Book Review: One for the Money
My holiday reading just picked up with a delicious novel One for the Money by Janet Evanovich.
The book is a first in a hilarious series about a bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum, who fell into the FTA (fail to appear) game when she was was retrenched from her job as a lingerie buyer.
After 6 months of selling off most her belongings, she bribes her cousin Vinnie into letting her work as a bounty hunter, chasing a cop accussed of murder. The reward of $10 000 is far too much for a broke New Jersey girl to walk away from.
The person she is chasing also happen to be a childhood crush, Joe Morelli.
Inbetween chasing Joe and dealing with her mother’s match-making schemes, the shorts wearing Stephanie attempts to solve a murder, learns to shoot a gun, steal a car and becomes a favourite for police gossip.
This book is well written, fun, light, page turner. I will definitely be returning to Stephanie Plum’s adventures soon.
