ONE FINE MESS
Welcome to Trenton, New Jersey, home to wiseguys, average Joes, and Stephanie Plum, who sports a big attitude and even bigger money problems (since losing her job as a lingerie buyer for a department store). Stephanie needs cash-fast-but times are tough, and soon she's forced to turn to the last resort of the truly desperate: family...
ONE FALSE MOVE
Stephanie lands a gig at her sleazy cousin Vinnie's bail bonding company. She's got no experience. But that doesn't matter. As does the fact that the bail jumper in question is local vice cop Joe Morelli. From the time he first looked up her dress to the time he first got into her pants, to the time Steph hit him with her father's Buick, M-o-r-e-l-l-i has spelled t-r-o-u-b-l-e. And now the hot guy is in hot water-wanted for murder...
ONE FOR THE MONEY
Abject poverty is a great motivator for learning new skills, but being trained in the school of hard knocks by people like psycho prizefighter Benito Ramirez isn't. Still, if Stephanie can nab Morelli in a week, she'll make a cool ten grand. All she has to do is become an expert bounty hunter overnight-and keep herself from getting killed before she gets her man...
"Evanovich is funny and ceaselessy inventive."
-"Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Evanovich's writing is smooth, clever and laugh-aloud. Her plot isingenious and fresh, her dialogue breezy, bright, witty, and gutsy."

    THERE ARE SOME MEN who enter a woman's life and screw it up forever. Joseph Morelli did this to me not forever, but periodically.

    Read in one day.. and loved it.

    And Morelli.. let's face it, he's simply AWESOME!

    The 106 pages slid through my fingers and I can't wait to keep reading Stephanie's adventure.
    Maybe too many times she's a little bit too lucky, but she'll be learning the job.. I hope!

  • Horrible!

    I was expecting a fanny crime-chicklit and instead I started reading a silly story of a silly woman of whom I knew bra size after the first couple of pages... I was not looking for something serious but this one is on the edge of being ridiculous...

    My review: After numerous suggestions from a co-worker I downloaded Janet Evanovich’s One for the Money. This is of course, the first novel in the Stephanie Plum series. I know, I’m way behind since this was originally published in 1994 in print and then in 2000 on audiobook. Actually, behind is an understatement.

    Stephanie Plum has lost her job as a lingerie buyer and subsequently lost her car, most of her furniture and left her with an almost empty refrigerator. Her one friend through it all, her hamster Rex. I’m glad she loves her hamster. I had one back in the day that was possessed by the devil. Mine would rattle the bars on it’s cage and manage to get the door up and get out in the middle of the night. After numerous escapes, his life was cut short when the kitty wanted to play. RIP Frankie.

    And now, back to the regularly scheduled review…

    Stephanie has been grabbing a few good meals at her parents house and finally confesses to being in a bind. On her dad’s suggestion, she goes to see her cousin Vinnie, a bail bondsman. She originally set out to take a filing job, sitting behind a desk, but after talking with the receptionist, she manages to blackmail her cousin into making more cash, much faster. She’s an “apprehension agent”. Yup, girl’s got a gun.

    Stephanie grabs the case of Joe Morelli, her former classmate, innocence-taker and cop. Morelli is on the run after a murder charge kicks him off the police force and puts him into hiding. Along the way, Stephanie runs into Benito Ramirez, a scumbag boxer who prides himself in abusing women.

    I loved this audiobook. It’s not too long and I finished it quickly, because I was so wrapped up in the story. I found myself chuckling over and over again. Evanovich has a great character in Stephanie. She’s young, funny and lively.

    Narrator Review: This audiobook was narrated by Lori Petty. Now, if you don’t recognize the name, you’ll absolutely recognize her voice! Immediately I knew, I knew. But, it took me searching her name online to put the two together. Petty is an actress and was in two movies I remember vividly, A League of Their Own and In the Army Now. She does a great job and I thoroughly enjoyed her performance.
