Product Information

No, Bruce Willis. I’m guessing you don’t even have a gun. I’m guessing your gun is home in your brown bear cookie jar.” Recently, Salgusta and one of his La-Z-Boy pals, Charlie Shine, decided my grandmother had the key to a treasure. They kidnapped Grandma and me, and while we endured some terrifying moments, we were able to escape with minimum damage. Problem is, Shine and Salgusta still want the key to the treasure, and we saw them murder a man in cold blood while we were captive. So, there’s incentive for Salgusta and Shine to capture us again, persuade Grandma to give them the key, and then kill us. As we know from the last book, Grandma got the keys by accident, so off they go looking for the clues while the remaining bad guys (Salgosta and Shine) bring in thugs to kidnap Stephanie and Grandma, torture them till they say where the treasure is (they don't believe Grandma doesn't know, but she has no idea), and then kill them of course. Grandma isn't going to quit the quest so Stephanie puts her life in danger over and over to protect her, and Ranger, whose feelings for Stephanie are usually expressed eloquently by saying, "Babe," invests a stupendous amount of material (I lost count of how many cars) and manpower to protect Stephanie or save her when protection fails. Brian Michael Bendis, the New York Times bestselling, Peabody and multi-Eisner award-winning co-creator of Miles Morales, Naomi, Jessica Jones, and POWERS tells a comedic life lesson about the horrors of Hollywood. But as Stephanie and Grandma Mazur search for Jimmy Rosolli's treasure, they discover that they're not the only ones on the hunt. Two dangerous enemies from the past stand in their way, along with a new adversary who's even more formidable: Gabriela Rose, a dark-eyed beauty from Little Havana with a taste for designer clothes. She's also a soldier of fortune, a gourmet cook, an expert in firearms and mixed martial arts and someone who's about to give Stephanie a real run for her money.

I know it’s a righteous undertaking to protect your granny,” Lula said, “but we aren’t exactly that Die Hard guy.”I wasn’t going to waste bullets on rats. I was saving them for whatever more horrible, more ferocious creatures might be lurking in the dark. Alligators or a slimy mud monster or Lou Salgusta.

But as Stephanie and Grandma Mazur search for Jimmy Rosolli’s treasure, they discover that they’re not the only ones on the hunt. Two dangerous enemies from the past stand in their way—along with a new adversary who’s even more formidable: Gabriela Rose, a dark-eyed beauty from Little Havana with a taste for designer clothes. She’s also a soldier of fortune, a gourmet cook, an expert in firearms and mixed martial arts—and someone who’s about to give Stephanie a real run for her money. Fortune and Glory, also known as Tantalizing Twenty-Seven, is the latest Stephanie Plum mystery novel by Janet Evanovich, published in November 2020. I've been a fan of this series from the beginning, reading them all at once during my initial introduction... but for the last decade reading them the week they're released. I always enjoy them, even if they can become slightly repetitive, and recommend them to others who like sarcastic humor and unbelievable situations that we wish could happen... maybe not the actual murders, but definitely all the hilarity. Exactly,” Lula said. “There’s no other smells besides dirt, and that would indicate that we’re underground with no windows or anything. Like we’re in a tomb. You see what I’m saying?” After several minutes of searching, we found a trapdoor hidden under a rug. We opened the door, climbed down a ladder, and stood squinting in the dim light of an escape tunnel that was approximately six feet high and three feet wide. It was encased in concrete and lit by a single bulb that was about thirty feet in front of the ladder.She does have help from some well-connected friends in law enforcement, who save her skin multiple times. The antics during the bounty hunting are part of what makes this book so much fun to read. Add in the family dynamics and the drama that follows Stephanie everywhere, and it is great at keeping you curious as to what is going to happen next!
