Janet Evanovich may have just published Twelve Sharp, the twelfth book in the Stephanie Plum series, but now is as good a time as any to get started from the very beginning. From a drag queen, to an eccentric grandmother, to a hot cop, Stephanie has her hands full as a newbie bounty hunter. As an end-of-summer beach read, or the beginning of a series that can take you through the fall, One for the Money is on the money.
