Book Review By Brenda Martin
Eleven on Top by Janet Evanovich

Stephanie Plum is a Jersey girl doing what she has to do to make ends meet. Not only has she been working as a bounty hunter tracking criminals all over the city, but she looks good doing it. After being shot at and covered with more questionable substances than she cares to remember she turns over her handcuffs to her friend Lulu.
Her parents and sometime lover Joe are quite pleased by her decision to change jobs, but some things never change. She manages to burn down a chicken joint and not only loses her job but the oh so cool chicken hat she gets to wear.
Her job at a dry cleaners doesn't quite work out. Once again she is being shot at. Her personal life is not much better. Stephanie has man problems. One who wants to marry her...sometimes,another who wants to sleep with her. They are both hot. Her man problems do not end there. A psycho with a melted face wants to kill her and the icing on the cake is a six and a half foot cross-dressing wedding planner who wants to dress her up like an eggplant
