By Janet Evanovich. Till now i had clubbed Evanovich with those syrupy romantic authors who wrote books by the dozen. But believe me this lady is fun. I have this liking towards quirky and silly heroines. Helen Fielding, Catherine Alliot, Jennifer Crusie all write books with heroines who you can identify with. They have the rough edges and the clumsiness you have.
One for the Money is a Stephanie Plum novel. The first one in the series. Plum is an out of work lingerie buyer for a company that is about to go bust. She has been out of work for 6 months and is getting by by selling her furniture. In an act of desperation, she joins her cousin Vinnie's office as a bounty hunter. To catch all the Failed to Appear criminals who dint show up in court and for whom Vinnie paid the bond.
The book is hillarious with each character well flushed out and the story line never letting us down. This book just gave me 12 more books to read, cos the 13th book of the Plum series just released and i cant wait to work my way through all of them.
