PENGUIN One for the Money Paperback – Big Book, 1 February 1996

This story is a laugh out loud start to a great series!

Stephanie Plum is out of work, behind on the rent, and about to have her car repossessed. But she has a large extended family. So she gets a job as a Bounty Hunter from her sleazy cousin Vinnie.The bail jumper she gets assigned to is Joe Morelli, ex-cop accused of murder. He seduced her in high school and dropped her. She can get a $10,000 reward if she can bring him in.Stephanie has no martial arts training and is afraid of her gun. But she’s reckless and determined. The road to her goal is paved with blood and terror — with lots of shocks along the way. She is an engaging protagonist, and Morelli is a charming and devious target. Stephanie is also blessed with a sweet mother who is horrified by her job and wants to marry her off — and an outrageous grandma in spandex shorts who watches cop show on TV and loves Stephanie’s job.I was delighted with this book and have ordered the next one.

Non è alta letteratura, ma è divertente e la protagonista non è né la patetica imbranata né la donna cazzuta, ma una donna normale, con i suoi casini, che prova fare un lavoro pericoloso perché deve.

livre en bon état
