She's accidentally destroyed a dozen cars. She's a target for every psycho and miscreant this side of the Jersey Turnpike. Her mother's convinced she'll end up dead . . . or worse, without a man. She's Stephanie Plum, and she kicks butt for a living (well, she thinks it sounds good to put it that way. . . .).

It begins as an innocent trip to the deli-mart, on a quest for nachos. But Stephanie Plum and her partner, Lula, are clearly in the wrong place at the wrong time. A robbery leads to an explosion, which leads to the destruction of yet another car. It would be just another day in the life of Stephanie Plum, except that she becomes the target of a gang---and of an even scarier, more dangerous force that comes to Trenton. With super bounty hunter Ranger acting more mysteriously than ever (and the tension with vice cop Joe Morelli getting hotter), she finds herself with a decision to make: how to protect herself and where to hide while on the hunt for a killer known as the Junkman. There's only one safe place, and it has Ranger's name all over it---if she can find it. And if the Junkman doesn't find her first. With Lula riding shotgun and Grandma Mazur on the loose, Stephanie Plum is racing against the clock in her most suspenseful novel yet. Ten Big Ones is page-turning entertainment, and Janet Evanovich is the best there is.

Reseñas de la Crítica

<p>“Narrator Lorelei King does a fabulous job, as each character is assigned a distinctive voice, thus milking the humor for every drop.” —<i>The Boston Globe on To the Nines</i><br><br>“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.” —<i>Publishers Weekly on To the Nines</i><br><br>“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 characterization.” —<i>Publishers Weekly on To the Nines</i></p>

entertaining

Stephanie Plum is the Penelope Pitstop of the 21st century. This is a fast paced adventure/comedy. The story is a little unlikely but the characters make up for it, especially the grandmother and Lula. Couldn't belive all characters were done by one person. Kudos!!

Evanovich never disappoints!

Action

I love the action and the charters. I laugh a lot when every I'm reading or listening to one of Janet's books.

Another score for Janet!

Janet does a great job of relating to the reader the character of Stefanie Plum as well as the other characters, in a way that is non sex based so every reader can enjoy! From the "one for the money" to this "10 big ones" I have thoroughly enjoyed reading as well as listening to the trials and tribulations of Stefanie plum, bounty hunter!

Oh, I just love Stephanie Plum!!

I love all Janet's books on the "Stephanie Plum" series!! Went and saw the movie; One for the Money. It was o.k., but the books are much better!!

Fun Book

This was a fun read and even more fun listening to Stephanie's goofy adventures. If you enjoy any of the Plum books, this is one for you.

An Outstanding Read!!!

Funny, fast, great narration and an story line full of twists and turns. Add that to a host of very interesting characters, and you've got a great book!

The only negative, and the positives dramatically outweigh it, is the ending is a bit abrupt. Other than that, buy and enjoy the ride!!!

pure enjoyment.

I just love these books. so much enjoyment. Keep writing funny stories that I love so much.

I enjoy every book!

I listen to all Evanovich's books on my commute and they keep me laughing! Can't wait to hear 11!

Great story

Lorelei King helps being this story alive. I read the book about 15 years ago, and it had been one of my favorites. Listening to it brought a whole new level to the story. This book is still one of my favorites in the series.
