When she had her son, Peter and daughter, Alexandra, she decided to become a stay at home mom to raise her children. Janet Evanovich married her husband Pete in 1964. After graduating from South River High School she went on to attend Douglass College, part of Rutgers University. Although there is plenty of romance and comedy in the books, they are primarily modern mysteries with an outrageous cast of secondary characters that add down to earth humor.Įvanovich became the first in her family to attend college. The heroine, Stephanie Plum becomes a bounty hunter in her hometown of Trenton, New Jersey by bribing her pervert cousin Vinnie for a job after she is laid off as a lingerie buyer. Each Plum book since that time has been named by a fan. After the third book in the series, Evanovich started running contests for her readers to suggest names for the next book. She later struck gold with her popular ‘Stephanie Plum’ Series – the twenty second book in the series, (‘Tricky Twenty Two’) will be released this November.

But Stephanie's not one to say no to a challenge, whether she's after a Mo or a Morelli.With lots of help from former "ho" turned file clerk, Lula, and the occasional assist from the ultimate of bounty hunters, Ranger, Stephanie packs her pepper spray and takes off in pursuit of the elusive purveyor of sweets. The last time he got social with Stephanie he ended up naked in the middle of the street. Trenton homicide cop and local hunk Joe Morelli is keeping his distance. His car is gone, his ice cream store is deserted, and his neighbors aren't talking, certainly not to Stephanie. Steph's job is to haul his revered ass back to the lock-up and collect her share of the bounty. For starters, she's been given the unpopular task of finding Mo Bedemier - one of the burg's most beloved figures, who unfortunately was caught carrying concealed. Stephanie Plum, the brassy babe in the powder blue Buick, is back, and she's having a bad hair day - for the whole month of January.
