'No less than her plotting, Evanovich's characterizations are models of screwball artistry.

As one reads the book, she is as entertaining as always. If at times she drifts towards the formulaic and stale, this is only really evident in retrospect. There are few surprises here-Janet Evanovich is good and funny on the subtle variations in New Jersey's suburbs and the differences between good and bad neighbourhoods, and she has always had the knack of constructing knockabout scenes of slapstick and farce. As usual, she finds herself caught between her regular boyfriend, cop Morelli, and the dangerous and charming Ranger as usual, the main plot goes on in the intervals between her regular rounds of catching up with bail defaulters and delivering them to court, and her involvement with her eccentric Hungarian and Italian relatives.

She has inconvenienced a local street gang and finds herself with a price on her head the contract killer known as the Junkman has a taste for torture as well as murder, and she is the last victim on his list. The latest of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum adventures, Ten Big Ones places New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie in rather more jeopardy than usual. 'synopsis' may belong to another edition of this title. Ten Big Ones is page-turning entertainment, and Janet Evanovich is the best there is. With Lula riding shotgun and Grandma Mazur on the loose, Stephanie Plum is racing against the clock in her most suspenseful novel yet. And if the Junkman doesn't find her first. There's only one safe place, and it has Ranger's name all over it-if she can find it. With super bounty hunter Ranger acting more mysteriously than ever (and the tension with vice cop Joe Morelli getting hotter), she finds herself with a decision to make: how to protect herself and where to hide while on the hunt for a killer known as the Junkman. It would be just another day in the life of Stephanie Plum, except that she becomes the target of a gang-and of an even scarier, more dangerous force that comes to Trenton. A robbery leads to an explosion, which leads to the destruction of yet another car. But Stephanie Plum and her partner, Lula, are clearly in the wrong place at the wrong time. It begins as an innocent trip to the deli-mart, on a quest for nachos. She's Stephanie Plum, and she kicks butt for a living (well, she thinks it sounds good to put it that way.). Her mother's convinced she'll end up dead. She's a target for every psycho and miscreant this side of the Jersey Turnpike. She's accidentally destroyed a dozen cars. Janet Evanovich is the hottest author in America, and her Stephanie Plum novels have taken the nation by storm!
