Stephanie Plum is thinking her career as a fugitive apprehension agent has run its course. She's been shot at, spat at, cussed at, fire-bombed, mooned, and attacked by dogs. Time for a change, Stephanie thinks. Time to find the kind of job her mother can tell her friends about without making the sign of the cross.

So Stephanie Plum quits. Resigns. No looking back. No changing her mind. She wants something safe and normal. As it turns out, jobs that are safe and normal for most people aren't necessarily safe and normal for Stephanie Plum. Trouble follows her, and the kind of trouble she had at the bail bonds office can't compare to the kind of trouble she finds herself facing now. Her past has come back to haunt her. She's stalked by a maniac returned from the grave for the sole purpose of putting her into a burial plot of her own. He's killed before, and he'll kill again if given the chance. Caught between staying far away from the bounty hunter business and staying alive, Stephanie reexamines her life and the possibility that being a bounty hunter is the solution rather than the problem. After disturbingly brief careers at the button factory, Kan Klean Dry Cleaners, and Cluck-in-a-Bucket, Stephanie takes an office position in security, working for Ranger, the sexiest, baddest bounty hunter and businessman on two continents. It might not be the job she'll keep for the rest of her life, but for now it gives her the technical access she needs to find her stalker. Tempers and temperatures rise as competition ratchets up between the two men in her life---her on-again, off-again boyfriend, tough Trenton cop Joe Morelli, and her bad-ass boss, Ranger. Can Stephanie Plum take the heat? Can you?

Between the adventure and the adversity there's attitude, and Stephanie Plum's got plenty in her newest misadventure from Janet Evanovich, Eleven on Top.

Critic reviews

"A pleasing romp." (Publishers Weekly)

"It's wonderful to watch both a beloved character and a cherished author grow, and both Stephanie Plum and Evanovich do not disappoint." (Booklist)

A favourite!

The laughs come fast and furious in this one. Definitely one of my favourites. I don't think the author interviews at the end of some of the books add anything though and almost took away a star for that!

Stephanie as a Rangeman

I love that Stephanie goes to work for Ranger. Ranger decks her out to a mini-him and Joe has to deal with it. How those two men co-exist in her world is surprising.
It cracked me up on Stephanie's sugar addiction and her substitution when she quits,
This one was one of my favorites.

Best Stephanie Plum so far

I laughed more at this book than I have in a long time. Evanovich and C.J. Crit are a great team.

More Plum Fun

Eleven on Top has all the fun hijinks that readers expect from a Stephanie Plum novel. If you are looking for new developments in the Morelli-Stephanie-Ranger story, it is not there, but there are many laugh-out-loud moments. Lorelei King does a great job, as usual, with the narration, making the characters come to life. For Plum fans, this is worth a listen.

Eleven On Top

I love the Stephine Plum Novels they make me laugh and the book seems to move smoothly no slow spots in the plot.

Hysterical

Be careful if you listen to this while driving. I laughed so hard that I almost crashed.

Excellent!

You'd think after 11 books with the same characters, the story line would start getting old -- but not with this series!! Interesting and funny -- STILL!! #12 is just as good too and can't wait to read/listen to #13!! Best series ever written! Thank you Janet Evonovich!!

great

very captivating love the way these books get you hooked and make you want to keep listening

Stephine Works for Ranger

Would you consider the audio edition of Eleven on Top to be better than the print version?

Not so much better, but more relaxing to listen to the story.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, just following along this story was an adventure with a surprise ending. Loved Lula as the Bounty Hunter and Stephanie helping her is just hysterical.

What about Lorelei King’s performance did you like?

Lorelei has Lula down pat and Ranger is a little less Scarface than the past books.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I took my time with this one so it took two days. Nice read.

Entertaining and funny

I love the Stephanie Plum series, Part predictable, Part unpredictable. This Reader is always fantastic.
