Publisher Description
AN ALL-NEW UNABRIDGED RECORDING NARRATED BY LORELEI KING!
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.

"I read this series a few years back but watched the movie with my sister just the other night and made me want to re-read them all. I forgot how much I loved them! Morelli and Ranger are hotties and Stephanie is hilarious. And I heart Grandma Mazur for her peculiarity. Can't wait to read the rest!"

" This Stephanie Plum series is so much fun! Jenni got me hooked on them, and I in turn got Joani hooked on them. Ladies only though. You will absolutely love them and they will make you actually laugh out loud. "

" Pretty fun, overall fluffy, but it builds suspense well. Good light reading. "
— Rosemary, 1/26/2014 -
" For my first Evanovich book, it was a pretty easy read and kept my attention. I thought a few of the things were a bit far fetched that happened throughout the book, but I think I will delve into the rest of the Stephanie Plum series sooner than later. Stories are stories for a reason right? "
— Sarah, 1/21/2014 -
" Can't wait to read number 19! "
— Kerry, 1/18/2014 -
" Started it at 6:30am and finished it at 2:30pm. It wasn't a masterpiece but really enjoyed how descriptive the author was throughout the book. I actually laughed out loud a few times. I will read the entire series. It was easy an easy read. "
— Joyce, 1/12/2014 -
" I thought this was cute. Nothing special "
— Kristi, 1/2/2014 -
" Very funny & a quick read...perfect for a long day in airports & on planes (except when I laughed so hard I snorted). "
— Amber, 11/29/2013 -
" The mystery was terrible, the characters were terrible, the writing was terrible. I can honestly say that I cared not at all what happened to anyone at the end of this book. "
— Meg, 11/29/2013 -
" A juvenile plot with too many F words to actually be a juvenile novel. I actually liked the movie better, and I didn't like the movie too much. "
— Alaura, 11/12/2013 -
" Cannot get enough of these books! "
— Chloe, 10/22/2013 -

— Elizabeth, 5/19/2013 -
" A little racy but hilarious!!!! "
— Jana, 4/18/2013 -
" This was a great break from the serious books I was reading through prior to this one. I actually enjoyed this book - she's outrageous and trashy, and half the things she was doing just seemed unbelievable, but I was still happy enough to go along for the ride. "
— Mariana, 11/27/2012 -
" Have read the entire Stephanie Plum series to date. I never fail to laugh out loud! I want to hang out with Stephanie Plum!!! "
— K., 10/30/2012 -
" I thought the action in the story and the narrator's humor really created a nice plot. "
— Katie, 4/14/2012 -
" Watched the movie on Netflix and loved it. Started the book and got a lot of cussing. I'm sure the story is awesome but I don't care to read the "F" bomb being dropped. "
— Summer, 9/17/2011 -
" This is fairly formulaic as modern crime fiction with feisty female protagonists goes, but it's a formula that works. Fast-paced, snappy writing, good plotting, satisfying resolution. Easy to polish off in the summer holidays. "
— Philippa, 9/6/2011 -
" Easy read with some humor. Only when you are mood for a light read. "
— Natalie, 8/29/2011 -
" I love this series. It's truly laugh out loud funny. Even though the books follow a predictable pattern (after you've read a few), Janet still finds a way to add twists and humor that make them all worth reading. "
— Amy, 8/10/2011 -
" Love these books. They make me laugh out loud. The characters are priceless. "
— Liz, 6/23/2011 -
" Light and funny - a very quick read. Stephanie Plum is a bumbling newbie bounty hunter with some unbelievable, but interesting, escapades. This book had me laughing from the first page. "
— Christine, 6/22/2011 -
" Stephanie Plum is endearing, but rough around the edges. This book is a fast read. My friends tell me the series is addictive and very funny so I am going to try some more. "
— Denise, 6/21/2011 -
" Listened to book on CD. Just fun. Great for road trip to Cooperstown. "
— Karen, 6/19/2011 -
" Don't read this unless you really like to laugh out loud, prefer non-stereo typical characters, and like a bit of unpredictability. It's a hoot. I love the Stephanie Plum series and so glad there seems to be no end to it. "
— Diana, 6/18/2011 -
" Funny, witty prose; boring, crappy plot. "
— Ray, 6/17/2011
