But this tough gal from New Jersey, an unemployed discount lingerie buyer, has a much more interesting story to tell: She has to say that her Miata has been repossessed and that she's so poor at the moment that she just drank her last bottle of beer for breakfast. She has to say that her only chance out of her present rut is her repugnant cousin Vinnie and his bail-bond business. She has to say that she blackmailed Vinnie into giving her a bail-bond recovery job worth $10,000 (for a murder suspect), even though she doesn't own a gun and has never apprehended a person in her life. And she has to say that the guy she has to get, Joe Morelli, is the same creep who charmed away her teenage virginity behind the pastry case in the Trenton bakery where she worked after school. If that hard-luck story doesn't sound compelling enough, Stephanie's several unsuccessful attempts at pulling in Joe make a downright hilarious and suspenseful tale of murder and deceit. Along the way, several more outlandish (but unrelentingly real) characters join the story, including Benito Ramirez, a champion boxer who seems to be following Stephanie Plum wherever she goes. Janet Evanovich shares an authentic feel for the streets of Trenton in her debut mystery (she developed her talents in a string of romance novels before creating Ms. Plum), and her tough, frank, and funny first-person narrator offers a winning mix of vulgarity and sensitivity. Evanovich is certainly among the best of the new voices to emerge in the mystery field of the 1990s. --Patrick O'Kelley Product Description: Trenton native Stephanie Plum is out of work, out of money, and her car's in repo-hell.So how does a hardly working girl turn to when the going gets tough? Meet cousin Vinnie, bail bondsman. Stephanie figures it's nice work if you can get it -- shagging bail jumpers for $10,000 a pop. So she joins up. Not that she knows the first thing about it. But hey, beggars can't be choosers. But now the bad news -- there's a cranky ex-prize fighter dogging her, unfinished business with Maestro Morelli himself, and a nasty habit she has of leaping first and looking later. If Stephanie doesn't wise up fast, the first dead body she sees could be her own. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - EnjoyibleStephanie Plum is a funny and resourceful character. Unemployed Plum gets a job with her cousin's bailbond agency to capture a bail jumper. Plum meets a pyscho boxer, steals the bail jumper's car, and attends family dinners. This is a light-hearted detective novel. Stephanie's character drives this novel. Rating:  - Grandma Mazur just kills meI love all the books in the Stephanie Plum series, but meeting Grandma Mazur (and especially Grandma's gun!) just had me laughing out loud. This is the one I revisit most often, and one of my favorite mysteries of all times. Rating: - Pretty Good StuffBeing a male, I am sure that I am not a member of Janet Evanovich's target audience. After reading her book titled How I Write I became curious about her fiction and gave this one a try. Reading this book was a great joy. Stephanie Plum is a lovable character who is down on her luck financially. She cons her uncle into letting her work in his bail bond office as a bounty hunter. Evanovich pulls no punches on Stephanie as she enters this tough world. The novel realistically presents the challenges ... Read More Rating: - No wonder people love this girlSo i finally decided to read a Stephanie Plum book. I read a few of Janets re-published romance books and enjoyed those. Steph is pretty funny with alot of spunk but liked that she was a little scared at the same time. There were a few disturbing things in the book that i'm not use to reading like violence scenes, but that's ok. I got alot of catching up to do to get threw this whole series but should be fun. Rating: - Where it started:Book 1 of course shows how it all began. How Stephanie comes to be a bounty hunter. And of course the first big job she gets is Joseph Morelli (yum), who she'll get $10,000 for bringing in. She runs into him about 4 or 5 different times without being able to bring him in. If the other bounty hunter found Joe that easy, he'd be behind bars. But Stephanie is a little wet behind the ears, and Morelli keeps rescuing her from stuff. Between you and me, even though he's a skirt chaser, I think he's got a little ... Read More
