Review 1:
"Here's Stephanie Plum, a bail-bond agent from Trenton, NJ, clumping onto the PI scene in Doc Martens, with a sassy lip that would stop Philip Marlowe. Her equipment includes button-fly Levi's, a .38 and a sprightly Italian granny who loves mysteries. Stephanie crackles with '90s 'tude."
Review 2:
"As more dealers with connections to Uncle Mo are knocked off, Stephanie becomes so rattled that she dyes her hair orange. But even this fashion blunder looks good on the adorable klutz, whose manic excesses are an indelible part of her charm."

Review 3:
"Stephanie Plum is destined to join ranks with Kinsey Millhone and Carlotta Carlyle. Janet Evanovich has crafted a heroine for today, tough, vulnerable, resourceful, and impulsive."
Review 4:
"The dialogue is snappy, the action is swift and the plot is sound. With this Plum, Evanovich has got the whole pie!"
