Summary: I LIKE Stephanie Plum....she's a keeper!
Review:

I just discovered Janet Evanovich's alter ego, Stephanie Plum, but I feel like I've known her all my life!

Stephanie's sassy, a bit brassy, and not at all afraid to speak her mind. She can hold her own with Kinsey, Kay, VI, and the rest of the hard-boiled fictional females.

I laughed out loud in many places and found myself unable to put the book down until Stephanie and Joe Morelli were out of the woods.

I have ordered the other three Plum books and look forward to more adventures in the burg. And, unlike Grafton, Evanovich will never run out of numbers!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I never knew of Janet Evanovich now I am hooked.
Review: I was only interested in Dean Koontz, Graham Masterton and V.C.Andrews (horror books), I am a devoted fan, now Janet Evanovich is on the top of my list. I started reading One For The Money and ran out to buy the next 2, as soon I finish her first 3 books I will look for the paperback of Four To Score, her 4th and buy it. She is a terrific writer, I have been taking over an hour for lunch in my office, reading her book.You just can't put it down, you get caught in the middle of the scenes as if you were present. I am hooked to Ms. Plum's adventures and its fun. You will feel the same way too, once your start to read her books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun, Easy to Read
Review: I never laughed so much during a book. I really loved this book and can not wait to read the rest of her books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not a book to start on a work night
Review: Don't know why I picked up *One For The Money* when I saw it (and the next two) at the bookstore, but after reading the blurbs, I bought them all. Hey, a heroine from my birth state! (Can't call it my home state because the Air Force moved us six months later.) She's expected at her parental abode for the occasional dinner [beats microwave frozen] and has to expect advice with the food... Her Grandma is even more eccentric than my late Granny was... Taking on a job for which she has no experience because she's got to have the cash [God forbid you should move back home]... Sounded as if the book could be funny -- and it is. I felt for poor Stephanie as she got her on-the-job training the hard way, but that didn't stop me from laughing. The byplay between Ms. Plum and Joe Morelli is the highlight of the book. (The revenge she took at 19 for Joe taking her virginity at 16 was too rough for real life but very amusing for fiction.) The scenes with them (especially! ! the conversation after Ms. Plum wore her "slut outfit") help lighten a story that has some very ugly customers. One is a sadistic sicko. I'm glad he's not real -- I don't have to feel guilty for spending much of the book hoping someone would blow him away. I stayed up too late to finish this book last night and I'm paying for it today, but it was worth it. Ann E. Nichols

Summary: Read One and you'll want to read more......
Review: Stephanie Plum is clever, street wise, has a terrific and sarcastic sense of humor; she eats junk food and makes mistakes. It was almost 5 star extertainment except I figured out who-dunnit about mid-way through the book but the interactions between the characters still kept my interest so I finished the book and plan to read two..and three..and four..and.........

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: excellent book!
Review: It's great to discover a new writer, and I can't wait to dig into all the other books she's written in this sewries with Stephanie Plum. She's an excellent craftsman (excuse me, craftsperson), surely knows the ins and outs of writing in first person, has a funny streak, and develops her characters much like Robert Parker. Not bad company to be in for any mystery writer. Thumb's up for this first book in the series. Hope the rest are as good!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful!!!!
Review: This is one of the best series on the market. I've read the second and third as well and can't wait for the fourth one to arrive (I ordered it the other day). Stephanie Plum is my kind of heroine!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Don't pass this one up!
Review: I started laughing after the first sentence and only stopped after finishing the last page. Janet Evanovich's naritive style will keep you entertained and wanting more. A real page turner. Read this first Stephanie Plum mystery and you will be hooked for life.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantabulous!!!
Review: If you like laughter with your mystery, this is the author for you. Having read her writing since she wrote for the Loveswept line it is wonderful to see her get the recognition that she deserves.
