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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Narrator King steps neatly into Stephanie's shoes, her agile voice conveying not only Stephanie's fear and frustration, but her plaintive, why-does-this-always-happen-to-me attitude. King also nails the manly, mysterious voice of gorgeous bounty hunter Ranger, Stephanie's sometime superhero....her vocal stylings are generally as superb as Evanovich's zany characterizations.” —Publishers Weekly on the unabridged audio of Ten Big Ones

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

“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 on To the Nines

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

Another great one!

Evanovich has done it again with her character, Stephanie Plum. I like the narrator and the laughs and there's even some internal movement with Stephanie.

I was disappointed w her last one, but she's proved she can come right back. A great listen

Evanovich is Awesome!!

I just can't get enough of Janet Evanovich and Stephanie!!! The writing and story lines are great. Stephanie needs to live forever!!! Love the narrators. All are awesome in their own way. Eleven On top is one of the best yet.

Any one her “0ne to ……… twenty five” series

Listen to one is my treasured Stephanie plum novels with Great characters like Ranger every night as I drift off to dreamland. So love this series! Want more! And King is perfection!

Fun Fun Fun

I'm a fan of the series, but not a fan of every title! This one however has the fun, humor, and sex appeal I've missed in the last 2 books. Definately worth it.

Worst X-bounty hunter you will ever laugh with

Funniest and worst X-bounty hunter, who can't hold a job, you will ever have the privilege of getting to know.

Excellent, Excellent !!!!!!!!!!

Janet has done it again, great deal of fun. Thank God for Lorelei King -- she just brings these books to life, she is the best reader ever!

Great story! Read like you're watching a movie!

I have to admit I'm hooked! I really enjoy the Stephanie Plum stories, but what send me over the top is the narrarator. Lorelei King does such a great job, you easily will believe it's more than one person reading. She takes Evanovich's stories to new levels.

I recommend starting with the whole series. King doesn't start reading till book seven though, and the characters aren't as interesting and gripping until she narrates.

THESE ARE A MUST READ.

Not literature - but fun

Stephanie Plum is always good for a laugh. For those who have never read a Stephanie Plum novel - a word of warning. Do not listen while driving. I am not kidding; I almost had a car accident because I was laughing so hard. I loved this particular installment in the many woes of Stephanie. Sure, her grandmother did not shoot a turkey in this one. However, she is still smart, self-effacing and gosh-darn cute.

Totally enjoyed this

Stephanie followed her instincts and even though they are way off, she solves the problem. love this series.

Fantastic narration

This series gripped me not for the story - which while fun is all fluff, car explosions and sexual tension - but for the narration which is brilliant. Lorelei King makes each character spring to life so well that you know instantly who is talking, in fact the characterization is better than some full cast dramatizations that I have listened to. If you want a truly entertaining listen this is a good choice. Like the rest of the Stephanie Plum novels Eleven On Top has moments of suspense, slapstick, and desire, however, if you want something with true suspense I suggest you look elsewhere.
