Three to Get Deadly
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.

Janet Evanovich
In a genre packed with corpses, car chases, and high-stakes drama, Janet Evanovich carved out a space all her own—where crime meets comedy, and chaos is just another day in the life of bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. Blending mystery with mischief and a dash of romantic tension, Evanovich didn’t just break the mold of the traditional detective novel—she reloaded it with glitter, attitude, and Trenton, New Jersey swagger.
Long before she became one of the most recognizable names in crime fiction, Evanovich was a working mom in New Hampshire, writing romance novels at the kitchen table between carpools and casseroles. Her early career in romance taught her pacing and character chemistry, but it wasn’t until she added explosions, handcuffs, and the occasional donut-fueled stakeout that her voice truly found its wild, unmistakable rhythm.
Stephanie Plum
In a world of cold, calculating crime fiction, the Stephanie Plum series flips the script—with high heels, hot tempers, and hilariously high-stakes mayhem.

Stephanie Plum consists of thirty-one books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of two more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
