Summary
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 Middler'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.

Evanovich 's series started simply and I have enjoyed reading it and seeing how the characters have grown. After all these years she can still make me laugh.

I enjoyed the story but I struggled with the narrator. I found it to be a flat reading - no real enthusiasm. I'm reading book 2 and will return to audio when there is a different narrator.

I love Janet's books, they are soooo good, witty, the problem with the abridged is you do not get the whole story. I wish they would add the unabridged version

The book starts out a little slow being that the character is just getting started with her career as a skip tracer. But by the end of the book it finished well and the stage was set well for the next episode. It has potential to be a good series.

These books are not long to begin with. Abridging them makes no sense at all. I have deleted all of the deleted series books from my rental list. You might as well just read the jacket blurbs.

This book never caught my attention. There wasn't much of a plot and I never really cared about the characters. I'm going back to Bladuchi or Flynn

Didn't like the reader at all. Also, it was abridged and I felt like I was missing a lot.

This was the second of Janets books that I have listened to. It was enjoyable and entertaining. Helped the miles go by on a long drive. I now understand how Stephanie became a skip tracer and better understand the relationship between the other characters in the book. Look forward to listening to more of the books.

I was first introduced to Stephanie, Ranger, Morelli, and Lula w/ book 9 (by far my fave of all) and loved it from the start. I couldnt stop laughing. So i started w/ #1 and worked my way up, now after having listened to all 13, i can honestly say, this is a must-have, must-listen-to series!!!!I love all the characters and the crazy fta's they have to deal with!

Evanovich's books seem to be very popular, but this didn't grab me. I listened to it partway through, returned it unfinished. Maybe the unabridged version would have been better. This just seemed rather dumb.

My first adventure into Evonovich. Her books came highly recommended and I have to say I was surprised. Easy to listen too, would have been a quick book to read. Not a big intellectual stimulator, but that isn't what I want in an audio book. I had a bit of difficulty finding the reader believable, but she grew on me. Pleasant.
