I loved every minute of this gem. Lula and Stephanie find that a mystery woman is stalking Stephanie with intent to kill. She claims she is Ranger's wife, and Ranger is mysteriously unreachable. The Hilarity volume rises as the new owners of the town funeral parlor are introduced to Grandma Mazur. I was wary that Janet Evanovich might be running out of material and situations to write about, but she cooked up a goodie in this one!

So glad to be back with Stephanie Plum again. This book is definitely worthy of the franchise and if you want to hang with Stephanie again, this is the way to do it! We learn more about Ranger in the process.

All fluff. A three evening read. Always enjoyable. Everytime I think this will be the last one, Evanovich must be out of ideas for Stephanie. Twelve Sharp was still the same book as the others, yet different enough that I didn't say "Bah!" and put it down.

Twelve Sharp is yet another laugh outloud book by Janet Evanovich. Stephanie Plum (bounty hunter from New Jersey) tries to bring back her cousin Vinnie's bonds while she's looking for Ranger who seems to have disappeared. If you've read the previous 11 books in the series don't miss this one as it has lots of funny episodes with her partner Lula and her wacky family.

Another great Plum read! I absolutely love the heat between Stephanie, Ranger, and Morelli. I wish I was frustrated woman in that love triangle!!
I Loved this book!!! It is one of my favorites!!
The Stephanie Plum series is hilarious. Janet Evanovich combines mystery, insanity, romance, action and a dose of family for a great ride every time. I'm not too much into series' but J.E. is on top of her game.
Love this series. Great easy reads with lots of entertainment.
Gotta love Stephanie Plum
Great summer read If you like lots of action, laughs and a little sex thrown in!
Book 12 in the Stephanie Plum series will keep you up at night reading! I laughed, I cried, and it left me waiting (on pins and needles) for book 13. Fun, crazy read.
Love all Stephanie's adventures
You go GURL!!!
Stephanie is back at it. Trouble always seems to find this girl and antics ensue. Santa Claus, toy making elves and a struggling rock band make this one of the funniest of the Plum stories yet!
HARDCOVER. From Publishers Weekly: "The mixture of slapstick and gunplay that has put Evanovich's series about a sassy, less than competent New Jersey bounty hunter at the top of bestseller lists once again works its magic in Stephanie Plum's latest caper (after 2005's Eleven on Top). Stephanie, who freely admits her failings as a hunter of fugitives, faces a growing work backlog that threatens the continued existence of her job. Her clumsy efforts to clear some cases, along with the help of her outrageous colleague, Lula, result only in their adding another sad sack to the office payrolla forlorn shoe salesman who's talked off a ledge by Stephanie's offer of a position as file clerk. Stephanie's ambivalence toward the two men in her life becomes harder to maintain when one of them, the mysterious Ranger, is accused of kidnapping his own daughter. Countless over-the-top scenes, including one at a funeral parlor, will delight longtime fans."

Excellent Plum book
Fun,mystery,romance and suspense
I love the Stephanie Plum books. Each one is better than the last and this one is no exception. Loved it!
All of Janet Evanovich books are great to listen too. Light and easy to focus on during the commute to work.
This is by far my favorite book of the series so far. Finally we get to focus in on the life of Ranger (somewhat) and learn a little about him. Twelve Sharp had all of the action, drama and laughs that keep me reading Janet Evanovich's Plum series. Great read!
Janet Evanovich does it again. I love her sense of humor. This book will not disappoint!
Stephanie Plum series are a hoot. Each one is so much fun. You don't have to read them in order to enjoy them, but once you read one you will want to read more. Great read. Loved it.
Great read! I will read more of her books now.
Great book... great series
This is a hilarious series of funny storied books. I read one book and then had to find them all.
Unfortunately Janet doesn't know how to turn on the heat for the romantic side of her stories... and how come Stephanie is never compensated for her losses, and is always just an out of luck victim?? Her new brother in law could be suing these guys for her.

Great book. I couldn't put it down!
Another awesome Evanovich book!
I love these characters and book 12 is a great story. Helps you get invested in Stephanie's relationships.
Hilarious!
I have never read any of Janet's other books, but someone had given this book to me. I couldn't put it down. It had a good story and kept me very interested. Lots of action and mystery!
Suspense! Holy cow Batman! Crazy all the twists and turns of this one! For her arch nemesis Joyce to be second fiddle to the man trying to impersonate Ranger! Poor Morelli! Holy it just got real personal! Two alpha males after the same female, Steph also gets a psycho Ranger wanna be who kidnaps his actual daughter and constructs an entire life with them, so Ranger's gotta die!
I still enjoy the Plum books but this was not one of her best. I bought the hardback and wish I had waited for the paperback.
Another great book in this series! Will she fall for Ranger or Joe??
What can be said about Stepanie Plum excdept that it is a fun read. It has you laughing one minute and on edge the next.
Not sure why this doesn't show up in the system because it is the latest Stephanie Plum book...laugh out loud good as usual for Evanovich.
One of my best friends turned me on to this author. She is witty. Not my favorite, but its good.
Loved it! Can't wait to read Thirteen!!
I really liked this one. It definitely had an interesting twist to the typical "Bad FTA guy goes after Stephanie.
Well, I like that we get to learn a little more about Ranger in this installment. He has a crazy man impersonating him that has kidnapped his daughter and Ranger needs a little help from Stephanie. I was not as happy to see that Stephanie was back to being a bounty hunter full time. I really did enjoy seeing her rely more on her smarts in book 11. Of course, she wasn't really relying on luck as much in this one as usual, so I can't complain too much. Overall, I enjoyed it and I look forward to reading number 13.
The latest in the Stephanie Plum series. Janet Evanovich just keeps getting better and better. If you like your mysteries mixed with belly-laughs, you'll love this book.
Love this series!
Loved it! One of the funniest in the series with less blood & guts but plenty of suspense.
I wonder how long she will be able to string out two men....
I have been working my way through the Stephanie Plum series, & I have to say, though I enjoyed each & every one of them, THIS ONE is by far the funniest. I chuckled, laughed out loud & guffawed at some of her descriptions & actions - I even had to read it out loud to my husband, and then he said he wanted to read the book! You cannot miss this one!
I enjoy this series!
Another awesome book! I read it last year in Hardback and swapped it, just read it again in PB!
This series is great. I write that everytime I finish one of these books! This one had a little more suspense than others, but still hilariously funny with Grandma, Lula and Sally still up to the crazy stunts and hey there i a new funeral director in town also a hoot! Start from book one and keep reading the fun never ends.
Another great book about Stephanie Plum GREAT SERIES!
the 12th in the Stephanie Plum series which continues to entertain in the usual fashion, witty as ever. You'll love this character.
As always, I enjoyed this book thoroughly. I was afraid it would be boring, since it's part of the Stephanie Plum series and I wondered how much longer she could go on with the situations she runs into, but Janet Evanovich did not let me down. This story had a good balance of romance, excitement and humor and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Fun! Lots of suspence,crazy characters,&confusion of course.
What can I say, it just gets better and better. Twelve Sharp is one of my favorites out of the series. I was glued. I really liked how we got to know Ranger a bit more in this one.
I absolutely love Stephanie Plum. Can't wait for Lean Mean Thirteen!
Excellent and very funny! Brings the same wit and sense of fun as the last 11 novels in the series. I would recommend it to any Stephanie Plum fan. Not to be missed!
Love the whole series. These books have made me laugh out loud at times. Truly pleasure reading.
Great book. I loved reading it.
If I need to tell you about Stephanie Plum & Morelli & Ranger, etc., then you need to start at the beginning of the series!
Janet Evanovich gets better every time!
This was by far my favorite book out of this series! Really, really intense and hilarious - all I can say is she better marry Morelli! Awesome book!
An enjoyable Stephanie Plum book. If you like the others, you will love all of the crazy characters again!
Another fun quick read by Evanovich!
Loved it, Loved it, Love it. Wish it had gone on longer. How on earth will I make through a whole year without Stephanie & crew? Come on, Number 13!!!
great book as always, I can't wait for the next one.
Great Evanovich! I can't get enough of her. I had to pace myself with "Twelve Sharp" knowing that it will be awhile before Stephanie rolls again.
If you are a fan of Stephanie Plum, you will not be disappointed! We get to see another side of Ranger that we have not seen in previous books! As always, a super fun read!
One of her better books in this series.
Read it in just a few hours....couldn't put it down, now I know more about "Ranger" and wanna know more!
Vintage Evanovich. Sent to me from another member. No cover.
This is the latest in the Stephanie Plum series. If you've read this far in the series, you know how much fun they are!
I love this series!

Wonderful story. My favorite of the series.
In a strange twist of fate, Stephanie has to help Ranger solve a mystery and rescue an innocent child. A great read. Some clues as to what her future holds and some sweet moments.
Thank God for Lula cuz even Gramma Mazur couldn't save this one!
Loved it! Another great book by Evanovich. Typical Plum series. Found myself laughing out loud!!
Thought this one was rather boring.
Ranger has moved in with Stephanie...another good one. Can't wait for #13.
This books flewwwwwww by - seemed a bit too short but had the usual light-hearted sections and hardcore danger. The big crime in this book revolves around Ranger again, so this causes tension for Stephanie's relationship with Morreli as she investigates stuff out of her area of expertise and involving his competition. Less annoying Bob the dog in this book, but plenty of Grandma Mazur and Lulu.
WONDERFUL, but then again what Evanovich book isn't.
Evanovich is back in form. Can't wait for 13
Once again, Janet has written a great book about Stephanie Plum! This one keeps you on the edge of your seat as to what will happen with the two men in her life. Already looking forward to her next book, which I hopes comes sooner than later!
Great book in the series.. Stephanie causes mayhem everywhere she goes.. and you always wonder will she chose between Ranger or Joe?
Another fabulous chapter in the comedy that is Stephanie Plum's life...
I loved it. Great stuff. Diggin it.
Devoured this one in a day! I adore Ranger more and more with every new book. *swoon* ;-)
I love Evanovich, but this latest installment into the adventures of hap-hazard Stephanie Plum was not one of her better ones.
Love this series. I can sum it up in one word. RANGER!!!! LOL
If you love Stephanie Plum, it's another great one. Typical and enjoyable right to the end.
God I LOVE HER
I love this series! This time the drama impacts someone very close to Stephanie. You won't be able to put this one down!
another great Stephanie Plum adventure!
So many men, so little time. Another enjoyable read!!
Finally Stephanie is back to her old tricks, but this time she has to rescue Ranger...
another great book I loved it
not her best but definitely a stefanie plum story
I had been growing tired of the "Stephanie Plum" books but this one brought some new life into the series by adding some unexpected danger to the character of Ranger.
Funny,a great read!!
As always this was a good laugh. I am really starting to feel like I'm reading the same book over and over but I still enjoy them.
Classic Stephanie Plum mystery. I highly recommend.
Great book!! I hope Evanovich writes many more books for this series!
I think this is the best Stephanie Plumb book yet! I read this in one sitting, and LOVED it! I can't wait for the next one!
Her BEST Stephanie Plum book EVER!!!! Will "Lucky Thirteen" be even better????? Who will she end up with? Morelli or Ranger???
This may be the best yet. I loved it.
This time Ranger is staying at Stephanie's apartment. Oh my!
Grandma Mazur had me laughing til it hurt! Loved it!!
Excellent. I have not laughed so hard in a long time
Classic Plum! I couldn't read in bed because I kept chuckling. Grandma joins a band and Steph winds up with both boyfriends in her apartment!! Loved it.

Stephanie has another unforgettable adventure and another struggle with the old "Ranger Vs. Morelli" question. Loved it!
Ranger. Ranger. Ranger. Joe's awfully good in this one too, but Mmmm Ranger.
Another good one! However, I would not recommend it if you have not read others in the sequence.
Another great story by Evanovich. First a stranger appears claiming to be Rangers wife....don't want to give away any more.
Not as laugh out loud funny as the other Plum novels but this one is chock full of Ranger YUMMMMMMMMMMM :-)
Another great Stephanie Plum adventure.
Excellent!
I just LOVE this series! Ms. Plum is once again up to her ears in wacko adventures and is still kinda torn between Morelli & Ranger. Fast paced, funny, and just plain fun!
A woman calling herself Carmen Manoso says she is Ranger's wife, and is stalking Stephanie. The adventure begins! Can Stephanie give up on loving both Ranger and Morelli? Can she keep from blowing up a car this time? Loved this book, and can't wait til the next one!
more fun with Stephanie & company
True Steph story. Definitely worth the read!
Another fantastic Stephanie Plum book. Only complaint is that it could have been longer.

Great book - lots of adventure. Can't beat Stephanie Plum for making a person laugh. I woke my husband laughing at Grandma Mazer and her antics. I regret that I could not find the exact ISBN for this book anywhere in the system...but it is the same book and cover.
Great addition to the series. Loads of Morelli and Ranger too which always makes for a great read.
Great one as always from Evanovich! Anxiously awaiting #13!
I thougt this was one of the best books in the series!
Once again, a book that I can't put down. I can't wait for her next.
A friend gave me this book, it isn't the typical kind of book that I read, but I enjoyed it and laughed all the way from Dallas to LA!! Good humor and funny story. Will be going back to read the others in the series.

Stephanie's at it again! Another hysterical adventure for her and her friends.
First book read by this author. Really enjoyed it. Had it read in 3 days.
Not the best Stephanie Plum book but a can't miss if you like the series.
Another great story in the Stephanie Plum series. I love these books and can't seem to stop reading them. I hope she doesn't stop writing them.
You can't beat the Plum series. Of all her series' this is my favorite, You can't help but want to meet Ranger and Morelli in person, their characters are so real. Love it!
Ranger...ranger...ranger.!!
The twelfth Stephanie Plum book and every one is better than the one before it. Just when you think Evanovich can't possibly come up with a new story line, she pulls it out and manages to give you the best laugh you've had in a long time. In this book Stephanie discovers that she's beeing stalked by a crazed woman. The woman dresses in black, carries a 9mm Glock and has a bad attitude and a mysterious connection to dark and dangeros Carlos Manoso - aka Ranger. Suddenly Stephanie and Ranger are working together to find a killer, rescue a missing child and stop a lunatic from raising the body count and at the same time keep vice cop and sometime live in lover Joe Morelli from breaking up their team.

Very good! Can't wait for the next Stephanie Plum book
Stephanie Plum is always entertaining and easy reading. Love this series.

"Twelve Sharp" is better than Number 11. Stephanie is still a bounty hunter and she still has two men in her life. The humor, sexual tension and danger are all mixed into this novel. A great afternoon escape.
Such a fun read!
Could not stop laughing. Love these books and can't wait to get the next one.
This is a fantastic novel and well worth the read. To date this is my favorite in the Stephanie Plum series. Action-packed, funny, and fully entertaining, I highly recommend this book.
We want more Janet!!!!Great book!!!!
Great book !
Excellent!
I love these books. Everyone in the stored gets funnier.
While chasing down the usual cast of miscreants and weirdos, Stephanie discovers that a crazed woman is stalking her. The woman dresses in black, carries a 9mm Glock, and has a bad attitude and a mysterious connection to dark and dangerous Carlos Manoso...street name, Ranger. The action turns deadly serious and Stephanie goes from hunting skips to hunting a murderer. Ranger needs Stephanie for more reasons than he can say. And now, the two are working together to find a killer, rescue a missing child, and stop a lunatic from raising the body count. When Stephanie Plum and Ranger get too close for comfort, vice cop Joe Morelli steps in. Will the ticking clock stop at the stroke of 12 or will a stranger in the wind find a way to stop Stephanie Plum...forever?
Awesome!
