Watch out, world. Here comes Stephanie Plum, a bounty hunter with attitude in the bestselling debut mystery that earned Janet Evanovich nominations for the Edgar, Anthony, Agatha, Shamus, and Macavity awards. She's a product of the "burg," a blue-collar pocket of Trenton where houses are attached and narrow, cars are American, windows are clean, and (God forbid you should be late) dinner is served at six.

In Stephanie's opinion, toxic waste, rabid drivers, armed schizophrenics, and August heat, humidity, and hydrocarbons are all part of the great adventure of living in Jersey. Out of work and out of money, with her Miata repossessed and her refrigerator empty, Stephanie blackmails her bail bondsman cousin into giving her a try as an apprehension agent. Stephanie knows zilch about the job requirements, but she figures she can learn what it takes to catch a crook. Her first assignment: nail a former vice cop on the run from a charge of murder one -- who also happens to be the irresistible macho pig who took Stephanie's virginity at age sixteen. There's still powerful chemistry between these two, so the chase could be as interesting as it is dangerous.

Witty, fresh, and full of surprises, One for the Money is a dazzling introduction to a sleuth you'll be hearing from again.

  • Fun book

    I wasn't sure if this was a book I would love and ended up liking it. I won't say I loved it but it was light and enjoyable. I will read a few more in this series because I did like what I read but I won't be doing complete backflips over them. All in all it was a fast and light read.

  • I found another one in the Stephanie Plum series that I haven't read. I also borrowed 2 more from the library. I totally love this series... The books are so witty, and different. Highly recommended.

  • First in the Series - Stephanie Plum

    Okay, it's official - I am not a Stephanie Plum fan. I tried. I started the seventh book a while back, couldn't get into it, figured maybe it was because I didn't start at the beginning, so I picked this one up at the library.

    I've been hearing wonderful things about this series and this book (the only one I've read in this series so far) definitely lives up to all the hype.
