What are the motifs in Visions of Sugar Plums by Janet Evanovich?

Although Stephanie isn't a very good bounty hunter, she always finds ways to get the fugitive. Stephanie has many resources on which to draw. There is Joe Morelli and other members of the Trenton Police Department, Ranger, Stephanie's mentor; Lula, the gun toting ex-prostitute turned file clerk; and Connie the indispensable office manager at the bail bonds company. Occasionally even Grandma Mazur lends a hand. In a small community like the 'Burg, there is always someone to call for help.
