However, good as this abridged version is (I think that Lori Petty has the perfect voice for Stephanie Plum) it would be better in it's entirety - Please, please, please, Simon & Schuster ask Lori back in to read us the whole BOOK! However in the meantime for those keen to meet Stephanie Plum there are two versions of the abridged books up to Three which allow us the choice of Lori Petty or Lorelei King as narrator and for my money Lori Petty slightly has the edge.From the publisher: You’ve lost your job as a department store lingerie buyer, your car’s been repossessed, and most of your furniture and small appliances have been sold off to pay last month’s rent. Since then I have read the books many times without tiring of them and loved the opportunity to listen to this great book in the car on my way to work (Puts you in great humour for the day!!!). I say begrudgingly because I'm not a great fan of american literature but I was very soon hooked and manically laughing out loud at random moments, to the growing irritation of my husband. I first read One For The Money, begrudgingly, as a result of a friend borrowing it from the library for me having recommended that I read it. You won’t be disappointed if you’re looking for something light hearted to listen to. You will fall in love with Ranger and Joe! Both are too hot to handle……no wonder Stephanie can’t choose between the two! Don’t let the narrator changes deter you from listening to this funny charming, and at times mysterious series. King’s character voices are awesome (she has such a range!) her Stephanie voice has no Jersey accent at all and sound just a little too “blue blood”. Narrator Debi Mazar’s accent is a bit heavy for audio books and then after all this Lorilei King takes over as narrator for the rest of the series. I do agree that narrator Lori Petty is the voice of Stephanie. It appears to me that Stephanie’s character is just one of those people that trouble and mayhem seem to find. I disagree that it gets old and complacent that Stephanie finds herself in the same situations in every book. I agree with some and disagree with others. I couldn’t wait to hear what adventures (and mishaps!) that Stephanie, Joe, Ranger, Lula and the rest of the gang would get into.
I downloaded all 13 books and listened to them all within a week. This is the first time I have read this author and have fallen in love with the Stephanie Plum series.
