Resumen del Editor

You've lost your job as a department store lingerie buyer, your car's been repossessed, and most of your furniture and small appliances have been sold off to pay last month's rent. Now the rent is due again. And you live in New Jersey. What do you do?

If you're Stephanie Plum, you become a bounty hunter. But not just a nickel-and-dime bounty hunter - you go after the big money. That means a cop gone bad. And not just any cop. She goes after Joe Morelli, a disgraced former vice cop who is also the man who took Stephanie's virginity at age 16 and then wrote details on a bathroom wall. With pride and rent money on the line, Plum plunges headlong into her first case, one that pits her against ruthless adversaries - people who'd rather kill than lose.

The New York Times Book Review calls Stephanie Plum "a Jersey girl with Bette Midler's mouth and Cher's fashion sense." In Stephanie Plum, Evanovich has created a resourceful and humorous character who stands apart from the pack of gritty female detectives.

I can’t wait for the next Stephanie Plum novels.

I watch the movie and jumped down the rabbit hole, that is Stephanie Plum. I have read every one of her novels and went on to read( or listen to) all of her other books. I wait every year for the next one to come out.
The main character is likable and we all have friends that sort of just fall into their lives, with no advanced planning. Stephanie is one of those people. I enjoy getting involved in her adventures. These are good light-hearted reading with life thrown in for a little action.

NEW JERSEY AT ITS BEST

As always a good book from Janet Evanovich.
So down to earth., and real.

Had a good laugh

I read this book at least 25 yrs ago. Listening to it was a real treat and I needed the laugh.

Fun

Enjoyed myself. Well written, vivid characters, entertaining. What more can you ask for? Well done J

Funny and a Good Plot

The only thing I didn’t like was how the narrator had these long breathy pauses. Otherwise, the storyline was good and I laughed out loud several times!

Entertaining if you don’t think too much

This was my first Stephanie Plum book. I like the character and the reader’s voice. The writing, not so much. Strange attention to details that don’t matter, and way too much exposition (unraveling the plot) at the very end. But I may try another one to see if the writing gets better. Interesting female detective characters are hard to come by.

Made me laugh out loud.

Loved it!! The story was very entertaining. I was engaged from beginning to end and often found myself laughing out loud. I would love to read more about Stephanie Plumb and her escapades as a bounty hunter.
