One for the Money: International Edition

Stephanie Plum Mysteries, Book 1

De: Janet Evanovich

Narrado por: C. J. Critt

You've lost your job as a department store lingerie buyer, your car's been repossessed, and most of your furniture and small appliances have been sold off to pay last month's rent. Now the rent is due again. And you live in New Jersey. What do you do?

If you're Stephanie Plum, you become a bounty hunter. But not just a nickel-and-dime bounty hunter - you go after the big money. That means a cop gone bad. And not just any cop. She goes after Joe Morelli, a disgraced former vice cop who is also the man who took Stephanie's virginity at age 16 and then wrote details on a bathroom wall. With pride and rent money on the line, Plum plunges headlong into her first case, one that pits her against ruthless adversaries - people who'd rather kill than lose.

The New York Times Book Review calls Stephanie Plum "a Jersey girl with Bette Midler's mouth and Cher's fashion sense." In Stephanie Plum, Evanovich has created a resourceful and humorous character who stands apart from the pack of gritty female detectives.

Funny and a Good Plot

The only thing I didn’t like was how the narrator had these long breathy pauses. Otherwise, the storyline was good and I laughed out loud several times!

Stephanie Plum is the best

light hearted comedy of errors, enjoyable easy listen. I encourage all amature sleuths to dig in for fun

pretty good

a little silly sometimes but I enjoyed it all. I think all would get a kick out this book.

Why do the narrators keep changing this series??

I’ve made it to book 7 in the series, While I enjoy the story, the changing of narrators is really offputting. Now suddenly in book 7 one of the characters has an accent that they’ve never had before. So strange. Things like that make it hard to fall in love with the series. But if things like that, don’t bother you, it’s entertaining. .

Nice!

Came back for this one, started later in the series. I wasn’t disappointed In The least! Great book! Awesome start!
