From “the most popular mystery writer alive” (The New York Times), the twenty-seventh thrilling entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series isn’t just the biggest case of Stephanie Plum’s career. It’s the adventure of a lifetime. When Stephanie’s beloved Grandma Mazur’s new husband died on their wedding night, the only thing he left her was a beat-up old easy chair…and the keys to a life-changing fortune. But as Stephanie and Grandma Mazur search for Jimmy Rosolli’s treasure, they discover that they’re not the only ones on the hunt. Two dangerous enemies from the past stand in their way—along with a new adversary who’s even more formidable: Gabriela Rose, a dark-eyed beauty from Little Havana with a taste for designer clothes. She’s also a soldier of fortune, a gourmet cook, an expert in firearms and mixed martial arts—and someone who’s about to give Stephanie a real run for her money. Stephanie may be in over her head, but she’s got two things that Gabriela doesn’t: an unbreakable bond with her family and a stubborn streak that will never let her quit. She’ll need both to survive because this search for “fortune and glory” will turn into a desperate race against time with more on the line than ever before. Because even as she searches for the treasure and fights to protect her Grandma Mazur, her own deepest feelings will be tested—as Stephanie could finally be forced to choose between Joe Morelli and Ranger.

Another solid Stephanie Plum novel with her family and side-kicks and love interests. Realized I missed #26 but this story stood on its own. A new character is introduced in this book that the author is writing about this year. I think my favorite character is still after all these books Grandma Mazur. She makes me laugh out loud every time.
And it's Stephanie Plum, accompanied as always by the quirky Grandma Mazer, Lulu, Ranger, and Morelli, off to find fortune with clues left by her newly-widowed grandma from her grandma's recently-dead gangster husband. And now let's add the mysterious Gabriela Rose and the allergic-to-everything George Potts. For this episode, Morelli moves off camera to allow Stephanie some solid Ranger time. Expect some blown up cars or homes or (even) mausoleums, or perhaps all three and more. It's always fun to take a walk in Jersey with these characters.

Ranger stopped for a light and looked at me. “How about you? What's in your bucket list?”
I was stumped. I didn't have a bucket list. My bucket was empty.“I haven't gotten around to making a bucket list,” I said. “Do you think that's a personal failure?”
“No. You're busy living every day. That's a personal triumph.”
“It doesn't feel like a triumph. It feels like I'm moving through my life with no important goals or aspirations.”
“What do you consider to be an important goal?”
“Being a doctor or a vulcanologist or a marine biologist or finding the Ark of the Covenant.”
