Sizzling Sixteen by Janet Evanovich
Summary:
It’s summertime in Jersey And all across the land It’s time for Summer Reading and working on your tan. But no vacation can start or go off without a hitch unless you’ve packed your bag with the latest Evanovich.
Yes, it’s time for Stephanie and gang to get up to their old antics with Grandma, Lula, Connie too— Mrs. Plum, she will be frantic! See, someone wants to kill Vinnie. Who? The list is long and Mooner returns to brighten our day complete with his favorite bong.

With Ranger days and Morelli nights (or perhaps it’s the other way ‘round) this sixteenth Stephanie Plum adventure will wear the blockbuster crown. So grab some donuts and Cluck-in-a-Bucket and get ready for grand-scale fun Number sixteen is a sure-fire bet.
My Review:
Stephanie Plum is back – armed with a Lucky Bottle inherited from her Uncle Pip. The contents of the bottle = unknown, but it sure is a handy device to have.
Sizzling Sixteen gave me exactly what I knew a Stephanie Plum novel would give me: lots of laughs, groans and an easy, fun read. For sixteen books now though I have been uncertain as to whether I’m a Ranger or a Morelli fan and, until Stephanie can make up her mind, I’ll happily go along with both as she does.
In this latest installment Stephanie’s boss (and cousin) Vinny has been kidnapped. Stephanie, Connie (the daughter of a mobster and Vinny’s secretary) and Lula (an ex-hooker turned filer/assistant bond-agent) have to find Vinny and dig him out of the trouble he got himself into or find themselves out of a job. From a kooky garage sale to buildings blowing up – this book gave me everything I had hoped to get out of it and is a worthy addition to the Plum series.
