One for the Money

A Stephanie Plum Novel

De: Janet Evanovich

Narrado por: Lori Petty

Discover where it all began—the first “snappily written, fast-paced, and witty” (USA TODAY) novel in the beloved Stephanie Plum series featuring a feisty and funny heroine who “comes roaring in like a blast of very fresh air” (The Washington Post), from Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dirty Thirty.

Meet Stephanie Plum, a bounty hunter with attitude. In Stephanie’s opinion, toxic waste, rabid drivers, armed schizophrenics, and August heat, humidity, and hydrocarbons are all part of the great adventure of living in Jersey.

She’s a product of the “burg,” a blue-collar pocket of Trenton where houses are attached and narrow, cars are American, windows are clean, and (God forbid you should be late) dinner is served at six.

Out of work and out of money, Stephanie blackmails her bail-bondsman cousin Vinnie into giving her a try as an apprehension agent. Stephanie knows zilch about the job requirements, but she figures her new pal, el-primo bounty hunter Ranger, can teach her what it takes to catch a crook. Her first assignment: nail Joe Morelli, a former vice cop on the run from a charge of murder one. Morelli’s the inamorato who charmed Stephanie out of her virginity at age sixteen. There’s still powerful chemistry between them, so the chase should be interesting…and could also be extremely dangerous.©1996 Janet Evanovich, All Rights Reserved; (P)1996 Simon & Schuster Inc., All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

I love this book. I had to buy the CJ Critt one

I absolutely love Janet Evanovich and all of her story is in the Stephanie Plum series is my favorite. I just couldn't get into Lori Petty being Stephanie Plum. I don't know for some reason CJ critt is more Stephanie Plum to me. I couldn't finish the book I got like halfway into the first chapter and I bought the other one.

Love this book and the narrator!

I’m listening to the whole series!! I was so glad to find out the same narrator was reading all of the books!

Cute and fun book

I will definitely keep reading her series.

love the series

I've loved this series since I was introduced to it. Now I can listen to it while I work or clean or cook.

Loved Stephanie!

Loved Stephanie and the accent was right on ! Looking forward to listening to many more

Fun

What a fun book with colorful characters, and the reader does a great job. Even the supporting characters are interesting. It's empowering to read about a tough-woman character (especially when we're allowed to hear her thinking about how unsure she is) even though it's fiction.

Get your mind off your troubles.

The book has lots of fluff. The girl is definitely not a deep thinker. Enjoyable listen.

Easy and entertaining

Where does One for the Money rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I can see why this series is so popular, with fast moving and entertaining story line with likable (and hateful) characters. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

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

Sort of

What does Lori Petty bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narrations kept things moving along

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

not really

Fun

Fun and entertaining to listen to! Looking forward to listening to the next one in the series.

Sucks you in

This story moves well and is entertaining. I would recommend it to a friend. It also sucks you into the series.
