One Fine Mess
Welcome to Trenton, New Jersey, home to wiseguys, average Joes, and Stephanie Plum, who sports a big attitude and even bigger money problems (since losing her job as a lingerie buyer for a department store). Stephanie needs cash - fast - but times are tough, and soon she's forced to turn to the last resort of the truly desperate: family...

One False Move
Stephanie lands a gig at her sleazy cousin Vinnie's bail bonding company. She's got no experience. But that doesn't matter. As does the fact that the bail jumper in question is local vice cop Joe Morelli. From the time he first looked up her dress to the time he first got into her pants, to the time Steph hit him with her father's Buick, M-o-r-e-l-l-i has spelled t-r-o-u-b-l-e. And now the hot guy is in hot water-wanted for murder...

One for the Money
Abject poverty is a great motivator for learning new skills, but being trained in the school of hard knocks by people like psycho prizefighter Benito Ramirez isn't. Still, if Stephanie can nab Morelli in a week, she'll make a cool ten grand. All she has to do is become an expert bounty hunter overnight - and keep herself from getting killed before she gets her man...

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments Why do you do this to me? I don't want to start another long series but the buddy reads in this group are so tempting. I'm resisting for now

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments **hee hee** It is a funny one, ShoSho.


Dawn (Kat N Hat) (katnhat) | 506 comments I inherited this book 2 years ago and it has been sitting on a shelf waiting to be read. I keep meaning to start it and something else shiny comes along to distract me.

I am going to attempt to read along with you all.

ShoSho  (shoshost) | 12263 comments There are a few people who said wanted to join, maybe we should give it a few more days

Are any of you wanting to read it now?


message 19: by Lina (new) - added it

Lina | 5563 comments Oh I've had a shocker, but I do want to read it! Can we start this one say Tuesday of this week?

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Sorry, I've got company... unless my sister-in-law wants to listen to it while we cook and whatnot...

Lisa Kay (lisakayalicemaria) | 20787 comments Man-oh-man! I still haven't gotten to this one. I've read them all, too, Karen L. Probably why I move it down on my TBR pile. But, you know, I do need something funny right about now. Could be a good one to start.

Sorry about your computer problems. Drat! I hate when that happens.
