Stephanie Plum is a good girl at a bad end who, upon finding that she's rapidly running out of money, decides to take up an interesting career choice. What career? Bounty hunting. Of course, the fact that she has no idea what she's doing becomes somewhat problematic, but Stephanie's nothing but determined, and she soon acquires help: her new best friend Lula, a former hooker; her on-again off-again sort-of-boyfriend Joe Morelli, a cop; Grandma Mazur, her absolutely insane grandmother; and Ranger, a fellow bounty hunter who redefines 'man of mystery'. Both with and without their help, Stephanie manages to take down criminals, expose major crimes, and she always gets her man... though usually it's after creating a whole lot of chaos in her wake. All in the name of good, of course.Cars explode frequently. This is a series of 30 (so far) novels, helpfully numbered via their titles: One For The Money (1994) Two For The Dough (1996) Three To Get Deadly (1997) Four to Score (1998) High Five (1999) Hot Six (2000) Seven Up (2001) Hard Eight (2002) To the Nines (2003) Ten Big Ones (2004) Eleven on Top (2005) Twelve Sharp (2006) Lean Mean Thirteen (2007) Fearless Fourteen (2008) Finger Lickin' Fifteen (2009) Sizzling Sixteen (2010) Smokin' Seventeen (2011) Explosive Eighteen (2011) Notorious Nineteen (2012) Takedown Twenty (2013) Top Secret Twenty-One (2014) Tricky Twenty-Two (2015) Turbo Twenty-Three (2016) Hardcore Twenty-Four (2017) Look Alive Twenty-Five (2018) Twisted Twenty-Six (2019) Fortune and Glory: Tantalizing Twenty-Seven (2020) Game On: Tempting Twenty-Eight (2021) Going Rogue: Rise and Shine Twenty-Nine (2022) Dirty Thirty (2023)There are also four "between the numbers" books, with a slightly more paranormal slant (but still as hilarious as the rest of the series), with titles based on the word "Plum" and various holiday themes (so far, Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and Halloween).The books are pretty funny, with surreal humour, exploding cars, the weirdness that is Grandma Mazur and some take-downs gone very dodgy.A film based on the first book was released in January 2012 with Katherine Heigl as Stephanie; it was poorly reviewed and lost money in cinemas, but the author liked it.Lizzy and Diesel, A spinoff series focusing on Diesel (who appears in the "between the numbers" books) is also underway.

All Men Are Perverts
 Stephanie Plum / int_129749df
comment
Stephanie is forced to do this twice. Both times, she has to ditch all her clothing due to it becoming filthy and/or soaked, and both times she can get replacement outerwear, but no bra or panties. Stephanie finds the experience strange and a bit embarrassing. Not surprisingly, Ranger and Morelli have a different point of view about Stephanie wearing Vapor Wear. And her mother seems more worried about Stephanie losing her bra than by her being held captive by killers.

Or the time that the funeral home got blown up. This has become a Remember When You Blew Up a Sun? thing for Stephanie; the incident is guaranteed to be brought up by someone at least once per book. It's gotten to the point where she tells people who recognize her "I didn't blow up the funeral home and I barely ever shoot people."

Ranger (an ex-Black Ops soldier not above the occasional Pay Evil unto Evil murder) can sometimes appear to be this, though whenever they work together Stephanie usually ends up being his sidekick rather than the other way around. He's considerably less psycho than most other examples.

Chekhov's Gun
 Stephanie Plum / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: In To The Nines, during the climax, Stephanie acquires an employee’s pepper spray canister from a desk drawer that she’d previously seen on her first visit to the factory. In Eleven On Top, Stephanie learns that a key piece of evidence was made out of mortician's putty. She doesn't put it together until the end of the book when she learns that the plot was masterminded by the Burg's local mortician, who was impersonating his dead son. In Lean Mean Thirteen, after arguing with her ex-husband, Dickie, in his office, Stephanie angrily takes back a desk clock that her Aunt Tootsie gave them as a wedding present. Later, Stephanie discovers this clock concealed a key card allowing access to Dickie’s law firm’s entire funds.

Differently Powered Individual: This is the theme in the between the numbers books, where, allegedly, people have different powers. The main antagonist in Sugar Plums calls lightning, or is implied to. Diesel calls them "Unmentionables", or something to that extent. It isn't even explicit what their powers come from, whether they're magical, psychic, or comicbook-style superpowers. There's some lighthearted talk about "cosmic juju", though.

Hell-Bent for Leather: Joyce wears a lot of tight leather when she's in bounty hunter mode, and she does pull it off better than Stephanie, partially because Joyce is actually comfortable with handling guns.

Every Car Is a Pinto
 Stephanie Plum / int_3ec7c277
comment
Every Car Is a Pinto: A Running Gag. At least once per book, Stephanie's car explodes or is spectacularly destroyed in some other way. Inverted for the Buick. It is apparently indestructible, unlike the things it runs into. If it had bulletproof windows, Stephanie would be invulnerable in it. Too bad she hates driving it. In one of the books it not only has a bomb planted on it (which fails to go off), Stephanie also uses it as a battering ram. The Buick incurred no damage whatsoever beyond small scratches to the paint. The other car was almost totaled. In the ninth book, her car doesn't blow up, but this gag is lampshaded by one of Grandma Bella's so-called visions. By the thirteenth book, Steph finds out that all the Rangeman guys have been taking bets on when she'll blow up the next car. Ranger writes the ever-increasing cost off in his budget under "entertainment". Occasionally Stephanie will have her car of the moment stolen, pancaked or accordioned for a change of pace.

Sensitive Guy and Manly Man: Sugar and Sally in Four to Score, both drag queens in drag band The Lovelies. Sugar is full-on Dude Looks Like a Lady and is gay, while Sally is big, hairy and straight. In Twelve Sharp there's Scooter and Dave, the gay couple taking over Stiva's funeral parlor. Dave is an ex-wrestler who is Manly Gay, while Scooter is the more effeminate counterpart who bakes the cookies and used to work at a makeup counter.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Stephanie Plum / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first book, One For The Money, is noticeably more realistic and much more brutal than subsequent entries in the series. Benito Ramirez, the evil boxer, is the only real monster in the series so far - all other villains are in some way sympathetic or understandable. Even when Ramirez reappears in the fifth book, he is kept mostly out of sight, just a threat in the background (though admittedly a serious one) that never really comes into play when he is shot by someone gunning for Stephanie. When Lula is hired as the file clerk in Two For The Dough, she’s actually good at the job. Later books describe her as inept at filing as she is at being Stephanie’s field assistant.

Crazy Jealous Guy: A subversion; Joe is clearly jealous of any time Stephanie spends in proximity to Ranger, but doesn't go ballistic. Stephanie remarks that a younger Morelli would have played this straighter, and would've gone after whoever guy she was with gun at the ready. Joe himself says that while he does get jealous, he trusts Ranger. To a point.

Because he runs afoul of angry bookies, hookers, and bondees, he has his door specially reinforced so that nothing short of heavy weaponry can get through.

Psycho Sidekick: Lula, with her penchant for tasering everything in sight and breaking and entering "accidentally". Ranger (an ex-Black Ops soldier not above the occasional Pay Evil unto Evil murder) can sometimes appear to be this, though whenever they work together Stephanie usually ends up being his sidekick rather than the other way around. He's considerably less psycho than most other examples. Ranger has has own platoon of these, who Steph refers to as his Merry Men. His right hand man is Tank, who, in his first appearance, threw someone out of a window. In later books Ranger and his crew tone this down. Grandma Mazur, whose behavior varies between bizarre and borderline insane.

Admiring the Abomination: Edward Scrod, the Wannabe Secret Agent in Twelve Sharp who kidnaps security expert and ex-Special Forces soldier "Ranger"'s daughter and spends a good deal of the novel evading attempts to find him, despite having no background in law enforcement or the military. Ranger remarks, "this guy isn't stupid. If he were the least bit sane, I'd hire him."

Auto Erotica
 Stephanie Plum / int_798a9e41
comment
Auto Erotica: An interesting version when Stephanie, in an unintentional and literal version, climaxed when she rode a Harley Davidson for the first time. Stephanie and Ranger have made love on at least one occasion in one of Ranger's trademark black cars; Stephanie inadvertently hit the car horn at a critical moment. Stephanie has also caught one of her bounties in flagrante delicto in the backseat of their car. And a slight aversion: Stephanie and Morelli almost do it in a car until she finds out he bugged her. That's when she leaves him in a bad neighborhood with no pants. But then she comes back and gives him his gun.

Never Mess with Granny: Try to stuff Grandma Mazur in a freezer, and she'll burn the place down. Funeral directors quake in their shoes when they see Grandma coming if they're hosting a closed-casket viewing. Grandma has been known to go to extremes to try to open the coffin to get a good look at the dearly departed. Grandma has a food fight with her own daughter, Stephanie's mother, in Eleven On Top, after Stephanie's sister elopes to Disney World, leaving the wedding cake behind. (Stephanie gets to eat no fewer than seven pieces before the confection is utterly destroyed. Stephanie is a cake addict.) Grandma Mazur is also the one person that Ranger absolutely refuses to go anywhere near.

Denser and Wackier: The earlier books contain plenty of comedic moments, but also feature compelling, often dark, mysteries and more grounded characterisations. After the series reached double digits, however, the mysteries started becoming more frivolous and outlandish, with heavy emphasis on truly outrageous, often bizarre comedy.

However, she does appreciate the car's indestructibility, and on at least one occasion deliberately uses it.

Recycled In Space: The Alex Barnaby books. They feel very similar to the Plum books, only with race car drivers instead of bounty hunters. Actually invoked by Evanovich herself when she reworked a previous book into the Jamie Swift and Max Holt (the Full books, with titles like Full House, Full Speed, Full Blast, etc) series. She mentioned that she wanted to create another universe with zany Plumlike characters, but not actually set in the world of Stephanie Plum.

A-Team Firing: Most of the time Lula and Stephanie can't hit their target, but do lots of property damage instead.

Sometimes Stephanie gets lucky, though. Likewise Grandma Mazur.

Two for the Dough: Kenny Mancuso, the FTA, is the primary antagonist.

Four to Score: Leo Kuntz and his son Eddie. High Five: Allan Shempsky. Hot Six: Underworld family figures Homer, Alexander, and Hannibal Ramos all contributed to the events of the book.

Took a Level in Badass
 Stephanie Plum / int_9bcd82c0
comment
Took a Level in Badass: Played With over the course of the series. Stephanie knows that she'll never be badass on the same level as Ranger or Morelli, but at a certain point, she also realizes that she's been threatened and shot at so often that she's no longer rattled by it. She's also aware that she may have started out a wimp, but she has a stubborn resilience that helps her bulldoze her way through the job. In the first book, One for the Money, Stephanie Doesn't Like Guns, but when cornered by Jimmy Alpha, she manages to knock him away, grab her revolver and empty all five bullets into his heart. By contrast, in Seven Up, no sooner has her sister Valerie declared she is going to be a bounty hunter too, one of Stephanie's FTAs accosts them and claps the barrel of a gun to Valerie's temple. She faints dead away. In Lean Mean Thirteen, Stephanie takes a threatening phone call from a "genuine psychopath" (who killed his previous victims with a flamethrower), and even Morelli is spooked by how calm she is during and after the call: "Look at you. You're smiling."

Lovely Angels: Stephanie and Lula. Stephanie is the cautious type who doesn't like guns, while Lula wants to kick doors down and shoot on sight. And much like Kei and Yuri, the two cause quite a bit of mayhem and property damage in pursuit of their bounty.

Naked People Are Funny: There seems to be a huge number of nudists, flashers, and streakers in Trenton, and most of them tend to be the exact people that Stephanie has to wrangle. One of her bounties was an extremely fat man who had covered himself in Vaseline just to make it much more difficult for Stephanie to apprehend him.

Tracking Device: Ranger has planted a bug in Stephanie's purse and on all his cars that Stephanie sometimes borrows. This makes it easier to find her when she gets kidnapped (which happens at the climax of many of the books). A couple of times, however, Stephanie expects a rescue because she knows Ranger is tracking her, but then belatedly remembers the device is in a bag she doesn't have with her or in clothes she isn't wearing.

Retcon: In Two for the Dough, Spiro Stiva was explicitly stated to be Constantine Stiva’s stepson. In Eleven on Top, he’s only ever referred to as Con’s son. While not outright contradicting book 2, it’s strongly implied he’s a biological child this time around, thus allowing Con to impersonate a burned Spiro with mortician’s makeup due to their described physical resemblance.

Static Stun Gun: As in the direct contact sort, used for comedy, especially when Grandma Mazur tazes people. Lula loves tazing people. It causes problems sometimes, but then again a lot of bad guys, jerks and FTA's (failures to appear, the folks Stephanie brings in to earn her daily living) have felt Lula's tazer too, so it all evens out. In one of the books, Stephanie's inability to get her tazer to work, with said tazer being used properly by everyone else (including one FTA who tazes Stephanie with her own), is a Running Gag.

Excellent Judge of Character
 Stephanie Plum / int_b82ba58c
comment
Excellent Judge of Character: Vinnie. Stephanie often says that for all his character flaws, he is actually a very good bail bondsman. Every bond he writes is a judgment call that the person being bailed out of jail will actually show up for his/her court date, and he's right more often than he's wrong - the skips that Stephanie is supposed to catch are the exceptions that prove the rule. In Sizzling Sixteen, he and Stephanie are called before an investment banker who's financing the bonds office, who threatens them with legal action if Vinnie doesn't pay back money he's embezzled. Instead of being intimidated, Vinnie quickly discerns that the banker is secretly terrified, which means he's been embezzling from someone even scarier.

Faint in Shock: Stephanie will occasionally faint when presented with a fatally dangerous situation, or when she has just escaped one. Tank, a hardened ex-military bounty hunter, faints after getting accidentally engaged to Lula. Not so much due to the engagement, but the idea of Lula in a wedding dress. Cal loses consciousness after Valerie's water breaks all over him and he is treated to a full view of her delivering a baby.

Shower of Awkward: Stephanie is showering in her house when Morelli suddenly barges in on her, looking for his car keys that she took and she has a major Naked Freak-Out. He hands her a Modesty Towel and handcuffs her to the shower rod, while he searches her apartment, all while they have some Snark-to-Snark Combat. When he can't find his keys, he comes back and takes away her towel before he goes away, leaving her naked and handcuffed to her shower rod. She has to call Ranger to cut out the cuffs, while she can barely keep herself covered with the shower curtain and her hands. The One for the Money film version adapts the scene, using Toplessness from the Back and Shoulders-Up Nudity to preserve Stephanie's (Katherine Heigl) modesty and keep a PG-13 rating.

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Stephanie's juggling two of them - Joe Morelli, her childhood crush turned sexy cop; and Ranger, ex-Special Forces Batman-esque badass. The books make a point about Morelli being much more responsible than he used to be, and Stephanie herself notes that he isn't as much of a bad boy anymore. In the between-the-numbers books, there's also Diesel, who has bad-boy characteristics.

Mama Bear
 Stephanie Plum / int_e13156e1
comment
Mama Bear: Stephanie's mother ran over the bunny suited-thug chasing after Stephanie in Hard Eight. In Tricky Twenty-Two, she chases that book's villain down on foot and beats the hell out of him for having hit Stephanie with a van the day before. And inHot Six when she sees Mitchell and Habib conducting Sinister Surveillance on Stephanie she marched up to them tells them to stop and threatens to give their license number to the cops if anything happens to her daughter. Similarly, Grandma Mazur does not take kindly to Bella besmirching Stephanie's name, and has no fear of the evil eye.

Amateur Sleuth: In practice, Stephanie's more an amateur detective than a professional bounty hunter. She usually starts investigating because of her bounties, but sometimes she is asked to find missing people.

Going Commando
 Stephanie Plum / int_e32c80d9
comment
Going Commando: Stephanie is forced to do this twice. Both times, she has to ditch all her clothing due to it becoming filthy and/or soaked, and both times she can get replacement outerwear, but no bra or panties. Stephanie finds the experience strange and a bit embarrassing. Not surprisingly, Ranger and Morelli have a different point of view about Stephanie wearing Vapor Wear. And her mother seems more worried about Stephanie losing her bra than by her being held captive by killers. When spending the night in Ranger's apartment (Ranger isn't there), Stephanie checks out his wardrobe and doesn't find any underpants. After that she spends a lot of time speculating about whether he wears any or not.

Bounty Hunter: Stephanie isn't so good at being one. Ranger is, and serves as Stephanie's mentor. Lula likes to say she's one, but she's terrible at it and it messes up her wardrobe too much. Over the duration of the books they both get better at the job.

The "Fun" in "Funeral"
 Stephanie Plum / int_e4f48a7f
comment
The "Fun" in "Funeral": The local funeral home is a major social center in "the Burg", the neighborhood where Stephanie's parents and grandmother, Joe Morelli and his family, and many others live. A particularly interesting viewing is guaranteed to turn into a major neighborhood gathering. Grandma Mazur loves to attend viewings at the local funeral home and gets annoyed when it's a closed coffin viewing. She has, on more than a few such occasions, tried to open said coffin. They now station personnel by the casket to intercept Grandma before she can reach it, resulting in a couple of tussles and Grandma's being tossed out without even a cookie to tide her over. Or the time that the funeral home got blown up. This has become a Remember When You Blew Up a Sun? thing for Stephanie; the incident is guaranteed to be brought up by someone at least once per book. It's gotten to the point where she tells people who recognize her "I didn't blow up the funeral home and I barely ever shoot people."

Determinator: Stephanie is pretty incompetent as either a bounty hunter or a detective. She is somewhat lucky, but her real talent is that she simply will not give up. No matter how many times an FTA gets away or humiliates her, she'll just pull herself together and come after them again, and eventually, she'll get them.

Casual Danger Dialog
 Stephanie Plum / int_ea6fdefb
comment
Casual Danger Dialog: Often spectacularly averted — when Stephanie is in serious physical danger, she loses all of her Deadpan Snarker ways and becomes a crying, terrified wreck. She holds her cool against The Webmaster in To The Nines. At least at first. She's much more in control when she's only being threatened, but often collapses into a blubbering mess after. Ranger is a straight example — he seems pretty much completely calm and in control in every situation up to and including shoot-outs, except for the time his daughter was threatened; even then, his composure was only mildly shaken, though he did manage to get himself shot.

Men of Sherwood: The employees at Ranger's security company are all skilled former soldiers or criminals who are miles more competent than the protagonist and provide a lot of help without suffering much misfortune almost every time any of them besides Tank appear. Stephanie sometimes even refers to them as "Ranger's Merry Men".

Big Damn Heroes: Since Stephanie is often in distress, Ranger and/or Morelli have to come in and save her. A notable one is in Ten Big Ones, where Transvestite/Schoolbus Driver/Singer Salvatore "Sally" Sweet sees Stephanie being abducted by a gang. He swoops in on his bus, squishing a third of the gang and mowing down another third with an Uzi causing the remainder to scatter.

Not a Morning Person: Stephanie thinks 5:00AM is the middle of the night. Some of her associates disagree, with drastic consequences for Stephanie's sleep cycle and mood. Ranger is a repeat offender. Diesel from the between the numbers books isn't fond of mornings either.

Addiction Displacement: Stephanie has quite the Sweet Tooth, so when she gives up sugar for a while her libido goes into overdrive. She manages to wear out Morelli, who finds almost any excuse to get it on with her. It got to the point where he locked himself into his guest bedroom just to get a good night's sleep. He's normally very territorial when it comes to her dealings with Ranger, but in this instance, he actually suggested that Stephanie avail herself of his rival to "take up the slack".

Mafia Princess
 Stephanie Plum / int_ef2d2bae
comment
Mafia Princess: Lucille, Vinnie's wife. Her father is Harry the Hammer, a very notorious mafioso, who is very protective of her. Harry funded Vinnie's bond agency because of Lucille, so she enjoys a very comfortable life. Vinnie is not so lucky - because Harry is Lucille's father, he has to be very careful not to piss either of them off or he's in a lot of trouble, financially and physically. Connie, however, is an aversion. While she is part of a mob family, she's a bit more like One of the Boys than a pampered princess. She learned how to shoot from her family, and is very comfortable with assorted guns, and in one case, a rocket launcher. Terri Gilman was a cheerleader in High School and niece of a mob boss before growing up to work for him.

Chained to a Bed: Morelli cuffs Stephanie to the shower rod in One for the Money. Ranger has to go in and rescue her, but thankfully for her she has the shower curtain as cover. Lula gets cuffed to a bed in Eleven on Top after doing the deed with an attractive FTA. Stephanie lets her out after wondering what took her so long. Stephanie loses yet another pair of handcuffs to a fleet-footed FTA in Hard Eight, and Vinnie prefers to imagine Stephanie simply has a man cuffed to her bed instead.

Distracted by the Sexy: Ranger has to tell Stephanie to tone down the wardrobe because it keeps distracting his "merry men" from their surveillance duties. He cuts the feed to her cubicle in Eleven on Top for much of the same reason; she inadvertently lets out a pleasured moan when Ranger brushes against her.
