This isn't just another case. This is family. How far will Stephanie Plum go to protect the one person who means the most to her? The stakes have never been higher in this #1 New York Times bestseller from Janet Evanovich. Grandma Mazur has decided to get married again - this time to a local gangster named Jimmy Rosolli. If Stephanie has her doubts about this marriage, she doesn't have to worry for long, because the groom drops dead of a heart attack 45 minutes after saying, "I do." A sad day for Grandma Mazur turns into something far more dangerous when Jimmy's former "business partners" are convinced that his new widow is keeping the keys to a financial windfall all to herself. But the one thing these wise guys didn't count on was the widow's bounty hunter granddaughter, who'll do anything to save her.

“You still want to chase after this guy?”
“You bet your ass. Just because he made fools out of us three times, don't mean one of these times we won't luck out. Notice he called us losers and not quitters. That's on account of we never quit. In my mind, that's the difference between being a loser-and a winner. A winner is willing to look like a idiot for as long as it takes to get the job done. I figure you stick with i it long enough ~ and you win. Unless you die or come down with some disease like shingles or cancer of the rectum. If I ever got cancer of the rectum, I'd go to the best rectumologist out there. Like I'd get a celebrity rectumologist. I wouldn't mess around with some local yokel.”
“All good to know,” I said.

“I don't want to do this job anymore. I'm not good at it. I don't like it. I don't like being in the bad neighborhoods looking for the bad people.”
“What would you rather do?”
“I don't know,” I said.
“Do you have a direction?”
“No.”
“Babe.”
“Yeah, I'm a mess.”
“You aren't a mess,” he said. “You're just a little burned out.”
“It's more than that. I'm stagnant. There's no growth in my life.”
“That's okay as long as you like what you're doing. Not everyone needs to keep moving up the ladder.”
Look Alive Twenty-Five
Grandma Mazur is right in the middle of the action in Twenty-Six. Grandma has impulsively run off and married a mob boss, And the mob boss has unexpectedly dropped dead after forty-five minutes of wedded bliss. He unfortunately did not reveal the location of the all-important mob keys, though everyone presumes that the new bride has them. For that reason, and for other reasons of jealousy and greed, many people want Grandma dead.
If you are looking for a couple of hours of reading fun, pick up this or any of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books.
