All New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum has to do is bring in semi-retired bail jumper Eddie DeChooch. For an old man he's still got a knack for slipping out of sight...and raising hell. How else can Stephanie explain the bullet-riddled corpse in Eddie's garden? Who else would have a clue as to why two of Stephanie's friends suddenly vanished? For answers Stephanie has the devil to pay: her mentor, Ranger. The deal? He'll give Stephanie all the help she needs...if she gives him everything he wants.

As if things weren't complicated enough, Stephanie's just discovered her Grandma Mazur's own unmentionable alliance with Eddie. Add a series of unnerving break-ins, not to mention the bombshell revelation leveled by Stephanie's estranged sister, and Stephanie's ready for some good news. Unfortunately, a marriage proposal from Joe Morelli, the love of her life, isn't quite cutting it. And now, murder, a randy paramour, a wily mobster, death threats, extortion, and a triple kidnapping aside, Stephanie's really got the urge to run for her life.

I purchased this book as “new” it was not new, or if it was it was stored somewhere that it got wet. Still going to add it to my collection. Just utterly confused.

This installment highlights lots of changes for everyone. Stephanie goes through heck bringing in a mark. Sister Valerie is going through identity crisis. Stephanie's mom make a surprise decision. Stephanie must make up her mind about her own future, and who she wants to spend it with.

Seven Up has the usual cast of characters: Stephanie, of course, Morelli, Ranger, Lula, Vinnie, Connie, Grandma Muzar, Valerie, Stephanie’s sister who has decided to become a lesbian since her husband has left her for their babysitter, Mooner, Dougie, Bob the dog, and Rex the hamster,and a cast of dozens more. Add to the mix Eddie DeChooch, Stephanie’s latest “prey” as bounty hunter. Once again, a veritable roller coaster ride with plenty of action and laughs to keep you entertained. Another winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars The one that got away (again and again)
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2024

Eddie DeChooch is an old guy who can just barely see, is hard of hearing, and has a bad habit of shooting at people. He was arrested for smuggling cigarettes, and now he’s jumped bail. Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter, gets the job of bringing him in.

With all his infirmities, he should be an easy capture — but the slippery old guy keeps getting away. Sometimes gunfire is involved.

Besides having the fun of chasing and never catching DeChooch, Stephanie solves a couple of kidnappings, escapes death at the hands of a madwoman, and struggles with the questions of marrying Joe Morelli ( or not) and sleeping with Ranger ( or not).

In other words, this is the usual madcap sequence of misadventures in the life of Stephanie Plum. Love this series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Quite up to Par with Other Steph Plum Stories:
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2002

For some reason, I could not get as enthusiastic about number eight as I have about the other seven. It was a good story, but Stephanie seemed different in this one. She seemed more mature and not as happy-go-lucky, which dampened the story for me. All the characters seemed more subdued, and it is the outrageousness of them that has made the Stephanie Plum Series so enjoyable and such fun to read. I am still glad that I read it, I would not have missed it for the world, but I was a bit disappointed. However, even on her worst day, Janet Evanovich could not write a "bad" book! I am still looking forward with enthusiasm to numbers 9, 10, 11, 12, etc. I am not sure that bringing Valerie into the mix has helped the story lines. I can't exactly put my finger on the reason, but she doesn't do much for the stories, as far as I am concerned. I am sure someone else may feel differently, after all, it is a matter of opinion only and what turns me off may be just the aspect that pleases someone else.
I think the cooling off of the romance betweeen Stephanie and Joe
had a lot to do with the mood that Stephanie is in this volume also. She doesn't seem as happy, her mood is darker. But hey, life is not always a bed of roses, so maybe in the next book, something will happen to make Steph happy and gung ho again! I don't think that I like her being torn between Joe and Ranger either, being in a situation like that is enough to drag any of us down, I suppose. But that's just me. It is a stressful situation for a woman to be in love with two men, and so torn between them, and it makes me uneasy to even read about it! Anyway, I am glad that I read the book, and in a way it makes Stephanie more human, more real, because, as we all know, life has a way of throwing some curves at all of us occasionally, some gloom for everyone at times. One other thing that bothered me a bit was the fact that in volume 7, Mrs. Plum, Steph's mother, had decided to get out of the kitchen for a little while and take some classes to try for a nursing career, and then, it was not even mentioned again in this last one. I wish it had been explained in some way, not just dropped with no explanation. I don't care if she goes back to school or not, but I would have liked for it to be worked into the story and some reason given as to why she did not go through with it. I must admit that I did not laugh as much while reading this one but my advice is to read it anyway so you will know what Stephanie is having to deal with and work through in the next volume! I'm still looking forward to number 9!

4.0 out of 5 stars This series is my favorite sit com!
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2001

That last thing the world needs is another review of "Seven Up." However, after reading a number of reviews of this book, I do feel as though I have something to add to the mix.
This series reminds me of watching your favorite TV sitcom. When you turn on the TV, you know exactly what to expect...the same central core of characters in familiar surroundings. However, you know that no matter how many times you have seen these people sitting in their living room, somehow each week something will happen or a dialogue will ensue that will have you roaring with laughter. I feel the same way whenever I pick up a Stephanie Plum book.
For years, whenever someone would suggest I read this series, I always said that I didn't like funny mysteries. Finally succumbing to the pressure, I picked up the first book in the series. After reading it, I realized that the only way you can truly enjoy these books is if you give up the notion that they are mysteries. I find that the mystery is nothing but a backdrop for the antics of Stephanie Plum and the assorted off-center characters that are recurring characters and those that wander in and out of her life.
I thought that "Seven Up" was a fine addition to this very funny series. Just sitting here thinking about Bob the Dog brings a smile to my face. I also thought the introduction of Stephanie's sister and the exploration of her sexual identity was brilliantly funny. This is a classic example of the subtle humor that Evanovich weaves into her stories. I find this to be the perfect foil to the more slapstick and far from subtle humor that I associate with Grandma Mazur. There are those who say that Grandma Mazur is getting boring and predictable. Did we say the same thing about the Estelle Getty character in the "The Golden Girls," who to me is a Grandma Mazur clone?"
In the earlier books, another example of brilliant comedic writing is the description of the Buick belching its way down the street. At one time this vintage car, the size of a small tank, was my favorite character.
I don't know about you, but whenever I think of certain scenes in this book, I still find myself chuckling.
In closing, I can only say that if you liked any of the books in this series, you will not be disappointed in "Seven Up."

I thought I'd read all of the Stephanie Plum early novels, but must have missed this one. Sometimes I want a deep, intricately constructed story. Other times I want Stephanie, Morelli and Grandma Mazur. Crazy, predictable and belly laugh funny. Seven Up was all of those.

Septième aventure de Stephanie Plum et c'est toujours aussi drôle. Comme toujours, la mission de notre 'chasseuse' de primes s'annonce simple au départ, mais très vite entraîne son lot de complications et d'imprévus. On retrouve avec plaisir les personnages récurrents de la série: la famille et les amis de Stephanie. certes, certaines scènes ont un goût de déjà-vu dans les livres précédents, mais on prend un tel plaisir à la lecture que ça a finalement assez peu d'importance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Up there with the best

When I began reading my first Stephanie Plumb book [ One for the money ] I didn't know quite what to expect. However I very quickly discovered it was an absolute gem, and as I read more and more of Janet Evanovich's books about the misfit bounty hunter and as the characters evolved and became more and more interesting [ grandma Mazur is something else isn't she; likewise Lulu is one hell of a girl ] they got better and better, and I have now lost count of the times I have cried laughing aloud as I read them.

I'm now up to 'Seven Up' and a devoted 'Stephanie Plumb' fan.

Humour and crime stories may not be everyones cup of tea, but if these categories appeal to you [ and I asume they do, otherwise you would probably not be looking at this review in the first place ] and if you haven't already done so, all I can say is give Spephanie Plumb a go. But if you do, read them in sequence because the characters do evolve from book to book.

4.0 out of 5 stars The heroine is growing
Reviewed in Japan on December 1, 2002

In the seventh book, Stephanie Plum chases an ever-evasive old fiend in a white Cadillac. Two of the attractivenesses of this series are the unique company around Stephanie and the witty dialogue by her. We are not disappointed by this new volume.
The company is growing. The perfect sister Valerie and her children proves to be very human, and her torerant mother shows a tint of changing. She is growing too, not only as a bounty hunter but as a young woman seeking love.
They are not living in a static world but in a dynamic society. It means we cannot miss only one volume of her series.
