Stephanie’s focus on the ex-cop, Joseph Morelli, became a bit silly at times because she was focused on him for the wrong reasons – they had a little hour long fling back in high school and she has held a grudge since.

That said, it was an enjoyable book with plenty of humor, and just enough seriousness for me to look forward to catching more books in the series. So, I already had an idea of how odd it was and the sense of humor I was in for. I think this book had less impact on me because I saw the movie based on the book a few years ago. It’s a crazy, whacky mystery just with that set up. In walks Ranger, a professional bounty hunter of Cuban descent. Now she has two reasons to learn how to use pepper spray and a gun. Along the way, she attracts the attention of a man known for his taste in violence. Her first case is to track down and apprehend an ex-cop wanted for murder. She manages to score beat up vehicle that had some interesting graffiti, and lands a job at her cousin Vinny’s place, as a bounty hunter. taking place in Trenton, New Jersey, Stephanie survives having regular dinner at her parents’ place (and her mother’s attempts to set her up with a potential husband).

But she lost her job, hasn’t found any real work for several months, lost her car, and will soon be evicted if she doesn’t pay her rent. Who I Recommend This To: Modern-day action mysteries with a quirky hero. Why I Read It: The series has been highly recommended to me.
