Hard Eight

Hard Eight by Janet Evanovich
Mystery
Mabel Markowitz, Stephanie's mother's neighbour asks Stephanie to check on the whereabouts of her daughter Evelyn Soder. She has gone missing along with her daughter. Mabel's house may be in jeopardy as she put it up as part of the child custody agreement.
In the course of this investigation Stephanie comes across Eddie Ambruzzi, a psycho. Ambruzzi has Stephanie trailed by a rabbit and leaves her snakes and spiders and dead bodies.

Stephanie is also in the process of bringing in Andy Bender, with help from a lawyer clown, Albert Kloughn. She ends up losing an endless number of handcuffs and a car in the process. This part is absolutely hilarious. Bender is interested in Stephanie's sister Valerie who has moved back home with her children.

and the best part is that Stephanie finally gets it on with Ranger. About time!!

First Line: "Lately, I've been spending a lot of time rolling on the ground with men who think a stiffy represents personal growth."
