Yes, I like the idea of the short story this week. Not only for me to catch up, but for others as well.

I use to hear Betsy in my head when I read that series. Then I'd write like she's speaks. When reading this series, I find myself doing that, too. Especially with Granda Mazur. I say everything is a "pip".



Edit to Add:
Somehow I missed listing Plum Spooky on page 1. I've fixed it.

I'm about to start it! The short in by my bedside to begin today.

Haidee, I've never head of Cassie Clare. Glad to know she's been published tho, was one of your favs and you found a book by her.

You also didn't miss much with the anthology. Front and back pages were about 50, so it was really short.



Opens with Lulu and Steph being locked in a basement. Lulu getting so creeped out by crawling things on her person which she cannot see in the dark, she finally just busts the door down. They find a body. Peeping Tom, but rather harmless and has a rep around the town as being such. Someone just got fed up and finally called the cops on him, he goes FTA, assigned to Steph, and that's the dead body they find. They run for it, call the cops, and go back but the body is gone. Come to find out that an old lady shot him rather by accident when he probably walked into her kitchen late a night cause he was thirsty. She calls a female neighbor for help. Neighbor asks her husband what to do. He stashs it where Steph and Lulu stumble across it. The old lady and female neighbor decided since the neighbor's husband is such an abuser and beats on his wife and kids that they would frame him for the murder.

To make a long story short, Steph figures all this out and decided to keep mum about it. Interesting that she just lets it lie and doesn't tell the cops. She figures he was so awful a person that even tho he didn't do this, everybody is better off with him behind bars and his kids and wife are safe as well.

Did I miss anything, Kate?

Yeah, that Lula is a trip. They are like, "how the heck are we ganna get out of here?" All it took was just the thought of spiders. I can relate as well, Kate. Believe me, I would have figured out how to get that door opened, too.

Quotes of note from Three to get Deadly:

I didn't want to burst his fantasy bubble, but the only time Ranger wouldn't look out of place would be standing in a line up between Rambo and Batman.

Rex telepathically suggested that communicating with my mother in person would have the added advantage of being able to scrounge dinner.
I thought this was pretty clever considering Rex had a brain the size of a dried pea.

I love it when Mrs. Bestler, one of Steph's neighbors, plays elevator operator:

"Going up. Third floor, lingerie and ladies' handbags."

Stephanie Plum's rule of thumb for mental health -- always procrastinate the unpleasant. After all, I could get run over by a truck tomorrow...

I've already started Four to Score and am on page 28.

My books, I can corner them if I wanna!

I'm almost finished with 4, just a couple dozen pages to go. How fun that Sally is now with us. She's one of my very favorite characters.

Thought it was too funny that everybody knew Stephanie had sex. Interesting how one remembers things, cause I thought Ranger was first.
