AND THAT MEANS BIG TROUBLE!

Mysterious men have a way of showing up in Stephanie Plum's apartment. When the shadowy Diesel appears, he has a task for Stephanie--and he's not taking no for an answer. Annie Hart is a "relationship expert" who is wanted for armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. Stephanie needs to find her, fast. Diesel knows where she is. So they make a deal: He'll help her get Annie if Stephanie plays matchmaker to several of Annie's most difficult clients. But someone wants to find Annie even more than Diesel and Stephanie. Someone with a nasty temper. And someone with "unmentionable" skills. Does Diesel know more than he's saying about Annie Hart? Does Diesel have secrets he's keeping from Stephanie and the two men in her life--Ranger and Morelli? With Stephanie Plum in over her head, things are sure to get a little dicey and a little explosive, Jersey style! "

My Review:
I simply love these between the plums books.  It's a nice short, easy, yet still mysterious read.  Diesel is by far my most favorite part of these books.  He is so mysterious, he reveals just enough about himself to make you wonder who...or what he really is, but never enough to answer those questions you wonder about.  I also can't help but laugh at how nonchalant Stephanie has become over the many books in this series, about all the men that just seem to come and go in her apartment.  They come, they stay, the sleep in her bed, they sort of live with her for a short time, then they go again.  Through all that Stephanie now just seems to deem it "normal" for her.  I find that hilarious!  These books are a great way to tie in a few things to the other books too.  There is usually some big event that happens in these short in between books that concludes something from the main books.  This time it involved Stephanie's sister Valerie.

This book has Stephanie and Diesel partnering up again.  They are trying to figure out a mystery that has caused one of Stephanie's FTA's to go into hiding.  This FTA is a big bond and Stephanie has to find her, but only Diesel seems to know how to do that, and he isn't telling Stephanie a darn thing until she helps him solve his mystery too.  I can't really give details, as this is a short book with a lot that happens in it and I don't like to be the spoiler.  However, this is a great book with a great mystery and many laugh out loud parts to it.  One of my favorite laugh out loud parts was when Stephanie sees what her Grandmother has done to her appearance because there was a sale.  I could just see it and it made me laugh SO hard!

5/5 Stars!!!
