Janet Evanovich – One for the money (06-051)

[gerbie]

The first novel with Stephanie Plum as the main character. Stephanie ends up as a bounty hunter, when she has debts and no job. Not a typical job for a young woman, but definitely one that gets her a lot of meetings with interesting people. Boxer Benito Ramirez is one of them, he starts stalking here and telling her what he would do should he manage to get his hands on her. The only person who seems to be able to help her is Joe Minelli, the former policeman she is supposed to bring on to earn 10.000 dollar.

Janet Evanovich seems to have manage to find a niche for her books, as this series already has developed until a title with eleven in it. So ten more books to go for me, if I want to read them all. The trend is there, I already read Karen Kijewski (Kat Colorado) and Liz Evans (Grace Smith), both female authors who created a female lead in a series of whodunits, Janet Evanovich seems to be the most popular of the three. Bridget Jones meets Steve Carella and a whole new genre has arisen.

All the way to Twelve Sharp, actually. :)

I haven't read any of them, but people who are fans tend to be really big fans.

I noticed. It seems that one can find all her novels everywhere in the world, even in the tiniest bookshops in remote places.

I'd like to read a few more, but not soon after each other I guess. One or two a year will do me. So that would mean I have to read for 8 more years before I've caught up...

How odd -- I just stumbled across the tenth book in this series and brought it home with me. Someone left it at the restaurant -- I'd never heard of them before. And here you are, writing a review of the first. Neat coincidence!

Does coincidence really exist? it could also be that you only noticed because you found a book yourself. Otherwise you might have just ignored the book and not notice my entry either...
