Publisher's summary

In Stephanie Plum's opinion, toxic waste, rabid drivers, armed schizophrenics, and August heat, humidity, and hydrocarbons are all part of the great adventure of living in New Jersey. Out of work and out of money, with her Miata repossessed and her refrigerator empty, Stephanie blackmails her bail bondsman cousin into giving her a try as an apprehension agent. Stephanie knows zilch about the job requirements, but figures she can learn what it takes to catch a crook. Her first assignment: nail a former vice cop on the run from a charge of murder one - who also happens to be the irresistible macho pig who took Stephanie's virginity at age 16. This is the first in Evanovich's incredibly popular Stephanie Plum series.

Ok for quick listen

Liked the narrator. The book was ok. Didn't love it, didn't hate it and it was easy to listen to on the train.

Bought book in error

I bought this book in error. I never buy the abridged version of books and was unaware when buying this book that it was abridged. Very disappointing as I would not have spent my credit on this version.

One For the Money

Listening to Stephaine as a Bounty Hunter, and how she became one, was great. Hard Eight was the first of Evanovich I had heard. It was funny and I wanted more. Then I found that there was a whole series about Stephaine Plum. Her family is one of the funneist parts of the story. I love her Grandmother. I hope Evanovich will continue with the Plum series. So far I have listen 1-6 and the 8th one. And hope to hear the 7th. This series is My favorit, and keeps me wanting more.

So much fun!

Would you consider the audio edition of One for the Money to be better than the print version?

I loved them both! It is really a choice of what is the best medium at the time you want to read/hear it. It would also be easy to go back & forth between the two.

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

Yes. Good twists but not so complicated that it wasn't fun.

Which character – as performed by Lori Petty – was your favorite?

I have listened to many books performed by Lori Petty & she is awesome! I love all her characters.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

My favorite is when Grandma Mazur shoots the chicken....I almost ran off the road (I listen when I drive) even though I knew it was coming I still laughed!

Any additional comments?

Great combination, Janet Evanovich & Lori Petty

Great narration

Lori Petty was the perfect choice to narrate this book. I only wish it hadn't been abridged.

Wrong narrator!!!

I love this book. Janet Ivanovich is one of my favorite authors however this narrator is awful! Normally I would give one of her books 5 stars however Lori Petty brings it down
