Book Reviews of Eleven on Top (A Stephanie Plum Novel)
Book Review: ADVENTURE, DISASTER, WITH A LITTLE LOVE MIXED IN...
Summary: 5 Stars
Stephanie Plum is tired of her job as a bounty hunter. It's dangerous, she's always stressed-out, and well, she just thinks it's time for something new.
So she quits. And then starts a series of nonsensical jobs (for her), discovering along the way that trouble finds her, even when she's not a bounty hunter! There are car bombings, garage bombings, and an "accident" involving a car running down her boyfriend Joe Morelli (a cop, no less!).
In the midst of ordinary life, she can't seem to catch an ordinary moment.
Even her sister's impending nuptials can't seem to "normalize" her.
So she finds herself back in the game of pursuing the bad guys, figuring out the mysteries, until finally, just about the time she almost gets herself killed, the answers are lining up. And she has it all figured out. But is it too late?
This is my first Stephanie Plum novel, and now I am hooked. I love her feisty personality, how she openly exposes her flaws and foibles, and how she describes her relationships--and her fear of commitment.
Written in the first person narrative, Eleven on Top (A Stephanie Plum Novel) immediately draws the reader into Stephanie's world, where one is very much present for the rollicking adventures and hilarious moments that define her life.

Stephanie Plum is thinking her career as a fugitive apprehension agent has run its course. She?s been shot at, spat at, cussed at, fire-bombed, mooned, and attacked by dogs. Time for a change, Stephanie thinks. Time to find the kind of job her mother can tell her friends about without making the sign of the cross.
So Stephanie Plum quits. Resigns. No looking back. No changing her mind. She wants something safe and normal. As it turns out, jobs that are safe and normal for most people aren?t necessarily safe and normal for Stephanie Plum. Trouble follows her, and the kind of trouble she had at the bail bonds office can?t compare to the kind of trouble she finds herself facing now. Her past has come back to haunt her. She?s stalked by a maniac returned from the grave for the sole purpose of putting her into a burial plot of her own. He?s killed before, and he?ll kill again if given the chance. Caught between staying far away from the bounty hunter business and staying alive, Stephanie reexamines her life and the possibility that being a bounty hunter is the solution rather than the problem. After disturbingly brief careers at the button factory, Kan Klean Dry Cleaners, and Cluck-in-a-Bucket, Stephanie takes an office position in security, working for Ranger, the sexiest, baddest bounty hunter and businessman on two continents. It might not be the job she?ll keep for the rest of her life, but for now it gives her the technical access she needs to find her stalker. Tempers and temperatures rise as competition ratchets up between the two men in her life---her on-again, off-again boyfriend, tough Trenton cop Joe Morelli, and her bad-ass boss, Ranger. Can Stephanie Plum take the heat? Can you?
Between the adventure and the adversity there?s attitude, and Stephanie Plum?s got plenty in her newest misadventure, Eleven on Top.
Stephanie Plum, Trenton's favorite bondswoman, is having a career crisis, which gives Janet Evanovich plenty of opportunities to showcase her series heroine in a variety of alternative vocations, from dry cleaner to factory worker. Most of them don't last a full working day, which is good for the reader, since it plunges Stephanie back into the always seedy, often dangerous, and always colorful world of fugitives who'd rather flee than face their day in court. She may be tired of having her life threatened, her cars torched or blown up, and her apartment broken into, but one thing she can say about her job is that it's never boring... and neither is she. Despite her intentions of going straight at a job with a little more security and a bit less excitement, an old client won't let her--he keeps leaving her threatening notes, stalking and scaring her, and making sure she needs the protection of the two men in her life--Joe Morelli, the sexy cop who's been bedding her since high school, and Ranger, the even sexier tough guy who can take down the meanest fugitive around but has a tender spot in his heart for the plucky Ms. Plum. All Evanovich fans' favorite characters people this sprightly caper novel, including Lula, the fast-food-chomping former hooker who's hot to take over Stephanie's job but really belongs in a WWE Takedown; Grandma Mazur, who'd rather go to a wake than a fancy-dress ball; Grandma Bella, the matriarch of the Morelli family whose evil eye frightens even the indomitable Stephanie; and Valerie, Stephanie's sister, who's about to embark on another trip to the altar. A great beach read, Eleven on Top is a guilty pleasure that will delight readers of the author's 10 earlier novels and should win her even more fans. --Jane Adams
