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.

Narrator

I started reading Janet Evanovich books years ago. I loved all of them. I have recently started using Audible so I decided I would start listening to her books on Audible. I was so disappointed with the Narrator. She did not do justice to the book and she sounded like a small child. I hope the next one is better

Read the book; skip the audiobook

Get into this fun inventive series with the books until you get to the ones Lorelei king narrates. There are few narrators worse than this one. Absolutely impossible to listen to. Then I read the physical book and it was actually quite good!

ONE FOR THE MONEY

I love the complete series... great writer, keeps your interest and is so very funny! Fantastic to pass the time on the way to and from work each day and makes the commute fun. Hard to stop listening to go in to work.

One for the Money

I actually heard this audio of the blue copy. The narrator Lori Petty was difficult to understand. Again, I love the story, but as I said I saw it on the blue copy first. So basically I heard it already.

love the narrator

Good story, fantastic narrator. Just wish each book was longer. Will go through credits like water since I listen all day at work.

Short fun listen.

I enjoyed it because it wasn’t slow and I could listen to it start to finish just one evening of cleaning. Then the next day I watched the movie, and as usual not as good as the book.

Not the full story

Fun listen, but I would love to hear the full versions. The characters are great and there is nothing like a good chase!

One for the Money

I had first bought the book Hard Eight, that is what began my love affair with the whole Evanovich series. I had bought other books from the series but never had time to read them, so I thought I would try listening to them and it was an absolute joy. I hope to see more from the series become available soon! :)

Once you read or hear one of Stephaine's tales you will fall in love with her and her friends and family.
