One for the Money

The First Stephanie Plum Novel

By: Janet Evanovich

Narrated by: Lorelei King

AN ALL-NEW UNABRIDGED RECORDING NARRATED BY LORELEI KING!

Discover where it all began—the first “snappily written, fast-paced, and witty” (USA TODAY) novel in the beloved Stephanie Plum series featuring a feisty and funny heroine who “comes roaring in like a blast of very fresh air” (The Washington Post), from Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dirty Thirty.

Meet Stephanie Plum, a bounty hunter with attitude. In Stephanie’s opinion, toxic waste, rabid drivers, armed schizophrenics, and August heat, humidity, and hydrocarbons are all part of the great adventure of living in Jersey.

She’s a product of the “burg,” a blue-collar pocket of Trenton where houses are attached and narrow, cars are American, windows are clean, and (God forbid you should be late) dinner is served at six.

Out of work and out of money, Stephanie blackmails her bail-bondsman cousin Vinnie into giving her a try as an apprehension agent. Stephanie knows zilch about the job requirements, but she figures her new pal, el-primo bounty hunter Ranger, can teach her what it takes to catch a crook. Her first assignment: nail Joe Morelli, a former vice cop on the run from a charge of murder one. Morelli’s the inamorato who charmed Stephanie out of her virginity at age sixteen. There’s still powerful chemistry between them, so the chase should be interesting…and could also be extremely dangerous.

Fun - A Quick “Read”

The characters were quirky. Being from New Jersey myself, I laughed out loud at the portrayals of Stephanie’s mother & grandmother.

Very entertaining.

Great fun and very entertaining. The narrator does a phenomenal job. I am ready for the next one!

Laugh Out Loud Moments

While the story is pretty intense, there are several moments where I found myself laughing out loud.

Great narrator!

It was already a great story, but Lorelie King makes Stephanie realistic! I hope they all get narrated by her.

Fin and easy to listen to....

Just when you're going one way, Stephanie switches track. Stephanie and crew are always on the heals of crime.

Narration

I've always wished the early books would have been performed by Lorelei King! She's nailed these characters and no other narrators work.

One

I love all the Stephanie Plum books!! So glad Lorelei finally narrated the first 3 books!!!

The REAL Stephanie Plum

Lorelei King is the authentic voice of Stephanie Plum...and Lula! As a dedicated fan of Janet Evanovich, I'm thrilled that she heard our pleas for Lorelei to re-record the first books in the Stephanie Plum series. Thank you!

Love this series

I am sooo thrilled that Lorelei finally read this one. I’ve been wanting to relisten forever but I wasn’t fond of switching readers. I hope the other three come out soon 🤞

Fun, Fun

Characters are diverse and fun. Story is fast moving but easy to follow. Enjoyed the time spent experiencing the story.
