Summary of this Book... | ||
Evanovich has, from her very first novel in this mystery series, come up with a "natural" in a character called Stefanie Plum. When she becomes a bail bondswoman she is't really sure what she has gotten herself into. The novel rides like a movie as funny as the statement in the edition summary that "she lost her cherished Mazda Miata to a repo man. Replacement: a used Nova with a bad muffler." I really liked what The Washington Post had to say about this NY Times Best-Selling novelist with the remark that "One For The Money comes roaring in like a blast of very fresh air, it goes down like a tall, cool drink." Why not? Stefanie Plum needs money and her cousin Vinnie may be willing to give her $10,000 in reward money for bringing in a fascinatingly sexy guy named Joe Morelli, a vice cop charged with murder on his hands and skipping parole. This is the guy she knew when she was much younger and it eeks a chase with a sexual attitude that is comic as well as serious. Stefanie Plum goes after wearing the money behind a lady with a leopard-skin coat, red nylons, and a sexy heart-shaped wince on even though she is unbearable hurting for it. | ||
This type of Book is good for... | ||
Itg's good for casual, mystery buffs who like the active voice and a hot libido with a suspenseful inner voice charming us all with every move. I found it good for innocent laughs. Snickered with it at all points. The finale is lays out better than a standard who-dunnit and some scenes are graphic but you taxi into a job of investigation with even the price of a pair of handcuffs being 40 dollars to a Smith-and-Wesson she can't afford. One line marks the trail: Isn't it just insanity. Who knows what criminals can do. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
I especially liked Evanovich's wisdom. It lies in life, juxtaposed with a funny woman and perhaps we should call her "another J.D. Salinger". This one is a smooth talking limosine in a cheap Nova. | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
Laughter, was thought-provoking, and examined crime. Nothing escapes the naked eye of Ms. Evanovich. It's pretty unquestionable. Hailed and prolific as a contemp fiction mystery author can get. | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
A book like this can have a woman's safety in mind yet give humor to the situations she is encountering. She cuts to the chase with even the descriptive sweaty moments of awry. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
With tricks in the trade, it's a one-of-a-kind. It's a full-police course if you follow Stefanie Plum which I intend to do in the future with my reading list. | ||
