From Booklist
*Starred Review* Stephanie Plum is a Jersey Girl, a bounty hunter, and a resident of a part of Trenton where you can still go to Mom's for dinner and your cop boyfriend Morelli's grandmother has visions that include you in a coffin. Stephanie is on the trail of an Indian contract worker named Singh who disappeared when his visa was up. When she interviews a McDonald's employee who knew him, he's shot as she stands there. Then rose-and-carnation bouquets with very sinister notes start appearing in Stephanie's apartment and in her e-mail, and a few more bodies turn up with bullet holes. Meanwhile, Stephanie's sister, Valerie, is about to give birth; her sidekick, Lula, goes on the loudest diet ever written; and a trip to Vegas--yes, it's business--involves both Elvis and Tom Jones impersonators. Evanovich, and Stephanie, are at the top of their form here: laugh-out loud moments jostle with sticky, visceral terror; Stephanie's mentor, Ranger, and Morelli don't so much vie for her favors as bestow them in turn. Ever smarter, funnier, sexier, scarier. GraceAnne DeCandido

Kurzbeschreibung
Bombshell bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is back on her Harley -- so get ready for the ride of your life! Witty, fresh, and full of surprises, Janet Evanovich's most explosive thriller yet is Stephanie's best mis-adventure ever. As she spirals and tumbles through the frenetic and incendiary world of Plum, she can hardly catch her breath, let alone her man -- even if she could decide which one to chase.

Im mittlerweile neunten Band der beliebten Serie um Kopfgeldjägerin Stephanie Plum muss diese einmal keinen Kriminellen fangen, sondern Samuel Singh, einen Gastarbeiter, der kurz vor Ablauf seiner Arbeitserlaubnis spurlos verschwindet. Sowohl seine Zimmerwirtin und zukünftige Schwiegermutter, als auch Vincent, Stephanies Chef, der eine Visa-Bürgschaft für Singh ausgestellt hatte, sind beunruhigt und beauftragen Stephanie und Ranger, den Verschwundenen so schnell wie möglich aufzutreiben. Eine verhältnismäßig leichte Aufgabe, und dennoch verlaufen alle Spuren erstmal im Nichts. Doch dann erhält Stephanie plötzlich Blumen von einem Unbekannten, begleitet von bedrohlichen Emails. Ist sie doch auf der richtigen Spur oder haben diese Drohungen gar nichts mit dem Fall zu tun ?
"To The Nines" beginnt wie die vorherigen Stephanie Plum Bücher auch, es gibt überraschende Unterhaltungen am Mittagstisch im Hause Plum, Stephanies Schwester wirft ein Auge auf Ranger, Lula macht eine Diät und in Stephanies Wohnung wird mal wieder eingebrochen. Doch mit Einführung des geheimnisvollen Verehrers und dessen nicht gerade subtiler Drohungen hat das Buch ein zusätzliches Spannungselement, das jedoch nicht auf Kosten des Humors geht. Stattdessen gibt es diesmal zum Beispiel keine Besuche bei Stivas Bestattungsinstitut, ein Tausch, der zumindest in meinen Augen nur positiv ist.
Es scheint, als sei Janet Evanovich sich bewusst geworden, dass sie neue Elemente in die Serie einfließen lassen muss, um diese nicht nur für die treuesten Fans interessant zu halten. So reist Stephanie in diesem Band zum Beispiel auch nach Las Vegas und lässt damit erstmals New Jersey hinter sich. Manchmal waren die Übergänge zwischen Komödie und Thriller etwas zu abrupt, und wer sich hinter dem geheimnisvollen Unbekannten verbirgt, war ziemlich offensichtlich, aber für mich hat diese neue Richtung der Serie trotzdem gut funktioniert. Und, wer einen "richtigen" Thriller lesen will, wird vermutlich sowieso nicht zu Janet Evanovich greifen.

I don't think there is the need to add any more regarding the contents of this book, because the other reviewers have already done a great job there.
The combo-pack of Steph and Lula is really a disaster waiting to happen. Besides trying to apprehend Samuel Singh and Steph's being hunted by the Carnation Killer/The Web Master they fight their way through Lula's membership with "FatBusters", Lula's new supermodel diet which might give her carnivore incisors, Steph's new haircut ("cute" or looking like Ron King, depending on how you look at it), not-so-saintlike-anymore Valerie working her way through umpteenth layers of food (having gained 70 punds during pregnancy), Grandma Bella's Italian Voodoo (her giving the eye to people) and Lula living in a size-seven white world despite of being a plus-size black woman.
I would have loved to see Lula's "King Kong thong" (nope, I am not going to give away the scene but it is on p.145) Would also have loved to see Steph in her state of "euphoric slobbering contentment" (p. 218) or Steph's "hair disaster of biblical proportions" (p.224).
Steph doesn't wreck cars in this book, but causes havoc among Ranger's "Merry Men" (one broken leg, one concussion and one smashed hand). Neither does Grandma Mazur pay respects at Stiva's (but has a nice spikey hairdo...hehehe).
However, Grandma Mazur still lusts after Ranger (just like every other female on the Plum-planet), the situation in her parents' house is getting even worse (with the new baby being born and Albert Kloughn moving in as well) and Steph is even thinking about having a baby.
It was good to have a little less of Grandma Mazur's antics and more of Lula's histrionics of a "retired 'ho'".
Steph's adventures may not be the most thrilling around, but they are definitely the funniest:
This book is hilariously funny from page one right to the very end. I couldn't put it down and kept chuckling right through (e.g. "genuine fake tiger", Lula in regard to her tee, p. 7), because I knew the next Plum-disaster was right around the corner and I wasn't disappointed.
Reading this book is like visiting with old and dear friends who become dearer each time you meet them.
Neither can I wait for book No. 10 in this series nor can I wait for the screen adaption!
Mrs. Evanivich got me hooked!
Result: Definitely 5 stars!

This was a very eagerly-awaited book for me - I have vastly enjoyed the Stephanie Plum series and was interested to see where Janet Evanovich could further take her characters.
It is a good book but perhaps not quite at the same level as the earlier ones. The crime aspect of the book is still good - cleverly plotted, it's not obvious who the 'baddie' is, but the relationship side between Stephanie, Morelli and Ranger was less satisfying this time. It's never quite made clear why Morelli and Ranger are so keen on Stephanie when she's such a walking disaster area!
The synopsis provided on Amazon (and elsewhere) is actually incorrect - Sally Sweet doesn't appear in this book. There are less of the usual crowd of new odd characters in this instalment - Evanovich makes more use of the existing characters like Lula, Connie Rosolli, Tank etc.
All in all I would say it's a great read and very amusing as always, but Evanovich may have written Stephanie into rather a corner with Morelli and Ranger. If she's with Morelli she can't be with Ranger and still be respected by us, so we have to make do with smouldering looks (from Ranger) and the thoughts of what could be... were Stephanie not with Morelli.
Read and enjoy!
