Book Review - One for the Money by Janet Evanovich

I just finished reading One for the Money by Janet Evanovich last night.
It is the first of her 'crime stopping, thrilling adventure' series.
As I've mentioned before, my mom LOVES this series. She recommended
it to me, so I'm recommending it to all of you!

If you're into the 'bad guy stopping' type books, this is for you. It has
a LOT of wit and charm. I've cracked up many times during this book.
It also has a few more serious events that take place. Let me begin by
explaining to you.

Stephanie Plum (the main character), gets laid off and has been laid off for about 6 months. She's tried various odd jobs to keep her apartment, but loses her car to the re-po man, whom she went to high school with. She makes her town of Trenton, New Jersey seem small, but the neighborhoods are filled with big families that are close to one another.

She brings you back to her childhood days, and mentions one person in particular, Joe Morelli. They had a past, but when it comes to Joe Morelli, who hasn't?
Her mother nags, when Stephanie finally admits she's been laid off.
Her family suggests she checks with her cousin Vinnie, who owns a Bail Bonds agency, for a filing job. With the filing job taken, she is told about the Bounty hunting jobs. She gets a taste for greed when there's a bond worth $100,000, and with her getting 10%, she wants to take the case. She convinces her cousin to give her one week.

Then she finds out she's looking for Joe Morelli.
A soon to be ex-cop, who is charged with first degree murder.

You go along for the ride, and it's a heck of a ride. I suggest you get started!

Happy Reading!
