    About this audiobook

    Stephanie Plum, the beloved bounty hunter with attitude returns in this irresistible adventure from Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dirty Thirty and “most popular mystery writer alive” (The New York Times).

    Stephanie is having a bad hair day—for the whole month of January. She’s looking for Mo Bedemier, Trenton’s most beloved citizen, who was charged with carrying a concealed weapon and skipped bail. To help her, she’s got Lula, a former hooker turned file clerk. Lula’s itching to lock up a crook in the trunk of her car. And Morelli, the cop with the slow-burning smile, is acting polite even after Stephanie finds more bodies than the Trenton PD has seen in years. That’s a bad sign for sure.

    Featuring a feisty and funny heroine who “comes roaring in like a blast of very fresh air” (The Washington Post), Three to Get Deadly is fast-paced and entertaining suspense at its finest.

      I loved reading this book, however, this review is for the audio version. It is horribly abridged. I believe, if a book is going to be abridged, it should be done with care. You should keep as much of the actual action and story intact as possible. This version has cut out whole chunks, stopped in the middle of scenes and made it difficult to follow. Major portions of the book are missing. The only reason I gave it 3 stars is for Lori Petty, the reader of this book. She is fabulous. She brings the book to life--she IS Stephanie. I'd love to hear this book, unabridged, read by Lori Petty. I also wish she were the reader of the rest of the series. She is able to give more of a Jersey feel to the dialogue. Anyway, don't listen to the audio version unless you have already read the book. Then just listen to it for Lori.

      This was so poorly abridged that the story was impossible to follow.

    • 5/5
      I just love the stephainie plum series it is so hillarious but if I have to Pick one to be my favorite it would be Three To Get deadly. My favorite part is where Lula ties a red flag to the dead body so she doesn't get a ticket for a wide load.
    • 5/5
      Book 3 of the Plum SeriesStephanie, Joe, Ranger, and Grandma are at it again. Along with Lula, an ex-hooker who wants to be a bounty hunter. This time hunting down an old man named Mo, who owns the neighborhood ice cream shop. No problem, right? Have you read a Stephanie Plum novel? There is always a problem.Mo was simple charge with carrying a concealed weapon, but then it becomes so much more. Everyone in town is against Stephanie for messing with Mo. And Mo has more fight than would have been expected. Enter a few dead drug dealers and let the craziness begin.

      I like this series and was inspired to read this one by the recent movie, which isn't bad but not as good as the books. This one has as interesting plot and the usual humor which occasionally has me lol. My favorite scene is when she's chasing a suspect through the mall with her hair in tin foil from the hair dresser.

      Another cute quick read. I'm really starting to like Stephanie Plum.
    • 4/5
      I have read all of the Stephanie Plum novels so far and I just love these books. They are a very easy read and are something to read when you just wanna relax after a long day. They are just so humorous and I love all the characters, especially Grandma Mazur. It has a little bit of everything thrown in, while still being lighthearted.

      I would recommend these books to anybody.

      I love this series and enjoy all the interactions between Stephanie and Morelli. This time Stephanie is after the town candy shop owner. She hears it from everyone that he is innocent and to leave him alone. I love what she does find out about Mo.
    • 4/5
      Poor Stephanie Plum is tasked with tracking down beloved candy store owner Moses Bedemier, known to all in the burg as Uncle Mo, who has skipped bail by missing a hearing. The community shuns Stephanie while her parents nag her to settle down and get a real job. The characters come alive with eccentricities and personal histories with Stephanie that go back to grade school. Throw in a gun-toting grandmother, a lecherous cop, a retired 'ho' and the whole story runs rolls out like a comedy of errors told in a graveyard. Macabre, hilarious, unexpected fun!

      These books are always good for a fast paced dumb luck, laugh

      I have read three of these books in a week, loving them but I think I may be overdoing it. The thing I love about Stephanie Plum is that she is very relatable and very human.
    • 4/5
      I love this series!!! The start of this one was a little slow for me (perhaps it was the absence of Morelli that had me bummed;-)) ---but then comes Lula!!!!!! We laughed along with Grandma in "Two for the Money" and Lula didn't disappoint in "Three to Get Deadly." Not to mention Stephanie herself and all of her crazy happenings! These gals are truly FUNNY and the best part about these books - other than the fact that they are hilarious!- is that they actually have a good mystery in the background. Just when you think you have everything figured out---there's always a bizarre twist that jumps out of nowhere. The only disappointing thing about this series is that it took me so long to start reading it!!

      I get a kick out of Lula, she cracks me up.. at times I was worried about Stephanie, and Ranger is great... wish there was a bit more of Morelli in this book.. hopefully he's around more in the next!

      I have not read the first two novels,but look a chance on getting the next six for $3.00 . Some far, I do not regret it. They are funny and have a strong sense of New Jersey. This one involves Plum, a female bounty hunter for her cousin Vinnie who runs a bail bond agency, being assigned to bring in lovable old "Uncle Mo" who runs an ice cream and candy store in the neighborhood where she grew up, but has now skipped bail on a traffic ticket.

      3rd in the Stephanie Plum mystery series. In this one she's after the local candy man, Uncle Mo runs the local candy store for kids. But it seems that no one wants her to actually find him, she even gets death threats about it. It seems that dear Uncle Mo is going around and killing the drug pushers in the area. During this one it seems that her relationship with Morelli is starting to heat up as well.
    • 4/5
      Stephanie is starting to learn the ropes and isn't making as many mistakes in the bond enforcement business as in the prior two books. I'm just wondering if she and the L.E.O. are ever going to manage to get together. Recommend the series.
    • 5/5
      Loved it, as always. Great, mindless entertainment.
    • 3/5
      This was a pretty good book. I still love the characters, but the situations are starting to grow stale - although she escalated the romance side of the book a little more in this one. The writing was strong, and so is her characterizations, and this propels the novel well.

      Once again, narrator C J Critt provides tons of enjoyment through her delivery of Stephanie Plum's dry wit. I've explained to my family that I'm listening to "that funny book", so they won't think I'm crazy. ;)

      Love Joe! Love Grandma Mazur and the crew - listen to the audio...will keep you laughing in the car! Once again, the entire One for the Money crew is in action, including Ranger and Grandma Mazur, searching for Mo, tripping down a trail littered with drug dealers, leading Stephanie to suspect Mo has traded his ice-cream scoop for a vigilante gun.

      Cursed with a disastrous new hair color and an increasing sense that it’s really time to get a new job, Stephanie spirals and tumbles through Three to Get Deadly with all the wisecracks and pace her fans have come to expec

      This one took me forever to slog through. I don't know if it wasn't as good as the others or if I'm just growing weary of Ms. Plum. I'll read #4 and see if she still belongs in my rotation of female detectives or not.
    • 5/5
      I had so many belly laughs during this read that I don't think I can stop reading Janet on to book 4 soon as I can get it!
    • 5/5
      This book had me laughing so hard my family kept looking at me like I lost my mind. Terrific, funny easy read.
    • 5/5
      In the latest, Three to Get Deadly, Grandma Mazur gets a boyfriend. He looks about three hundred years old and sets his choppers by the plate — they don’t fit right. He has a glass eye from World War II. “Were you overseas?” Stephanie’s father asked. “Nope. Lost my eye at Camp Kilmer. I was inspecting my bayonet, and then next thing you know I’d poked my eye out with it.” And of course he wants to marry Grandma so he can move in with her son-in-law. Evanovich has an extraordinary flair for writing humorous dialogue and scenes.

      Stephanie is after the Burg's beloved candyman, and no one wants to help her. Well...except the usual cast, Lula, Ranger, and Morelli, but the rest of the city...not a fan of the big bad Bounty hunter taking on an "innocent" man.Fun, but not my favorite. Not enough of the supporting characters that make Stephanie so amazing.
