Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Janet Evan-ovich, inventor of the sassy-girl crime caper, has written over 18 novels and novellas featuring New Jersey bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum.

In this latest installment, set over a St Patrick's Day holiday, we find the ever youthful Stephanie torn between the attentions of Joe Morelli, the cute Trenton cop who's been pursuing her since high school, and Diesel, a muscle bound undercover agent who "smells like everything a woman wants ... sex and fresh-baked cookies and a hint of Christmas."

The plot - involving Plum's slot-playing grandma, a midget and a bag full of mafia money – may not be the novel's strongest suit, but Evanovich's motor-mouth dialogue remains an eye-watering delight.
