When bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is hired to search for missing waitress Maxine Nowicki, Plum's life becomes more complicated than she ever expected. This fourth novel in the Stephanie Plum mystery series is brimming with coarse and comic humor. C.J. Critt extends the spoken word to Grandma Mazur, hot cop Joe Morelli, transvestite rock musician Sally Sweet, and a myriad of colorful characters, supporting each with wily expression. The action never lets up as danger abounds, with crisp, clear dialogue delineating the plot to the final episode. B.J.L. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine -

Half-Hungarian, half-Italian and all-Jersey, Trenton's best-known bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum, is a raucous delight in this fast-paced sequel to Three to Get Deadly (1997). There's no such thing as a simple assignment for Stephanie. When Maxine Nowicki, charged with stealing her boyfriend's car, skips her court appearance, she's fair game to be hauled in--no big challenge, thinks Stephanie. Wrong. Before the case is over, Stephanie will invade an Atlantic City casino with her intrepid allies: sneaker-shod Grandma Mazur; her colleague Lula, "a two-hundred pound black woman with blond baloney curls all dressed up like Cher on a bad day"; and Sally, a seven-foot transvestite rock singer. Although Stephanie is the bounty hunter, she's the only one of the quartet who isn't armed. She also loses another car and her apartment, moves in with handsome cop and longtime love interest, Joe Morelli (causing a stir in his family and hers), has several memorable run-ins with arch rival Joyce Barnhardt, discovers a corpse and, finally, catches her quarry. With her brash exterior and high emotionality, Stephanie Plum is a welcome antidote to suave professional PIs. The supporting cast members, eccentric and recognizable, are as entertaining as those devised by Westlake and Leonard. Major ad/promo; author tour. -

Debi Mazar's streetwise and brash style bring to mind Stephanie Plum's big hair, short skirts, and smart mouth without even hearing her described. All of these attributes come in handy in Stephanie's job as a bounty hunter in Trenton, NJ, working for her (totally) unprincipled cousin Vinnie. Mazar narrates a little fast sometimes and doesn't always enunciate every word, but that's undoubtedly the way Stephanie talks too, and emphasizes the importance of setting to the story. In FOUR TO SCORE Atlantic City casinos and escalating threats to Stephanie's safety combine to give the listener a fast and exciting ride through the life of a woman trying to make a living as a bounty hunter. Mazar has a lot of fun, and so will the listener. M.A.M. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
