	1.	Evanovich, Janet  Metro Girl Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. HarperCollins 2004 1st Edition. 1st Impression. Hard Cover New New Signed by Author New in New DJ protected byBrodart mylar DJ cover. Direct from Publisher. Signed on tipped in end paper. May have very minor bumping compliments of 'the boys in brown' from shipping to me. FROM THE PUBLISHER She writes "high speed comic mayhem" (Detroit Free Press); she’s "a blast of fresh air" (Washington Post), "side-splittingly funny" (Publishers Weekly) and "a winner" (Glamour). In other words, she’s Janet Evanovich. And she debuts at HarperCollins with a spectacular new novel, complete with high stakes, hot nights, murder and graft. Not to mention car chases, car races, car explosions, and car--well, you get the idea. Alexandra Barnaby got the brains in her family. The little gray cells certainly bypassed Barney’s younger brother, Wild Bill. He’s a pretty good boat captain but he’s taken on a new job with his eyes conveniently closed. Before long, Bill goes missing, so Barney is dispatched to Florida with the bugs and the heat and the bad-hair-day humidity. Barney’s thinking things can’t get too much worse as she makes the rounds of South Beach, unemployed and sunburned, following her brother’s trail of broken-hearted bimbos. Too bad for Barney--she’s wrong about the getting worse part. Enter Sam Hooker. Somebody’s stolen his boat and the trail leads to--you guessed it--Wild Bill. Since Will Bill is missing, Hooker decides to follow Barney and see if she can lead him to his boat. Dogs and cats never die in the world of Evanovich, and bad guys are almost always brought to justice. Sam Hooker and Alexandra Barnaby, in their quest to reclaim what’s theirs, blast through Florida from Daytona straight on to Key West, exposing a plot to grab Cuban land and to lay waste the people involved. Cussing and tasteless sexual inneuendo included. Price: 29.00 USD

	3.	Evanovich, Janet  Seven Up (Stephanie Plum Novel Ser., Bk. 7) New York, NY, U.S.A. Saint Martin's Press, LLC 2001 1st Edition. 1st Impression. Hard Cover New New Signed by Author New in new dj covered with Brodart. Signed by author on full title page. From The Critics USA Today It's mystery and detecting on the lighter side, the perfect way to cleanse your palate. New York Times Book Review Janet Evanovich's madcap comic mystery is pure, classic farce--Jersey Girl style. USA Today Evanovich's books are ...loads of fun. They're full of modern-day slapstick and yuck-it-up dialogue with laughs on every page. It's mystery and detecting on the lighter side, the perfect way to cleanse your palate. People Magazine Expect a laugh per page...a clever cast of good-hearted hoods and nutty family members to rival The Sopranos...Bottomline: Plum Pick. Publisher's Weekly It's always a treat to go out on a case with Stephanie Plum, the sassy, adventurous, but not always successful Trenton, N.J., bounty hunter. In her seventh outing (after Hot Six), Stephanie's employer, her bailbondsman cousin, Vinnie, gives her an easy job: pick up vicious senior citizen Eddie DeChooch, who is constantly sighted racing around Trenton in a borrowed white Cadillac, but whom no one can grab. While in Virginia picking up the cigarettes he's charged with smuggling into New Jersey, he stole the heart from the recently dead body of his enemy, Louis DeStephano. The heart's whereabouts define the darkly hilarious trajectory of the plot. The usual characters inhabit the novel: Steph's former high school buddies, the zonked-out Dougie and Mooner; and Evanovich's best creation, feisty Grandma Mazur. Stephanie's much-resented sister Valerie returns from California with her two daughters, her "perfect" marriage ended, and moves in with her parents, to their dismay. Steph and her lover Joe Morelli almost set a wedding date, but again she avoids commitment, still attracted to fellow bounty hunter Ranger. At times the plot meanders: Stephanie and pal Lula spend too much time running from house to house in the inbred Burg neighborhood, while two semi-retired crooks looking for DeChooch keep breaking into her apartment for little reason. All in all this is another zesty Evanovich read, but one that doesn't quite hit the high marks of her last two. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information. Library Journal Fans of Trenton, NJ, bounty hunter Stephanie Plum will find much to enjoy in this, her seventh outing. As usual, she is on the trail of some weird people who've not appeared in court, including a senior citizen involved with contraband cigarettes and a previously meek man who trashes his ex's wedding in some imaginative ways. Involved in all this is Joe Morelli, Trenton cop and Stephanie's lover, who's stressing her out by proposing; her grandmother; Lola, the former hooker who now works with Stephanie; and her sister, who's flown in from L.A. after her husband leaves her. Evanovich makes all this not only credible but funny and exciting to boot. Narrator Tanya Eby is able to make Stephanie and those who inhabit her world real, vital, quirky, and just as lively as Evanovich writes them. The vocalizations are appropriately urban, and her rendering of Grandma Mazur-catching the wavery quality of some elderly voices-is especially impressive. Recommended.-Melody A. Moxley, Rowan P.L., Salisbury, NC Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information. AudioFile Tanya Eby's performance is effervescent as she plays Stephanie Plum, wise-cracking New Jersey bounty hunter who is back in Evanovich's seventh whodunit. (This listener was cautioned by aficionados to take in this author's first six, but that was not really necessary.) Plum, who works for her cousin Vinnie, a bail bondsman, and her cast of characters, who include her hip 83-year-old grandmother, vice cop and boyfriend Joe Morelli, and Ranger, a truly magnificent dude, track a missing senior citizen. Eby, as Plum, often sounds like Popeye's Olive Oyl; she is portrayed as brassy, bold, and sassy and has the New Jersey idiom down almost perfectly. Her SEVEN UP portrayal sparkles and never fizzles out. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine Kirkus Reviews When her cousin Vinny, of Vincent Plum Bail Bonds, tells Stephanie Plum that her next unwilling subject is DeChooch, who's skipped to the tune of $50,000, Steph is less than thrilled. Fuhgedaboudit, says New Jersey's least productive, most seductive bounty hunter: "He's old, and he kills people, and he's dating my grandmother." But no experienced Plum-watcher will take that as definitive. Steph (Hot Six), often means yes when she says no—particularly if the question involves money or sex. In this case, the money amounts to five large if she can bag DeChooch. As for sex, enter hunk Trenton detective Joe Morelli and hunk bounty hunter Ranger Manoso, both eager to resume the never-ending battle for Steph's bodacious body, of which both have made notable conquests. But now there's a complicating factor. Steph appears to have engaged herself to marry Morelli, though Ranger can be forgiven if he perceives a certain ambiguity in that complex relationship. At any rate, DeChooch proves exactly the handful Steph feared he might. True, he's got cataracts, and it's been a while since he actually blew anyone away, but the old lion is nobody's pussycat. Besides, he has lots of friends and enemies, none of them out to make Steph's life easier. Though Steph and company try hard, there's an unsettling sense of the overfamiliar this time—the sense of a long-running series hitting the wall. It'll do for the army of true-blue fans, but it's not the one to use as a recruiting tool. Sample picture available at abnormalbooks dot com. Price: 39.00 USD
