As readers of Janet Evanovich's two previous books about funny, feisty, family-tied bounty hunter Stephanie Plum already know, she operates in "the burg"--a "comfy residential chunk of Trenton, New Jersey, where houses and minds are proud to be narrow and hearts are generously wide open." On this turf, Plum fights for justice and fashion points--this time in pursuit of a beloved neighborhood candystore owner who seems to be moonlighting as an anti-drug vigilante. Evanovich now lives in New Hampshire, but authentic affection for Trenton energizes her prose. Plums in paperback include One for the Money and Two for the Dough.
Book Description
Stephanie Plum, the brassy babe in the powder blue Buick is back and she's having a bad hair day -- for the whole month of January.
She's been given the unpopular task of finding Mo Bedemier, Trenton's most beloved citizen, arrested for carrying concealed, gone no-show for his court appearance.
And to make matters worse, she's got Lula, a former hooker turned file clerk -- now a wannabe bounty hunter -- at her side, sticking like glue. Lula's big and blonde and black and itching to get the chance to lock up a crook in the trunk of her car.
Morelli, the New Jersey vice cop with the slow-burning smile that undermines a girl's strongest resolve is being polite. So what does this mean? Has he found a new love? Or is he manipulating Steph, using her in his police investigation, counting on her unmanageable curiosity and competitive Jersey attitude?
Once again, the entire One for the Money crew is in action, including Ranger and Grandma Mazur, searching for Mo, tripping down a trail littered with dead drug dealers, leading Stephanie to suspect Mo has traded his ice-cream scoop for a vigilante gun.
Cursed with a disastrous new hair color and an increasing sense that it's really time to get a new job, Stephanie spirals and tumbles through Three to Get Deadly with all the wisecracks and pace her fans have come to expect.

Stephanie Plum series.......2007-09-02
I love the Stephanie Plum series of novels. I really hate reading so I purchase them both in audio for me and paperback for houseguests and friends. I'm drawn in with the excitment and adventure of the story that Janet seems to capture in every novel. It has twists, turns, Lula, mystery, wonder, and of course two very "HOT" men! Who wouldn't want a mix of both men. :} I would recommend the "Plum" series, her "Full" series, as well as her earlier novels of mixed titles. They're all great fun and keep you as a reader at the edge of your seat waiting to see if a cars going to get blown up, who's died this week, who attends the pot roast dinner, who she sleeps with next, what will burn down next, and will she get her man (love or bounty). I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. I look forward to #14 in the "Plum" series, the next "Full" novel, and the new novel Janet recently wrote with a new author being released this October. Thank you!
Not really impressed.......2007-08-14
After enjoying the first two Stephanie Plum stories, I eagerly jumped into this one. It did not meet expectations. It was just not believable. Stephanie continues to make the kinds of mistakes that you would think she would learn from by now. And while I was able to laugh at the irreverence of the earlier books, I agree with others who said this book was a bit TOO crude. I am undecided as to whether to move onto the 4th.
Grandma Mazur ... I'd like you to meet Lula!.......2007-08-09
It was a slow day in the bounty hunting business and the best that Stephanie could do was an FTA. "Uncle Mo" Bedemier, well-loved owner of the local ice cream parlour, was a "failure to appear" on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon. Stephanie didn't like the idea of having to chase down one of the burg's most respected citizens and the local populace, thinking the charge bogus and ill-advised in any event, certainly weren't tripping over themselves to give Stephanie a lending hand finding her man. But business is business and Stephanie is Stephanie. She leaped into the deep end of the pool and soon found herself up to her neck in murdered drug dealers, vigilantes, bible-thumping snake-charming country preachers and the porn industry. Plenty of room for fun and games in this little story!
But from the first moment a grateful reading audience read Stephanie Plum's exploits in her debut novel "One for the Money", the plot never has been the thing. "Three to Get Deadly" doesn't change a thing about that. Character development, slapstick comedy, earthy blue-collar New York dialogue and sticky wickets that would do "The Perils of Pauline" proud are what has rocketed this series to the top of the best-selling lists. No doubt about it. Janet Evanovich continues her string of successes and laugh-out-loud hilarity reigns supreme from first page to last.
Did you like Grandma Mazur in the first two books of the series? Then you'll die for Lula, former juiced hooker, newly minted office assistant and bounty hunter in training under Stephanie's dubious tutelage. She's "f"-ing amazing - funny, frolicsome, free-wheeling, full-figured, feisty, fired-up, frantic, in your face and fabulous! She's got a salty mouth and an attitude that any self-respecting trucker would be might proud of! What a piece of work.
Highly recommended.
Paul Weiss
Probbably the best of the series.......2007-08-09
Three to Get Deadly is probably the most well constructed book of the Stephanie Plum series. It's hilarious and full of colourful characters. You will love it. I recommend it for anyone over the age of 16.
Too outlandish.......2007-05-25
I thought her first novel had a few interesting twists and, despite the excessive crudeness, was entertaining. The second book seemed to get a bit too trashy. I thought I would give her one more chance in case she turned the corner. I was disappointed and will move on to another author.
In an effort to keep people amused and laughing, she opts for shock value via crude language and raunchy characters instead of creativity and true wit. Furthermore, Three to Get Deadly crosses the line in too many ways. First, she downplays pedophilia. Next, she makes a pervert likeable and almost makes you feel sorry for him. She leads you into wanting to forgive the guy when his actions are deplorable. Plus she seems to justify vigilantism and trashes God and a church. I could list a few dozen other objectionable points - not just morally, but also from the perspective of entertainment and writing skill.
I think she started off with a good plot and an interesting idea in her first book and built some interesting characters. However, she overused phrases, (if I read "damned skippy" one more time I was going to throw the book across the room) used crudeness and trashy language to keep things going instead of using literary skill, and her content and characters went down hill. Why does every new character have to be so outlandish? Because it is easier to choose shock than to think through interesting character build up.
Save your money and read something of value.
Book Description
In and out of hospitals since birth, angelic nine-month-old Morgan Reid finally succumbed to what appeared to be Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Morgan's Texas-born mother Tanya, a nurse and devoted wife, pulled up stakes with her grieving husband Jim, and moved on. It was the best way to put the past behind them. Until their son Michael, a boy who by all accounts was terrified of his mother, began showing signs of the same affliction that stole the life of his baby sister....First, the suspicion: Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. Then, Tanya was charged and convicted with felony child abuse of her son. She was later tried and ultimately convicted for first degree murder of Morgan. It would become a landmark trial that unfolded in a series of reversals and bizarre twists of fate as it gradually revealed another side of Tanya Reid-of her own troubling childhood and the dark secrets that drove a woman to the cruelest deception of all....

A Horrifying Case of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy .......2007-08-28
Presently, Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy is rare "disorder" that few people are aware of; but that isn't the case after reading Cruel Deception by Gregg Olson.
MSBP, even today, is difficult to prosecute for lack of evidence. In Cruel Deception, Olson relays the tale of Iowa prosecutors who worked diligently to convict Tanya Reid for MSBP....in the mid-80s!! Their efforts, as detailed in this book, were impressive; especially consider this a pre-internet era!
Cruel Deception is riveting from beginning to end. I especially enjoyed the manner in which Olson tells us of a "devestating secret" that will be revealed at trial ONLY if Tanya Reid testifies. And that secret is well worth waiting for!
Once again Gregg Olson has produced a piece of written work that keeps him on my top ten list of favorite true crime writers!
great read about an awful woman.......2007-02-09
excellent read,well written. My heart ached for these kids. Well worth the readers time and money. Very informative and may educate people.
An absolute page-turner.......2006-09-05
I just reread this book and was delighted to find it was just as good on the fourth or fifth read as it was the first time. This true account of a Munchausen by proxy perpetrator is utterly fascinating. The author does a superb job of telling Morgan and Michael's stories from their mother's childhood to the inexorable conclusion. It is impossible to put down. I hope this page-turner educates people about the mysterious malady that MBP is and prevents other deaths in the future. Kudos, Mr. Olsen.
Cruel Deception.......2006-04-02
Wow, this mother in the book was truly troubled. To say the least!! To cause injury to your own child for the sole purpose of the fact that you need attention or you like the attention is really truly ill. The book baffled me to say the least, I'd only heard of cases of "Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy." I think the author describes it very well, but it's not too overly drawn out.
I could not believe what I was reading..........2005-07-12
It's been awhile since I've read a true crime book and I was a little skeptical after first looking at the "shocking pictures" that were just family photos. But I was pulled in by the idea that a mother could do such things to a child for attention. This was the first I had ever heard of Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy.
I'm not a mother but it was hard to swallow that a mother would be capable and in the beginning I found myself flip flopping until the evidence was so glaring there was no denying it. I found myself thinking of this book in my sleep.
It was sort of slow going until it was mentioned that a secret would be revealed at the trial. I was on the edge of my seat wondering what it could possibly be that was so far in her past, had she been abused? was she a victim of this very same abuse? Did she have more helpless victims?
I think Gregg Olsen did a great job of laying out the framework and the evidence but I think he could have focused more on the Reids than the prosecutor. At times it made me think he may have been a little soft for her with all the attention she was given in the book.
Overall, I think this book is a good read.

Book Description
"Bernhardt is a master legal tour guide, taking the reader through the labyrinth of the judicial system of America's heartland."
--Mostly Murder
Ben Kincaid is not a superstar attorney. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, there are only a few lawyers who win headlines and big bucks. So when the notorious Apollo Consortium offers Ben a job as their in-house counsel, he takes it--for the money.
The violence in the streets outside the Apollo is nothing compared to the backstabbing politics of the firm. And when Ben wins his first case, he unwittingly sets up some bitter rivalry with his colleagues--rivalry that will culiminate in a fellow lawyer's dead body and Ben charged with murder.
"Ben Kincaid is a refreshing change from the omniscient, holier-than-thou attorney/investigators whose courtroom acrobatics and aerial law displays are more show than substance."
--Tulsa World
Customer Reviews:
Great light reading.......2003-12-10
First of all let me warn you, the reading in the books in this series is similar to the one in Perry Mason. So don't expect any masterfully created plots or intricate characters.
On the other side, Bernhardt is very good at to what I think he tries to achieve with his books. You can read this book quickly and have a very enjoyable time. Also, the characters are likable and you will probably find yourself reading all the book in the series. The big plus I find compared to Perry Mason is the great humor moments in some of the books (this one included).
Finally, if you are going to give it a try I recommend you start with the first book in the series (Blind Justice) since they have certain continuity going.
Give me a break.......2002-03-20
This is the second William Bernhardt novel I read; MURDER ONE was my first. I applaud Mr. Bernhardt for all the charity work he has done in the last few years by editing projects like LEGAL BRIEFS and NATURAL SUSPECT whose proceeds go to charity. I am sorry that this novel in his JUSTICE series does not have my praise.
Ben Kincaid is lured from his private practice to work for the Apollo Consortium. He is supposed to be very smart but no matter how smart he cannot see that he is being set up to take a fall. Second, he finds a 'dead' body in his office, leaves for five minutes and then the body disappears. I will not spoil it for those who have not read this book but farfetched does not even cover it. The dead body was a member of something called 'The Kindergarten Club' which is related to a rash of murders ocuring in Kincaid's town of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
At the end of the novel, just like Jessica Fletcher, he solves every piece of the puzzle and yet he took his time in finding out that he was being treated like a fool at his new firm. Thank goodness this was not a permanent predicament. I hope that there are better JUSTICE novels in his series.
DEADLY IS RIGHT ON!!!!!!.......2002-01-17
This it the third book in this series. I think it may be the best one yet, even though I enjoyed the first two. The back cover is very misleading. Ben finds a dead body, or was it, before his first case is decided and he is never charged with murder. Ben has joined at big law firm and left his private practice. Ben was in a big firm before and left it in one of the other books. He joins this one for the money. The firm is true of many today with the suck ups and people brown noseing all the time. A fellow Attorney does turn up dead, also "ladies of the evening" are being found dead. Could the two be connected??? Ben works with his friend and ex-brother in law, Mike Morelli to find the killer. He uses all his people from his private practice to help him, Christina McCall, Jones and Loving. Will he stay at the new firm or go back to private practice? Will they find the killer before he strikes again? A good read. I found myself just scanning pages at the end so I could find out how it ended. A surprise or two at the end. Hard to put the book down. Am looking forward to the next one.
Great book!.......1998-06-27
This book was so good I couldn't put it down. I read it in just a few hours.

Great storyline!.......2002-11-19
I just finished reading Kenneth Clarke's book,"Deadly Justice".
I was pleased to see the innovative way in which he treats the female characters in his story. They are intelligent and have a savvy edge to them. I also like the fact that he chose to set his story in Dallas instead of Los Angeles, where many mystery books seem to be these days. Great work! I'm looking forward to the next one!
Something, fresh for a change.......2002-10-24
Finally,a story which proves murder can happen
anywhere. The fact that female characters
are shown in a good light and the main
characters work together, made the book an
interesting read for me. The editing
could have been better.

Deception Well is a powerful planet, able to fend off the deadly nanotech plagues of an age-old war, but also hostile to the would-be settlers who have come here seeking safe haven. After building the orbital city Silk, the first colonists of the Well were killed by a mysterious plague. The new Silkens refuse to descend to the planet's surface, except for Jupiter and his rebel forces who are seeking a communion with the planet. Although Jupiter fails, his cult-like followers take up the cause again with his son Lot, a natural-born leader who might not be so natural after all.

Thoughtful extrapolation + good storytelling. 4.5 stars.......2003-12-28
There's a fine story here, but the plot-outline I read put me off, so I'll
start with the backstory: 3,000 yrs have passed since "Bohr Maker" (her
1st novel). Humanity has spread thru much of the galaxy, but
interstellar contact is limited to sublight ships. There are dreadful
Chenzeme war machines loose, still fighting the war which destroyed
that species long ago. Much of humanity lives in the Hallowed Vasties
- huge Dyson-spheres. Nanotechnology permeates everyday life, and
permits people to live for centuries.
The novel is set on Silk, a sealed habitat atop a space elevator on the
strange & isolated world of Deception Well. Silk was resettled by
refugees from Heyertori, a world sterilized by a rogue Chenzeme swan
burster. The city was deserted when they arrived, but full of human
bones. The refugees thought the Old Silken were killed by a plague
from the planet. They sealed off the beanstalk and live in comfort, but
supplies are running low & they have no way to leave - they were
dumped after a contract dispute with their sentient greatship.
Silk is attacked by followers of the prophet Jupiter, who believe they
can attain ecstatic Communion on the planet's surface. Many of the
cultists are killed, apparently including Jupiter. His son Lot survives,
and the surface of the novel is Lot's struggle to accept his father's
legacy, and to discover the true nature of the Deception Well.
The novel is a fine combination of top-notch tech-speculation and
traditional storytelling. It has a couple of sags that could have been cut,
but I'm nitpicking. If you haven't yet tried Linda Nagata, "Deception
Well" would be an excellent place to start. Nagata's website at www.maui.net/~nagata
is also worth checking out. IIRC it
has a sample chapter of "DW".
Happy reading!

A very slow read.......2000-09-01
Given the Helpful/Not Helpful ratings of previous posts, Ms. Nagata seems to have fans who will punish any dissent, but dissent I must.
I am giving this book an average rating because I liked it but it has serious flaws. First and foremost, was an extremely slow, laborious read. Her characters were moderately interesting but they did not really grow or change in any significant fashion. For all his introspection, not even Lot changes so much as he moves around and lets events dictate what will happen to him. Urban's big surprise decision at the end was uetterly predictable since his character moved not one iota the entire novel. Other majour characters seem to act capriciously or randomly; one minute they're going one way, the other they've reversed themselves and while Lot seems to have a clue why (we are told anyway), Nagata never makes it terribly clear to us.
So, too the very creative society Nagata has envisioned. I found it intriguing, but it was so diffusely and haphazardly described that I never felt terribly invested in the conflicts that arose from it. And therein, perhaps lies the real problem with the book. The setting, concepts and central idea are all marvelous but the execution is second-rate. The real conflict arises so much from the setting, and so little from deep and convincing characterization, that Nagata is forced, again and again, to assert that events make sense or that a character's actions are reasonable - but I rarely felt that way simply from reading what happened. A truly great book would not need so much explanation and assertion.
I really had a hard time "getting into" this book even after I was halfway through it - so much so that, when I took it on a plane, I bought another book to read in flight because this one was too difficult to read steadily. Still, I liked the book. As an intellectual exercise, it was plenty interesting. It is written intelligently and fairly sparkles with the kind of imagination and creativity about ideas, cultures and settings that marks the very best SF produced today. The problem is, that isn't enough to set it above so much other quality work being produced.
In short: I won't hesitate to recommend that you buy and read this book if you have some free time, but if time constraints limit you to only reading the best, you'd be best served by looking elsewhere.
By the end I didn't care anymore........2000-07-18
When I first started reading this book I had some hope that it would be an interesting story with interesting characters. By the third chapter I had an idea that I had been wrong. By the fifth I was sure. The book's pace is unbelievably slow, and the characters are unconvincing, as is most of the plot-line (what little there is). The society the author has created is poorly formed and very sketchy. The author also has an annoying habit of leaving physical descriptions out, or even worse not describing something until chapters later when the reader already has a completely different mental image formed. The robot (or whatever it was) Ord, is a perfect example. Another problem I had with the book is the lack of logic behind many of the plot points and character behaviors. The character or Kona for example; If he is so concerned about what Lot might do, particularly under the influence of Kona's son Urban why hasn't he (or any of the other character's) done anything to keep Urban away from Lot? Considering Lot's situation in the beginning I wouldn't think that would be too hard. The whole development of Lot's character is a little hard to swallow anyway, but unlike the rest of the characters at least he has some (and I do mean some) development. When the reader finally reaches the end it is anticlimactic. It was bad enough spending the major part of the book feeling I had been dropped into a story that had already begun, but at the end I felt I was left with out a real conclusion. But looking back over the story I don't know what could have concluded it satisfactorily when it had so little cohesion as a story to begin with.
Excellent, but complicated book.......1999-08-25
I really liked this book. It had action right from the start but the plot took a long time to become clear and there are multiple clashes going on simultaneously. A planet that assimilates everything and a sattelite city up in the clouds where millions live and have problems of their own. And mammoth ships and weapons of destruction which are sentient beings. I thought it was Nagata's best book yet.
Blah!.......1999-06-24
I've just finished reading Mrs Nagata's Deception Well and I'm absolutely disgusted with myself for buying it. I mean, this must be the worst book I've read since... come to think of it, I can't remember any other novel that left me such a bad impression.
I'd like to be able to say something positive about it, but I can't. Even the artwork is sloppy! (I would have rated DW 0 star, only you can't.) As for the content, the hero, name of Lot (ring a bell?) grieves the death of his father/prophet/god, named Jupiter (of course, Yaweh would have been a bit obvious, wouldn't it ?). For reasons which are totally impossible to understand for anybody but Mrs Nagata, he takes about 200 pages to get himself ready to descend into the well where his father disappeared. (Yes, there's this well, see, only we don't know how it came to be or why - pretty convenient, in fact.) Anyway, Lot and his friends go down and, when they arrive, they discover that they have to go back up presto. When they do, the novel ends. Wow! Talk about an intricate storyline!
Well, that's about it. The characters are all one-dimensional, and the only thing that the reader discovers along the way is that the poor humans are persecuted by a race of mysterious aliens, the Chemzene (and the only thing we now about them is that nobody's even sure they ever existed - talk about mysterious, people!).
That sums it up, really. More than lives up to its French title (in French, "déception" means disappointment - and as for the disappointment, well... DW delivers in spades!).
Maybe the book should have been titled "Dejection Well"...
Product Description
This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSON AFB OH SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A351324. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The Air Force and the rest of the Department of Defense rely on valid information to make National Security decisions. The veracity of the information used to make those decisions can dramatically affect which course of action our military will take. Therefore, it is important that our leaders be able to recognize if they are being deceived. This study examines the results of training five categories of deception cues to 190 Air Force Officers. The officers were tested to determine their baseline deception detection abilities, then trained on the deception cues, Arousal, Emotion, Cognitive Effort, Communicator Tactics, and Memory Processes, then retested to determine how much information they retained. The results of this study show that there is a return on the investment in training deception detection for at least four of the deception cues.
