Additional Three Plums In One: One for the Money, Two for the Dough, Three to Get Deadly Information

Three Complete Novels, One for the Money, Two for the Dough, and Three to Get Deadly, from the New York Times#1 Bestselling Author, Janet Evanovich!

Here's where it all began -- the three novels that first brought us Stephanie Plum, that bounty hunter with attitude who stepped out of Trenton's blue-collar "burg" and into the heart of America.

One for the Money: Stephanie's all grown up and out on her own, living five miles from Mom and Dad and doing her best to sever the world's longest umbilical cord. Her mother is a meddler and her grandmother is a few cans short of a case. Out of work and out of money, Stephanie blackmails her bail-bondsman cousin Vinnie into giving her a try as an apprehension agent. Stephanie knows zilch about the job requirements, but she figures her new pal, el-primo bounty hunter Ranger, can teach her what it takes to catch a crook. Her first assignment: nail Joe Morelli, a former vice cop on the run from a charge of murder one. Morelli's the inamorato who charmed Stephanie out of her virginity at age sixteen. There's still powerful chemistry between them, so the chase is interesting.

Two for the Dough: Stephanie takes to the mean streets of Trenton, armed with attitude (not to mention stun guns and defense sprays), to find Kenny Mancuso, who recently shot his best friend and is on the run. Aided by the enigmatic Ranger, who knows a thing or two about bounty hunting, and by her irrepressible Grandma Mazur, Stephanie forms a shaky alliance with her favorite cop, Joe Morelli, for a tumultuous chase through back alleys and Grandma's favorite funeral parlors.

Three to Get Deadly: Stephanie is having a bad hair day -- for the whole month of January. She's looking for Mo Bedemier, Trenton's most beloved citizen, who was charged with carrying concealed and skipped bail. To help her, she's got Lula, a former hooker turned file clerk. Big, blonde, and black, Lula's itching to lock up a crook in the trunk of her car. And Morelli, the cop with the slow-burning smile, is acting polite even after Stephanie finds more bodies than the Trenton PD has seen in years. That's a bad sign for sure.

Funny and fabulous, Janet Evanovich is at her sparkling best in these three novels that launched a bestselling phenomenon.

What Customers Say About Three Plums In One: One for the Money, Two for the Dough, Three to Get Deadly:

We don't always like the same things, but the drama and humor in these books hooked both my husband and I. These was mystery, adventure & romance and written such that you didn't always know what would happen next. However, I think the humor is what makes the series exceptional.

If you have never read any of the Stephanie Plum novels by Mrs. All of her Plum books I have finished in 2 days or less. Evanovich, you are missing out. So funny, so quirky, and so suspenseful. They are addictive. And what's better than 3 books in 1.

I am excited to get started on this series. I love everything else that Janet has to offer, she is so talented.

The Stephanie Plum series is so funny. All of the books in that series are well worth the money. I bought this series for my mother in law and she's enjoying them as much as everyone else I know who has read them.

File-clerk opportunities in Vinnie's office are limited and quite unappealing, but Stephanie is offered the chance to go after an "FTA" - Failure to Appear. Blue-collar Stephanie has a loving yet remote and silent father; a meddling, narrow-minded yet fiercely protective mother, and best of all, an absolutely over-the-top, brilliant grandmother, who thinks nothing of shooting the "gumpy" off a roast chicken at the dinner table as she tries out her granddaughter's gun.Stephanie also has the perfect pet, a hamster named Rex, who offers silent counsel from the soup can where he lives. I long ago tired of both the earnest, hard-working, well-meaning, clean-living devoted wife & mom (Faye Kellerman) and the confused, vulnerable, dysfunctional yet persistent damsel just waiting for the sexy antihero to complete her (Tami Hoag). "But that hardly ever happens."A great deal happens to Stephanie in Evanovich's first three novels, One for the Money, Two for the Dough, and Three to Get Deadly.

She's a Jersey Girl (which is just one step removed from Long Island, which is where my roots are). I selected this for a book club intro package, knowing nothing whatsoever about Evanovich or Plum.What a delightful, refreshing surprise. The monetary rewards have the potential to be quite lucrative, depending on the amount of bond posted.The drawbacks. Stephanie is not shy, not terribly sweet, and far from innocent. Stephanie needs the protective family, the gun, and the moral support -- all she can get, in fact, because her not-quite-chosen career is bounty hunter.Stephanie would still be "a discount lingerie buyer for E.E.

"Sometimes they don't want to be found, and they shoot at you," she is told. As the series continues, she becomes a seasoned bounty hunter. No, Stephanie Plum is something else entirely, and I love her. All of them feature, to one extent or another, her police paramour, Joe Morelli. Martin's" if they hadn't had the bad taste to lay her off.

Faced with the prospect of having to pawn all her furniture and appliances or go to work at "the button factory," she instead applies for a job at the office of her thoroughly sleazy cousin Vinnie, a bail bondsman. She and Joe do everything from share pizza and beer over a televised Rangers game to steam up the windows of a vintage Buick. Still, she never stops wondering how all of this happened to her.
