My very first audiobook was One For the Money. It was so easy to listen to while I was driving and had me in stitches. Since then I loved some but not all, but I always look forward to listening to the next installment.
The quips and banter was strong in this one. I think my favorite lines might be between Stephanie and Lula where Stephanie says we find people. That’s what we do. And Lula replied not very well. 😂
I was a little surprised with how the characters are moving forward in this latest installment. Usually I’m teased about this and then by the end it’s business as usual, but by the end you can see some changes for all of the gang. So much so I was starting to wonder if this was the end. But luckily the book ended letting me know there would be a book thirty two.
For all my talk of progress and growth, there was still Morelli and Ranger vying for Steph’s attention. And Stephanie and Lula bumbling their way, trying to catch a few criminals. And luckily for me I was walking on a closed golf course, cuz I laughed out loud a few times.
Such a quick fun listen. I’m already awaiting the next one. Is it too soon?
She said yes to Morelli. She said yes to Ranger. Now Stephanie Plum has two fiancés and no idea what to do about it. But the way things are going, she might not live long enough to marry anyone.
While Stephanie stalls for time, she buries herself in her work as a bounty hunter, tracking down an unusually varied assortment of fugitives from justice. There’s Eugene Fleck, a seemingly sweet online influencer who might also be YouTube star Robin Hoodie, masked hero to the homeless, who hijacks delivery trucks and distributes their contents to the needy. She’s also on the trail of Bruno Jug, a wealthy and connected man in the wholesale produce business who is rumored to traffic young girls alongside lettuce and tomatoes. Most terrifying of all is Zoran—a laundromat manager by day and self-proclaimed vampire by night with a taste for the blood of pretty girls. When he shows up on Stephanie’s doorstep, it’s not for the meatloaf dinner.
With timely assists from her stalwart supporters Lula, Connie, and Grandma Mazur, Stephanie uses every trick in the book to reel in these men. But only she can decide what to do about the two men she actually loves. She can’t hold Ranger and Morelli at bay for long, and she’s keeping a secret from them that is the biggest bombshell of all. Now or never, she’s got to make the decision of a lifetime.
