While chasing down the usual cast of miscreants and weirdos in Trenton, New Jersey, bounty hunter Stephanie Plum discovers that a crazed woman is stalking her. The woman dresses in black, carries a 9mm Glock, and has a bad attitude and a mysterious connection to dark and dangerous Carlos Manoso...street name, Ranger. The action turns deadly serious, and Stephanie goes from hunting skips to hunting a murderer. Ranger needs Stephanie for more reasons than he can say. And now the two are working together to find a killer, rescue a missing child, and stop a lunatic from raising the body count. When Stephanie Plum and Ranger get too close for comfort, vice cop Joe Morelli (her on-again, off-again boyfriend) steps in. Will the ticking clock stop at the stroke of twelve, or will a stranger in the wind find a way to stop Stephanie Plum...forever?--From publisher description.

We learn a lot more about Ranger in this book. I am loving him more and more.
Lending library. It's been over a year since I read another of these, and now I really think I'll be able to resist revisiting them. I was entertained, but at the cost of filling my head with stuff that has aged really poorly, and a captivating but also totally irritating dynamic in the central love triangle. Plenty of flirting in this one that felt frustrating as opposed to fun. The internet tells me that Stephanie Plum still hasn't chosen between Joe Morelli and Ranger more than a dozen other books later, which: a) neither of those men would put up with that shit for that long, and b) my completely unsolicited two cents is that Evanovich should have just written them as a throuple, clearly!
Best Plum in a long while (not that [b:Eleven on Top 11003 Eleven on Top (Stephanie Plum, #11) Janet Evanovich http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1311996117s/11003.jpg 811763] was all that bad), and I'm so relieved. I'd really started to get tired of the series' schtick. But this time out, we got some good character development; one of the best bad guys in a long, long time; less of the annoying aspects of the books; and enough laughs to remind me why I started reading these books in the first place.
