adds to the story. Then you add in the grave robbers who are helping her look for a body but well? You get it this is a fantastic book. Then just when you think she has everything figured out the ending will still get you going only with her. Wonderful characters, along with the flow of words that stay true to each character this is a book to read.

Dirty Thirty has a little bit of everything: a jewelry store heist, a demon stalker, a couple firebombs, and of course, the love triangle between Stephanie, Joe, and Ranger.

The series is pretty formulaic, with a main mystery, and Stephanie and Lula getting up to their usual antics, as bail bond enforcement officers, in between, but it works. The mystery in Dirty Thirty was creative with plenty of twists and unexpected surprises along the way.

What I love most about these books is the humor and there is no shortage of that. Bob the dog steals the show with his neverending appetite and Stephanie and Lula’s friendship is put to the test when they become unexpected roommates.

The book ends on a cliffhanger and I cannot wait to see what happens in book number 31!

I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are my own opinions.

I have been obsessed with Stephanie Plum and her crew since One for the Money, and I was not let down by Dirty Thirty. It's the only book series that can keep me excited and smiling from the first page to last. Except when Morellli is involved, I'm firmly team Ranger.

The book is just a fun read with a vast array of unique characters that will make you love them.

When I was notified through NetGalley I received an early review copy of Janet Evanovich's next Stephanie Plum novel, Dirty Thirty, I barely managed to keep myself from calling my mom to gloat. We both love this series and I was NOT disappointed by Dirty Thirty. In fact, I think it helped move the series back up on my list as it got me re-excited for the drama, antics, relationships and craziness that weren't as present for me in the past few books.

Dirty Thirty brings back our favorite bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum, as she works to figure out not just the current mystery in front of her, but her professional and personal lives as well. The ongoing triangle with Ranger, Stephanie, and Morelli continues to take new directions and leaves you on the verge of thinking you know what's next. Stephanie, Lula and friends manage to somehow survive, if not thrive, in finding the bad guys and avoiding major injury, while keeping you entertained. One of the stronger books in the series lately, I look forward to seeing what's next and how long the series can continue to thrive.

A solid 4.5/5 stars

Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for the free e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is by far one of the best Stephanie Plum books that I have read, and it has a very satisfying, cliffhanger of an ending!!! I love this series and am always so excited to read the next installment! If you have never read this, start with book one and enjoy!

Highly recommend!!!

I love all of these books and this one isn’t any different! I will always continue to read this series!

I have read the whole series and still absolutely enjoy it. It’s funny and witty with a mystery mixed in.

Three cheers for Dirty Thirty! So, here's the deal. Should I be tired of reading about Stephanie and Lulu's adventures? Probably. But am I tired of reading about bail bonds, car damage, her love triangle, Bob the big fluffy dog, endless greasy and yummy food, and Ranger? Nope. No, I am not. These books are like brain candy, and I look forward to the annual installment for what it is; the chance to relax and rewind in the world of the Burg. This one mainly involves a few robberies that might be connected. Stephanie and Lulu use their wonderful brand of law enforcement and humor to get to the bottom of it. As always, I smiled my way through this read, and was bummed when it was over. Until next year!

I was looking forward to the newest Stephanie Plum adventure. Sadly, I think the adventures are becoming too formulaic with names and crimes changed. It has been quite a while since I’ve read anything new and different about her. I wish I had a more positive review, but it is essentially the same thing I’ve read many, many times over the last 30 books.

The ending may have saved the book, leading to a cliffhanger of sorts, but I’m not optimistic the story will continue without the same ol, same ol.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the chance to read and review this novel.

Thirty! Thirty Stephanie Plum stories! While some have been a little lacking, this one brings Stephanie's personal life to the forefront and we are left with one heck of a cliffhanger!

It's another typical Stephanie installment, full of quirky bond captures and dangerous capers as she works to earn enough to pay the next month's rent. This time Morelli is out of town and she is forced to rely on Ranger to help her solve her latest mystery. Add in a trip to Maine and a bag of missing diamonds, and it's clear that Stephanie has her hands full. Add in two big questions, and readers are left waiting for the next installment to see which direction Stephanie will go next. But only if she doesn't get blown up first.

Thirty books in and you think I would be bored of Stephanie Plum but nope I am here for all the zaniness that comes with each book. I always enjoy the interaction between Lula and Stephanie and the crazy characters they have to bounty hunt but I felt like the romance was lacking in the last few books. This one was unfortunately the same, in my opinion no spice. There was finally a bit of movement in the relationships at the end but is it really? I guess we will have to find out in the next book. 3.5 stars for me due to the repetitiveness of the plots over 30 books but rounded up because I enjoy Stephanie too much.

Stephanie Plum always has a horrible luck. Something always happens to her apartment and her vehicles. While I do love these books they do seem to keep getting repetitive this book got me out of a reading funk.

Stephanie and Lula character has not changed through any of the 30 books. What I was hoping for with the last book might actually happen. I will always read these books.

I was so excited to read this. Have read this entire series. I was bored and a little disappointed in this book. It finally started to get good in the second half of the book. The ending was what I have been hoping and wishing for all along. I’m not sure if this is the last book in the series but if it was it ended well.

The latest book in the Stephanie Plum series brings back all of our favorite characters. There are of course car bombs, fugitives, and doughnuts. Stephanie and Lula get involved in zany antics while chasing FTAs. If you are looking for a familiar series, this is great.

Dirty Thirty is the 30th book in Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series. It is a fun and fast-paced read full of action and humor. I have read all of the books in the Stephanie Plum series and this one doesn’t disappoint.

There has been a jewelry store robbery and Stephanie is hired by the owner of the store to find the robber. At the same time, she is trying to find the man who is on the run after being arrested for the same robbery. Lulu thinks she is being stalked by a demon. Morelli is on business trip so Stephanie is babysitting his dog, Bob. Bob cannot be left alone, so he accompanies her everywhere. As Stephanie searches for these men, her mom and Grandma Mazur get in on the action. When things get tough, Stephanie turns to Ranger for help. At the end, there is a bit of a cliffhanger. I cannot wait for the next Stephanie Plum book to find out what happens!

Evanovich is at her best again! Dirty Thirty (as well as her last two books, Game On and Going Rogue) has a good plot and mystery. Unfortunately, for a while, her books had been lacking. I am so happy to be loving this series again! I highly recommend this series to readers who like a mystery full of wacky characters, action, and humor.

Thank you to Netgalley and to the publisher for providing me with an advanced review copy in exchange for an honest review.

Book 30! This series is a staple in my life and I love every single one. The whole gang is back - though Morelli is out of town for most of this one - and there are FTAs to apprehend and a mystery to solve. Reading a new Stephanie Plum book is like catching up with an old friend. Humor, mystery, and action. 5 stars all the way.
