Eleven on Top Stephanie Plum No 11 Stephanie Plum Novels Janet Evanovich 9780312985349 Books

Eleven on Top felt a little different to me than the other Stephanie Plum books so far. Yes, Stephanie is stuck in the Ranger/Joe triangle and yes, she still has more than a few issues in her life and yes, she still hates guns. It actually felt to me like the character was growing somewhat.

She quit her bounty hunter job and was fired from not one, but two new jobs and burnt down the third. OK, so she didn't actually do the burning (but then again, how many times did she actually do the burning and exploding in her career?) but you get my drift.

She is getting threats from an unknown source and though she bumbles her way in the bounty hunter business she has a great sense of intuition. Unfortunately the law requires evidence, not hunches. So, Stephanie accepts a research job with Rangeman. This will keep her somewhat safe and will give her the resources needed to find the culprit(s) responsible for her newest threat.

I had the feeling that her character was actually being somewhat responsible even if she still has the immature tendencies to fight Joe tooth and nail when he's trying to protect her. I must say though that sometimes I can't blame her. Joe doesn't ask or suggest, he tells and almost bullies and then Stephanie reacts. Now most of us would probably tell him he' being a neanderthal and really needs to change his tactics (though something tells me he wouldn't pay much attention), but that would take the fun out of the story, right?

I've seen some reviews that read they don't like the Joe/Stephanie/Ranger triangle (though she's going to have to choose sooner or later, she isn't getting any younger), or that Stephanie hasn't gotten much better at her bounty hunter job. However, the Stephanie Plum books are not meant to be deep, intellectual mystery thrillers. They are purely entertainment. Taken in that context, I find they are great reads and I can't help but to enjoy them. The plot in each book are unique enough to keep me from becoming bored.

Eleven on Top Stephanie Plum No 11 Stephanie Plum Novels Janet Evanovich 9780312985349 Books Reviews

Stephanie Plum the bounty hunter has been stalked by crazed killers, taunted by naked men, firebombed, shot at, cussed at, chased by humping dogs, rolled in garbage and dog diarrhea not to mention she now has an unidentifiable glob of goo in her hair after apprehending Melon-head Sporky. This was the last straw for her, it is time to quit being a bounty hunter and get a regular job. She is hired at the button factory only to be fired her first day. The second job is at Kan Klean dry cleaners it too only lasts a couple of days before Mama Macaroni is blown up trying to leave in Stephanies Car. Then she gets a job a fast-food chicken place it goes up in flames after a possible stalker by the name of Spiro Stiva hands her a package that could be a bomb. Four regular guys leave on the same day and end up missing. How is all this connected with her stalker? Great
story, lots of laughs.
The Stephanie Plum series is my favorite. I love her! Stephanie gives up being a bounty hunter in this book, thinking life would be much simpler. She's tired of the bad guys. A ghost from the past has other ideas. Ranger to the rescue in more ways than one! 😎
This is the book where the relationship between Stephanie and Ranger deepens. The growth between these two characters is amazing. Ranger starts to open up about his life and his feelings for Stephanie.
Okay, it's not great literature, but I never tire of Stephanie Plum's hilarious escapades. # 15 ranks high on the list of outrageous adventures. This time everything's bursting into flames. Stephanie manages to torch Ranger's Porsche Cayenne not once but twice, get doused with red paint, her apartment is firebombed, Lula's Firebird explodes, and barbeque sauce seems to rain from heaven throughout the book. Lula organizes a team for a barbecue contest after she witnesses the decapitation of a famous chef. She's determined to win the cook-off prize, but the various concoctions she creates do more internal damage than palate pleasing.

Although currently off men after a break-up with Morelli, the long-running battle for Stephanie's heart continues. Who will she choose, Morelli or Ranger? By book 15, it appears that Morelli is gaining ground. Lots of sexual tension, without anything really gross. I appreciate that.

Evanovich's work walks the tightrope between bawdy and innocent prose, and sometimes the humor seems a bit sophomoric. Still, she manages to keep everything fun. I would recommend this book.
Actually, I give it 4-1/2 stars, because, the main character's schtick of being such a klutz with every bounty apprehension; this has gotten stale as a way to be humorous. After a couple of years of bounty work, the author should have acknowledged that this character would have flawless apprehension techniques. But each book, 1 through 11, continues to be fun entertaining murder mysteries, that get solved in a variety of ways. I plan to read all of the books in this series, including #24 out this fall (2017).
I have read all the Stephanie Plums in order up through this one (15). I think this is the funniest I have read to date. I promise you, I would never loan Stephanie my car. In this Ranger finds out the hard way as she goes to work part time for Rangeman Security and Ranger helps her catch up on her skips. Lula sees a famous TV chef get beheaded on the street and spends the book trying to avoid being killed by the culprits. Plus Lula is trying to win a bar-be-que grill off which pays big money and is tied into the murder. Rangerman clients are being burglarized by someone who knows the security pad codes and employees are being scrutinized to see if it is an in house breach, opening the job opportunity for Stephanie to help. Just the funniest book I have read in a long time.
