Title: More like 3 1/2 stars
Review: Unemployed and down on her luck, Stephanie Plum takes a job with her cousin Vinnie's bail bond service as a bounty hunter. Soon she is on the heels of Joe Morelli, a cop wanted for murder with whom Stephanie also has a complicated personal history. This is a light, breezy story whose main charm is its amusing lead character, who narrates the story and her many screw-ups on the way to ultimate victory in a very humorous voice. The end disappoints by denying us a major confrontation that seemed inevitable and by falling back on the old device of the villain who is undone because he takes the time to explain his schemes. Still, it remains a fast, enjoyable read.
