Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich

I all,

I really enjoy the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. The first book is called

"One for the Money".

They are 'fluff' books but I don't think I've laughed out loud so much w/ any other book. I find them quite humorous.

From Amazon "Stephanie Plum is so smart, so honest, and so funny that her narrative charm could drive a documentary on termites. But this tough gal from New Jersey, an unemployed discount lingerie buyer, has a much more interesting story to tell: She has to say that her Miata has been repossessed and that she's so poor at the moment that she just drank her last bottle of beer for breakfast. She has to say that her only chance out of her present rut is her repugnant cousin Vinnie and his bail-bond business. She has to say that she blackmailed Vinnie into giving her a bail-bond recovery job worth $10,000 (for a murder suspect), even though she doesn't own a gun and has never apprehended a person in her life. And she has to say that the guy she has to get, Joe Morelli, is the same creep who charmed away her teenage virginity behind the pastry case in the Trenton bakery where she worked after school."

There are nine books in the series. Her other series "Full House" and "Full Tilt" are NOT near as good.
