Bold and blase", Stephanie Plum at her finest.
Have I read all of this author's books? No. But that's the great thing about Janet Evanovich: No matter which book you jump into, the story welcomes you home like an old friend.
In Dirty Thirty, bounty hunter Stephanie Plum, armed with her sidekick Lula and a couple of stun guns, catches bad guys, solves mysteries, and worms her way into the hearts of two hot men. I know which one I would choose.

I absolutely love the Stephanie Plum series. However, I do want them to finally wrap up. The dialogue in Dirty Thirty seems a little forced, but it’s still yet another wild adventure with Stephanie and her crew.

Team Ranger!

Gah, I missed Stephanie and Lula. You can’t go wrong with a Janet Evanovich book. And that ending 😱. Thanks NetGalley for the ARC.

As always another entertaining Stephanie Plum. I absolutely adore what Evanovich has created with this character and her ragtag band of misfits. I’m always laughing out loud at the antics they get into. Stephanie is hunting down her latest FTA, but this time she gets pulled into the larger picture when Rabner enlists her to help. I enjoyed all the layers to the story, including Lula and her Grendel. Overall still a comfort read and I will read every Stephanie Plum, that Evanovich chooses to write. Nothing cheers me up like Stephanie and I wish my life was half as exciting as hers but with less dead bodies.

Stephanie Plum is at it again!! This time she is "skip tracing" and has a side-hustle, working on finding a missing security guard, for a jewelry store owner who has been robbed. Insert, of course, ALL of the "usual suspects" and you have yourself a belly-laughing, quick read of a good time!!! I read a lot of books and I can honestly say that I cannot recall any others that actually make me laugh out loud! Lula, Connie, Grandma Mazur, and Ranger....oh my!!! SUCH a great, mindless, easy read!!! My only regret is that these books only come about once a year and I read them so...darn....fast!!!

The 3oth installment of the Stephanie Plum series was a delight. Like every one before it, I devoured this one. But it seemed a little more grown up than the last few and I'm totally here for it. And ending on that cliffhanger was the work of the devil. Not really, obviously, but any fan following Stephanie from the start will be pacing waiting to find out where the next book is going.
All of the main characters were present and did not disappoint. Even Bob had a larger role this time and obviously there was a viewing with Grandma Mazur. These stories and these characters all feel like a reliable book family that will make you feel good and laugh whenever you need it. So I hope this series will continue for a long time.

As always this was a quick and funny read! This series has become my favorite cozy reads. The cliffhanger at the end tho… I need book #31 ASAP!!

Thank you NetGalley, Atria Books, Simon & Schuster and Janet Evanovich for the eARC of Dirty Thirty!

Stephanie and Lula are at it again. Full scale shenanigans! If you’re looking for a book that will make you literally laugh out loud, look no further! Stephanie has found herself caught up in a jewelry heist gone wrong. Can she figure it out before somebody takes her out? Her partner in crime, Lula, is all in and finds herself moving in with Stephanie, along with Nutsy, who becomes fast friends with Lula. Also, is it Ranger or Morelli? Who has finally captured Stephanie’s heart?

What can I say except, Janet Evanovich has done it again! I love the Stephanie Plum series and while most of the time the stories are silly and predictable, that's what I LOVE about them. The crazy situations that Stephanie finds herself in never disappoint. The colorful characters of Lula and Grandma Mazur keep me giggling throughout - you never know what they are going to say or do. In this one, Bob (Morelli's dog) plays a significant role throughout. This series is just plain fun and a quick read. I can't wait to see what's next for Stephanie Plum and the rest of the gang.

Dirty Thirty is #30! in the Stephanie Plum series. (wow! That in itself is amazing.) I'm guessing that most folks planning on reading Dirty Thirty have read at least one other Stephanie Plum books. So its understandable that Dirty Thirty jumps right in. I really hate to admit it, but I've only read one other book in the Stephanie Plum series (book #1). I didn't feel at a loss regarding jumping from #1 to #30. Stephanie Plum series are so entertaining with never a dull moment ... and #30 is no exception!

At the end of the book contains a "best of" quotes from prior Stephanie Plum books. Loved it!

And I'm anxious to get my hands on #31! (But oh so glad that I read #30 before #31.)

Stephanie is a bails bondswoman in New Jersey. She has her boyfriend's 75lb dog Bob in tow throughout this book, Bob can be a handful.

I love how creative and fun Janet Evanovich is with this series! Who can resist the next Stephanie Plum book ... I just wish that I had discovered this series sooner. I have a lot of back reading to do!

Dirty Thirty was just released Oct 31, 3023 by Atria Books. Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for approving my request to read the advance review copy of Dirty Thirty in exchange for an honest review. Many thanks to Janet Evanovich for keeping this series interesting, light and fun. Once I started this one, I was hooked.

Another fun escapade in the Burg, with Stephanie Plum and company, always on the hunt for bail skippers. This time, she has a new team member- Bob the Dog, who occasionally proves useful, if he's not otherwise engaged eating something. Lula has a serious wardrobe catastrophe- will she ever recover? Missing from this book was the usual Grandma Mazur musings on life. I can't believe there weren't any good viewings! Also Morelli was out of town, leaving the door open for hottie, Ranger. Babe! While some of the usual characters were less featured, Stephanie still manages to get in over her head with her skips, who always have and extenuating, but ridiculous reason for their behavior, which Stephanie takes in stride. I'm always delighted when a new book comes out and look forward to the next one. I hope it isn't to long- we have to find out what happened!

That cliffhanger! I don’t know how I’ll ever survive waiting on book 31. I loved this story and the progression of Stephanie and how she was transforming to be more like lula in her “when one door closes another one opens” way. Then bang definitely Dirty Thirty! The plot was 5/5 and it really was starting to seem like a longtime coming decision was being made solidified before wrenches were thrown in. True to the title it does us dirty. Bring on book 31!

Stephanie Plum and her entire circle of co-workers, friends and family are back in Dirty Thirty. Bail bondswoman Stephanie is looking for a bunch of bail jumpers and a possible jewel thief. Former lady of the evening Lula is her irrepressible self trying to avoid a stalker, who just happens to be a mythological beast. Stephanie’s boyfriend Morelli is out of town and Stephanie is once again turning her wandering eye towards the hunky Ranger. All is well in Trenton, New Jersey.

I adore this series. It is still as fresh and as laugh-out-loud funny now as it was in the beginning. It is amazing how one woman can have so many unusual events occur. Dirty Thirty Is highly recommended. Just a fun ride. 5 stars and a favorite!

Thanks to Atria Books and NetGalley for a digital review copy of the book.

Another fun Stephanie Plum book. Slightly disappointed that Grandma Mazur and Morelli were barely mentioned in the story. Interesting ending, excited for thirty-one!

Dirty Thirty
By: Janet Evanovich
Publisher: Atria books
Pub Date: 10/31/23
Number 30 for Stephanie Plum! She has 2 very gorgeous problems, Ranger and Morelli.
Stephanie and Lola are back in it. With Morelli headed out of town it’s Stepahnie’s job to take care of Bob and since he eats everything he has to go with.
This time they are looking for a dead body, a security guard and a thief who are both involved in a jewelry store robbery. Something is going on in the background that Stephanie needs Ranger’s help
Lola thinks she’s being stalked by an Ogre, probably Grendel.
Of course we can’t get through a book without Stephanie losing a car and an apartment. But the shocker at the end still has me thinking about when book 31 comes out!

I have been a fan since the first Stephanie Plum book. Stephanie and Lulu are up to usual antics trying to find out who robbed the jewelry store along with trying to collect on her skips. Bob, Morelli’s dog plays a big part in this book. Stephanie’s love triangle just got way more complicated. Can’t wait to see how that plays out.

Just finished Dorty Thirty. I don’t know how Janet Evanovich does it but each novel and the characters’ exploits seem fresh and new with each novel. A fun, fast paced read!.

Only Janet Evanovich could turn a crime novel into a laugh-a-minute fast-paced ride. Fun and satisfying, this one has Stephanie Plum and her resourceful, sometimes clueless, gang making all the right moves. Thank you Net Galley for the advance copy.

Stephanie has her hands full. Martin Rabner wants her to find Andy Manley who he believes took diamonds from his jewelry store safe. She is also looking for Duncan Dugan, a man believed to have robbed the same jewelry store … on the same day. She probably could have handled both of those issues, but when her boyfriend leaves town on police business, she has to dog-sit Bob … and he can’t be left alone. Of course, Ranger and Lula must throw their own issues into Stephanie’s crazy life. What odd activities will be uncovered in Trenton?

Dirty Thirty is the thirtieth book in the Stephanie Plum series. This story had me laughing constantly and I kept thinking, I need to tell someone about that! There are many quotable moments … then you get to the end and Evanovich has picked 30 of her favorite quotes from the series. I always expect that the next book will be ho-hum since the series is long-running, but if it is going to happen, it wasn’t this book! I will say there is a small cliffhanger at the end. When is the next book going to be released?!

Dirty Thirty was similar to all the other Stephanie Plum books but at the same time it was less chaotic so to speak.
There was still things blowing up and funerals to go to. There was Morelli and Ranger and oh how this one ended. To think
It’s going to be another 6 months to a year to read 31.
