Smokin' Seventeen is the latest installment in the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. This is an excellent series if you like a good measure of humor mixed in with your mysteries. It features Stephanie Plum, accidental bounty hunter, and her crazy family and friends. Smokin' Seventeen finds Stephanie working out of a bus after her Uncle Vinnie's bail bond office burns down. A serial killer is dumping bodies on the construction site of the new office. The cops are on the case, but when it looks as though the killer is sending Stephanie a message, she has to get involved. Stephanie tracks the killer in her usual haphazard style. Meanwhile, Stephanie's family has decided she needs a new man and attempts to set her up with an old high school classmate, with disasterous results.
This book is much the same as the other Stephanie Plum mysteries. They are formulaic but funny. The characters are hilarious. If you liked the others, you'll probably like this one too. If you haven't read the series, start with the first book: One for the Money.
