Normally there wouldn’t be any problems in that, except for the fact that Vinnie is a bail bondsman and Stephanie will be acting as a bounty hunter. In One for the Money, we meet Stephanie Plum, a down-on-her-luck New Jersey native, that ends up begging her cousin Vinnie for a job. This first one was a great start to what I hope will continue to be a fun, fast-paced series. My thoughts: I have finally decided to jump on the Janet Evanovich bandwagon and read the Stephanie Plum series. If Stephanie doesn’t wise up fast, the first dead body she sees could be her own. But now the bad news – there’s a cranky ex-prize fighter dogging her, unfinished business with Maestro Morelli himself, and a nasty habit she has of leaping first and looking later. Stephanie knows Joe from the old neighborhood, and nothing would please her more than nabbing this bozo. Her first assignment: nail Joe Morelli, a former vice cop on the run from a charge of murder one. Not that she knows the first thing about it.

Stephanie figures it’s nice work if you can get it – shagging bail jumpers for $10,000 a pop. So who does a hardly working girl turn to when the going gets tough? Meet cousin Vinnie, bail bondsman. First line: There are some men who enter a woman’s life and screw it up forever.įrom the back cover: Trenton native Stephanie Plum is out of work, out of money, and her car’s in repo-hell.
