Stephanie Plum, Trenton''s favorite bondswoman, is having a career crisis, which gives Janet Evanovich plenty of opportunities to showcase her series heroine in a variety of alternative vocations, from dry cleaner to factory worker. Most of them don''t last a full working day, which is good for the reader, since it plunges Stephanie back into the always seedy, often dangerous, and always colorful world of fugitives who''d rather flee than face their day in court. She may be tired of having her life threatened, her cars torched or blown up, and her apartment broken into, but one thing she can say about her job is that it''s never boring... and neither is she. Despite her intentions of going straight at a job with a little more security and a bit less excitement, an old client won''t let her--he keeps leaving her threatening notes, stalking and scaring her, and making sure she needs the protection of the two men in her life--Joe Morelli, the sexy cop who''s been bedding her since high school, and Ranger, the even sexier tough guy who can take down the meanest fugitive around but has a tender spot in his heart for the plucky Ms. Plum. All Evanovich fans'' favorite characters people this sprightly caper novel, including Lula, the fast-food-chomping former hooker who''s hot to take over Stephanie''s job but really belongs in a WWE Takedown; Grandma Mazur, who''d rather go to a wake than a fancy-dress ball; Grandma Bella, the matriarch of the Morelli family whose evil eye frightens even the indomitable Stephanie; and Valerie, Stephanie''s sister, who''s about to embark on another trip to the altar. A great beach read, Eleven on Top is a guilty pleasure that will delight readers of the author''s 10 earlier novels and should win her even more fans. --Jane Adams

From Publishers Weekly
New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum (last seen in 2004''s Ten Big Ones) stumbles out of the gate due to some forced humor, but she eventually hits her usual entertaining stride in a tale that includes exploding cars, volatile wedding preparations and heated romantic entanglements. Stephanie decides to quit her job and seek less dangerous work after receiving a couple of disquieting notes. But the notes turn to threats and attacks, and she learns that her ineptitude is not confined to bounty hunting but transfers well to a succession of low-paying, sometimes humiliating jobs. After taking on Stephanie''s previous duties, sidekick Lula naturally calls on Stephanie to lend a hand so that her bounty hunting travails continue unabated. Foul-mouthed Lula proves to have some pretty brutal ideas about how to bring ''em back. Bestseller Evanovich may be performing the same tricks over and over at this point in the series (the bumbling sleuth act, sexual-tension jokes, etc.), but most readers will find this a pleasing romp.

From AudioFile
Another hilarious edge-of-the-seat, action-packed caper of Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter. This time Plum has had enough of the exploding cars and death threats associated with her job. But as she tries her hand at ridiculous menial jobs, she''s still being stalked by a killer of cunning disguise and deceit. Lorelei King gives Plum a plaintive attitude of "why is this happening to me again?" King also offers up a varied, authentic cast of supporting characters, including Plum''s two macho love interests, sexy bounty hunter Ranger and ever-faithful cop Morelli. Best of all, Plum''s Grandma Mazur and feisty Grandma Bella, with accents and age intact, deliver laugh-out-loud moments. There''s not a false step--or voice--in this eleventh Plum mystery. An irresistible bonus: King interviews Evanovich. M.T.B.

From Booklist
*Starred Review* It''s wonderful to watch both a beloved character and a cherished author grow, and both Stephanie Plum and Evanovich do not disappoint. Stephanie no longer wants to work for her cousin Vinnie, the bail bondsman in the Burg, a section of Trenton, New Jersey. Her first three tries at new gainful employment --the button factory, the local dry cleaner, and the infamous Cluck in a Bucket fast-food joint--engender firebombings, exploding cars, and even the death of a local everyone is way too happy to see go. Meanwhile, several local businessmen have disappeared, and a lowlife Stephanie has known since high school is leaving lurid and scary notes in her apartment. Although brimming with lines that will have readers howling with laughter, this installment also allows flashes of insight into the men in Stephanie''s life, Morelli the cop and Ranger the bounty hunter, as well as into Stephanie herself and her (over)extended family. It''s hard not to love a tale where Grandma Mazur, Stephanie''s mother, and Stephanie have a food fight with the remains of her sister Valerie''s (unused) wedding cake. The spectacular denouement indicts a long-running member of the cast of the Burg and allows Stephanie and her faithful readers to savor her ambivalence to the max. GraceAnne DeCandido
