Fiction. Mystery. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:Discover where it all beganâ??#1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich's 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).
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 dangero

One for the Money de Janet Evanovich (1994)

  1. 30
    First Grave on the Right de Darynda Jones (SunnySD)
  2. 20
    The Spellman Files de Lisa Lutz (KingRat, Candice_oxo)
    KingRat: Lisa Lutz' Spellman files has many of the same kind of "zany" characters and plot elements, but with a harder edge.
  3. 20
    Agnes and the Hitman de Jennifer Crusie (Aula)
    Aula: The same kind of quick, witty banter between the hero and heroine; same light reading; similiar mystery storyline; good secondary characters that add to the love interest rather than detract.
  4. 10
    Body Movers de Stephanie Bond (sjmccreary)
    sjmccreary: Both these series feature slightly ditzy fashion-focused women trying to solve mysteries that are really beyond their abilities. Funny, with wacky cast of characters.
  5. 10
    Whiskey Sour de J.A. Konrath (Scottneumann)
  6. 21
    Retribution Falls de Chris Wooding (JessiAdams)
    JessiAdams: Ok, so the genre isn't really the same, but I feel like people who enjoy Evanovich's characters and their interaction with each other will enjoy those same qualities in Wooding's series. Both are very funny books about a set of characters who are trying to achieve things that are really beyond them.… (mais)
  7. 10
    Bubbles A Broad de Sarah Strohmeyer (glade1)
    glade1: Similar, working-class heroines with humor and zany adventures
  8. 11
    Peepshow de Leigh Redhead (Maid_Marian)
  9. 11
    Abby Cooper, Psychic Eye de Victoria Laurie (leahsimone)
  10. 00
    Sink or Swim de Stacy Juba (magelet87)
    magelet87: Both have the same flirty, carefree-but-still-a-mystery book vibe going on.
  11. 00
    B is for Burglar de Sue Grafton (JenniferRobb)
    JenniferRobb: Strong female main characters with a bit of humor.
  12. 00
    Wife for Hire de Janet Evanovich (JenniferRobb)
    JenniferRobb: Several of the characters from "Wife for Hire" seem to be earlier versions of Stephanie Plum series characters.
  13. 01
    Knock Off de Rhonda Pollero (marschaaahhh)
    marschaaahhh: Similar humour and odd characters.

This just brought back some good o'l home memories, the sass the neighbors and unfortunately even the crime. This was a fast read but fun. ( )

I liked this book, the first of the series, though I don't plan to read more. That's partly because I was a huge fan of Sue Grafton's Kinsey Milhone mysteries in the 1980s, and the character seems very similar. The plucky, self-doubting, attractive, young, strong female detective (yes I know, Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter, but the modus operandi is the same) is no longer a type I'm that interested in. But the book was well-written, amusing in many places (I laughed out loud when the guy she's hunting throws her car keys in the dumpster), and since it's 1992 the attack on her was horrid without being politicized or sensitive to reader trauma. A good book. ( )

I thought I had read this book before but I did not remember it. I love Stephanie Plum. I have read a few of the books that stand-alone.

We are introduced to Stephanie Plum. She needs a job and decided to work for her cousin Vinnie, as a bounty hunter. I love meeting Ranger and Morelli.

Stephanie decides to take on the Morelli case since that has the largest payout. This book was entertaining and the fact that it takes place in nearby New Jersey is nice. ( )

2.5* maybe. To be exact, it’s a bunch of unlikeable characters in a 1.5* story, but mechanically it’s well written (4*).

Reading this in 2024 and realizing it was published 30 years ago, I can that see part of the problem is so much of the story and dialogue aged like milk. But beyond that, it’s trying to be funny and cute while also being a quasi-crime fighter situation, and then there’s some in-your-face assault and beyond violent predatory behavior, and general misogyny… it’s a lot, and I imagine it was considered scandalous in its native 1994.

This was recommended to me by a friend who loves this series, so I felt obligated to see it through, otherwise it would be a DNF for me. I just don’t see much that’s redemptive about this book. ( )
