One for the Money

Summary: My boyfriend hates it, I adore it.
Review: Stephanie Plum's first days as a bounty hunter are knitten in the stuff nightmares are made of...but it is also the stuff post-gulf war everyday life of almost all single ladies above twenty-nine is made of ! Well, this is a book about how not to get married to some stupid guy thanks to your mother's desperate efforts to find you a proper husband, how not to surrender to stupid job offers as a secretary to your uncle's cousin's father-in-law, not to get shot by your grandma - who is nuts - not to be raped by some ugly sex-offender, etc. It is a book about how to try to earn your favourite pet hamster's living, take a revenge on the sexy guy who broke your heart when you were a teenager...and spend some very good raining evenings with a hilarious crime novel!

Summary: Very enjoyable reading if you like Grafton et. al.,
Review: If you live in Trenton, NJ, you may recognize the landscape in the background. I don't and didn't. However the main character is vibrant and alive, and very life-like. I enjoyed it enough to buy Book 2. Evanovitch is one of the authors I look for now.

Summary: Ready for a 90's mystery with plenty of amusing situations?
Review: The titles for this trilogy and their cover presentations definitely sparked my attention. The librarian told me I would be laughing out loud and that I did! One For The Money's Stephanie Plum made me realize "when the going gets tough. . .DEAL WITH IT!" She certainly did with much entertainment. -J. Barret

Summary: Fast paced and Stimulating!
Review: Evanovich's first of three books featuring Stephanie Plumb - Bounty Hunter is fast movining and riveting. Realistic problems face this lost female searching for identity while earning an income. Facing criticism from family, Plumb "gears up" with the able bodied assistance of a he-man bounty hunter and finds herself amidst adventure and fear. Great summer reading

Summary: Just like chocolate: can't (read) eat just one
Review: What a fun experience to read a book where the characters are rounded and realistic. Our Heroine, Stephanie Plum has bad hair days, slouchy clothes (not always designer lines) and a quirky job she happens to fall into. The pages turn quickly and the last page leaves you wanting more. Thankfully, Ms. Evanovich has a couple more after "One for the Money", but she must write faster to satisfy me! Stephanie Plum gets downsized at a lingerie factory. Her family "encourages" her to seek employment from her cousin Vinnie, a bail bondsman who needs a file clerk. Stephanie ends up on his payroll, but as a bounty hunter not a file clerk. Her adventures send her all around the "burg" in Trenton, New Jersey. The results are exploding, tense, empathetic and all around fun. Send us more Janet

Summary: Suspense, Mystery, Passion, and Humor!
Review: Stephanie Plum is a person with character. She loses her job, sells some of her belongings and this is when she decides to become a bounty hunter. Through trial and error Stephanie learns the ropes of bounty hunting. The relationship that goes on between Stephanie and Joe Morelli, who she is trying to bring in for jumping bail, is refreshing and funny. Must read book that will have you hooked on the Stephanie Plum series!

Summary: VERY ENTERTAINING MYSTERY
Review: I read this book because of the reviews right here at Amazon and wasn't disappointed. I've just started to read her second book, "Two for the Dough" and hope that it's as good as the first. To go from lingerie salesperson to bounty hunter is quite a jump, and Stephanie does it with humor and passion. I related to her selling her "stuff" just to survive - been there, done that. But her resilience was something the "weaker sex" should be proud of. GO GIRL!

Summary: what a lot of fun!!
Review: Read it! Stephanie Plum is a delight. I really did laugh at loud at this not-to-perfect heroine. It was refreshing to read about a character with real-life problems such as having to sell odds and ends to pay off bills. The grandmother character is a genuine hoot. I want more. Thanks Janet for a great read
