One for the Money

I have recently started reading the first novel of the Stephanie Plum series. These books are written by Janet Evanovich; The #1 New York Times Bestselling Author. The main character in One for the Money is Stephanie Plum, a lingerie salesman recently fired. She is very tight on money and is looking for a new job so she could pay for her car and her apartment. On the night she visits her parents for supper they tell her that her cousin Vinnie has an opening in his office. Stephanie goes to get the job but finds out the position has been filled. She finds out that her cousin Vinnie is running a bounty hunter business and black mails him into giving her one of the bail skippers, Joe Morelli. His bail bond is worth $10,000, which she wants to get her hands on. She has no experience in law enforcement and no experience dealing with criminals. Joe Morelli was her past fling in high school that she happened to run over with her fathers car. Morelli is wanted for the murder of a famous boxers best friend. As she is hunting him down and in the process gets into trouble with the boxer named Benito Ramirez. As she is on the job, she decides to commandeer his jeep for hers crappy run down car, which later gets her into trouble with Joe. Joe sends his cousin, Mooch to take the car back but she removed the distributor cap so the car wouldn't start when he tried to take it. His cousin tells Joe and Joe visits Stephanie during her evening shower. He raids her house but before he handcuffs her to the shower curtain rod so she wouldn't interfere with him finding the distributor cap. He left her there with the phone so she could call for help after an unsuccessful search of her apartment. This part in the story was so funny to read that I fell down out of my chair, bursting into laughter. This book so far has comedy, suspense, real life situations, drama, romance and a entertaining plot. I can't wait to continue reading further into the story.
