Stephanie Plum's got rent to pay, people shooting at her, and psychos wanting her dead every day of the week (much to the dismay of her mother, her family, the men in her life, the guy who slices meat at the deli . . . oh, the list goes on). An ordinary person would cave under the pressure.

But hey, she's from Jersey.

Stephanie Plum may not be the best bounty hunter in beautiful downtown Trenton, but she's pretty darn good at turning bad situations her way . . . and she always gets her man. In To the Nines, her cousin Vinnie (who's also her boss) has posted bail on Samuel Singh, an illegal immigrant. When the elusive Mr. Singh goes missing, Stephanie is on the case. But what she uncovers is far more sinister than anyone imagines and leads to a group of killers who give new meaning to the word hunter.

In a race against time that takes her from the Jersey Turnpike to the Vegas Strip, Stephanie Plum is on the chase of her life. The unforgettable characters, nonstop action, high-stakes suspense, and sheer entertainment of To the Nines define Janet Evanovich as unique among today's writers.

Critic reviews

“Narrator King somehow makes the crazy, comic antics of Evanovich's irresistible bond agent, Stephanie Plum, seem almost rational in this fine audio adaptation...With plenty of prior experience narrating Evanovich titles, King has no trouble highlighting the eccentricities of the author's invariably quirky cast of characters...King's chameleon voice and ease with accents make this a lively listening experience.” —Publishers Weekly

“Narrator Lorelei King does a fabulous job, as each character is assigned a distinctive voice, thus milking the humor for every drop.” —The Boston Globe

“Stellar voice performer Lorelei King gives a captivating spin to the characters in Janet Evanovich's ninth Stephanie Plum novel.” —Denton Record Chronicle

Laugh out loud

I absolutely love this book. The characters are a riot, I found myself laughing out loud. Very well read.

Laugh out loud funny ...

The characters are larger than life, the story fast moving, always entertaining and sometimes even laugh out load funny! Let's not pretend that this is anything but light and fast reading -- you're not going to improve your knowledge nor expand your vocabulary, unless you've seldom heard people swear!

Adult content, language and situations make this unsuitable for your younger reader -- but for all the same reasons it helps to spice it up for the adult consumer.

Perfectly narrated by Lorelei King -- she has a real talent for these oversized Jersey characters -- which makes this a very enjoyable listen.

Highly recommended, just for the fun of it!

Excellent/Hilarious

My only regret is that this is the first Evanovich book I have listened to and I wish I would have started at the beginning of the series. This book is great and the narrator (Lorelei King) is FANTASTIC! I will unquestionably read this whole series!

Truly a funny book!

Don’t listen to this book in public because you’ll feel silly laughing so hard. I was waiting for a prescription when it happened. Somber time. Good story doesn’t slow. But keeps you laughing. Worth the credit!

Plum hilarious!

Stephanie Plum and her sidekick, Lula, are laugh-out-loud hilarious. Stephanie is no superhero bounty hunter (her gun is usually at home in the cookie jar when she needs it most), but she always gets her man. The action is fast. The romance is hot and humorous at the same time. Even the villains are quirky and amusing. If you enjoy a bit of chaos and wreckage, Stephanie always finds a way to utterly destroy one or more cars in evermore spectacular fashion.
I can't understand why these books have never been made into movies. (With Jill Hennessy from "Crossing Jordan" as Stephanie Plum and Antonio Banderas as Ranger...simply delicious).
Listen and laugh!

Mental Point Pleasant!

Lorelei King has truly hit her stride in her vocalization of Janet Evanovich's characters. Ms. King truly is Stephanie Plum. Her voice fits Stephanie better than any I have ever heard. She also reads Lula, Gramma Mazur, Stephanie's Mother, and Connie very convincingly and charmingly. Her reading will stay with you for a long time. The books themselves are runaway hits, perfect for summertime beach reads, but paired with Ms. King's perfect renditions, they transform a dark winter night into an afternoon at the Jersey shore with old friends and lots of laughter.

I love Stephanie Plumb books

I love how she gets into trouble and both the guys get her out!! Can't wait to see what else she gets into!!

Been a Stephenie Plum fan most of my adult life.

Been a Stephenie Plum fan most of my adult life. I listen when I'm driving, working (work from home) and pretty much before I go to bed, lol. Addict much?

To the Nines

I needed some escape literature desperately, and this book was the perfect cure. Laugh out loud funny with a witty plot. I love Lorelei King, too. She's a talented performer.

Excellent Series

This is a great, light enjoyable series. I'm actually going through the series for a second time. Lorelei King is excellent reading the series. She's fantastic with the different voices and their expression. I'm in my car 2 1/2 hours a day and these books make the ride fly by.
