Janet Evanovich's *Four to Score (Stephanie Plum, #4)* is an absolute must-read. Evanovich is a truly gifted writer; she effortlessly blends humor and suspense. When I'm reading her books, I can practically see Stephanie Plum's quirky family right in front of me. Plum is a bounty hunter chasing down those who skip out on court appearances, and she manages to get herself into more trouble than anyone I know! Her on-again, off-again lover, Morelli, is a cop who's constantly trying to keep her safe...

Actual rating: 4.5-4.75 stars."Four to Score (Stephanie Plum, #4)" is the hilarious fourth installment of the Stephanie Plum mystery series by Janet Evanovich.I could not stop laughing at the crazy jams Stephanie continually gets herself in, which is now her signature style. Some of it is dumb luck and some of it using her bounty hunter skills (sort of) to locate her current bail jumper. If you're looking for funny book reviews, this one's for you!When I started "Four to Score (Stephanie Plum, #...

Great book! Fun!! What's not to love about Sally? Also, love that when Steph and Joe finally get together in Four to Score (Stephanie Plum, #4) by Janet Evanovich, it's not 'love ever after', "let's pick out china". It feels real. It’s one of the reasons I love Stephanie Plum novels!

Book Review 4 out of 5 stars to Four to Score, the 4th book in the "Stephanie Plum" cozy mystery series by Janet Evanovich, published back in 1998. I was still catching up on this series when I read it a few years ago. Hard to believe it's been almost 25 years! Wow! In this little adventure, Stephanie's trying to track down a waitress who's a real magnet for trouble. And it seems like she's upped her game, since people who get close to her are ending up dead. Then there's Joyce, Steph...

Here's a 10-step guide to writing your own Stephanie Plum novel:1. Give Stephanie a "skip" who's tough to track down or vanishes mysteriously, leaving her with that familiar "funky" feeling in her gut.2. Include a few scenes where Stephanie almost catches her "skip," but they slip away. Bonus points if Stephanie's own equipment gets used against her!3. Toss in some classic "dinners at home" with her hilarious, dysfunctional family, complete with gun-toting Grandma Mazur and a mom who serves dinn...

Four novels old and Stephanie's aging a bit!Stephanie Plum, New Jersey's colorful bounty hunter extraordinaire, is on the trail of Maxine Nowicki. But this time she's double-dipping. She's got her sights set on the usual payoff from her bond bondsman boss, Vinny, who wants Maxine corralled as an FTA on a car theft charge. But Stephanie's also been promised a $1000 under-the-counter payoff from Maxine's ex-boyfriend, Eddie Kuntz, who says he wants to retrieve some potentially embarrassing love le...

Audiobook read by C J Critt3.5***This is book four in the wildly popular Stephanie Plum series, and *Four to Score* by Janet Evanovich doesn't disappoint. Stephanie’s still pretty inept at her job as a bounty hunter, her romance with Morelli is seriously heating up, and she manages to blow up a couple more cars. Grandma Mazur is as hilariously nuts as ever, and Steph gets a new “partner” in the form of a cross-dressing rock band leader. To top it all off, she tangles with rival bounty hunter Joy...

*** 4.25 ***A re-read with the BB&B groupWhat can I say to avoid repeating myself in every review and sounding like a typical fangirl? Nothing. I *am* a fangirl when it comes to this series, and I think Janet Evanovich is one of the best authors out there at making people laugh, even when tackling some really tough themes and situations. Does she use stereotypes and make fun of bigotry and biases? Yes, she does. The difference is that there isn't one intentionally hurtful or hateful sentimen...

When Stephanie is asked to hunt down a waitress who skipped bail after stealing her ex-boyfriend's car, she thinks it'll be easy. That's before the ex-boyfriend offers her extra cash on the side if she'll tip him off to Maxine's location before the cops get involved, though. It turns out that Maxine has been leaving clues for her ex, and now Stephanie finds herself on a crazy treasure hunt trying to figure out what Maxine is really up to. When Maxine's friend loses a finger and her mother gets s...

Yay! I'm so glad I stuck with the Stephanie Plum series and made it to this one, **Four to Score**. Within the first 30 pages, I knew I was going to enjoy it more than the previous three books (which weren't bad at all themselves!). First off, the super-detailed, mundane descriptions like "I brushed my teeth, put on my nightie, fed my hamster, got in bed and fell asleep" are way less frequent (though that was a minor annoyance before anyway). Instead, we get more action, more plot development. ...
