She is helped by Ranger, a mysterious hunk who is a skilled bounty hunter. She has no skills and is totally out of her depth. Stephanie is down on her luck having lost her job and in urgent need of money, so she takes a job as a bounty hunter working for her cousin. This is a good start to the popular "Plumb" series. An easy read (or listen) that is mildly entertaining. While the narration was not the best, I was still able to enjoy the story for what is it. These books are mean to be fun, and not much more. Still, there is nothing about Stephanie Plum books that should be taken too seriously, even bad narration. Things that were actually very funny came across as a bad joke.
This audiobook would be so much better if it had better narration! I found myself having to rewind and listen again before getting the humor of certain parts. Not a low brow as the Jersey Shore, but more on the level of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. This is a fun listen that is not a complete waste of your time, but just barely. It is no surprise that Stephanie Plum saves the day, and hooks up with the cute cop who looks like a bad guy, but is really one of the nice guys. The various characters you meet are colorful, although a bit clichéd. Of course, as you would expect, Stephanie does become quite the success at bounty hunting. This is the perfect premise for a book you want to listen to without having to think, which is exactly what this story delivers. She becomes a bounty hunter after being laid off from her job as an underwear buyer at a department store. She is just another Jersey girl trying to make ends meet in a tough economy. Stephanie Plum is not a modern day heroine. Not Sure if This Makes Me a Proud Jersey Girl The New York Times Book Review calls Stephanie Plum “a Jersey girl with Bette Middler’s mouth and Cher’s fashion sense.” In Stephanie Plum, Evanovich has created a resourceful and humorous character who stands apart from the pack of gritty female detectives. With pride and rent money on the line, Plum plunges headlong into her first case, one that pits her against ruthless adversaries - people who’d rather kill than lose. She goes after Joe Morelli, a disgraced former vice cop who is also the man who took Stephanie’s virginity at age 16 and then wrote details on a bathroom wall. But not just a nickel-and-dime bounty hunter you go after the big money.
If you’re Stephanie Plum, you become a bounty hunter.
You’ve lost your job as a department store lingerie buyer, your car’s been repossessed, and most of your furniture and small appliances have been sold off to pay last month’s rent.
