'Evanovich, author of the wonderful Stephanie Plum novels, is a clever writer with a strong streak of laugh out loud sardonic humour.' -- Melbourne Weekly 20060626 'Nearly 300 pages of hoot-inducing entertainment.' -- Sun Herald, Australia 20060830 'A hilarious, machine gun-paced crime caper featuring bounty hunter and doughnut devotee Stephanie Plum. It's clever, slick, funny and fun, with a cast of highly likeable, albeit mostly loopy characters and a full speed- ahead plot... TWELVE SHARP is pure gold.' -- Sunday Morning Post, Australia 20060830
