Janet studied painting at Douglass College, but that art form never quite fit, and she soon moved on to writing stories. She didn’t have instant success: she collected a big box of rejection letters. As she puts it, “When the box was full I burned the whole damn thing, crammed myself into pantyhose and went to work for a temp agency.” But after a few months of secretarial work, she managed to sell her first novel for $2,000. She immediately quit her job and started working full-time as a writer. After a dozen romance novels, she switched to mystery, and created Stephanie Plum. The rest is history. Janet’s favorite exercise is shopping, and her drug of choice is Cheeze Doodles. C. J.

From AudioFile When bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is hired to search for missing waitress Maxine Nowicki, Plum's life becomes more complicated than she ever expected. This fourth novel in the Stephanie Plum mystery series is brimming with coarse and comic humor. C.J. Critt extends the spoken word to Grandma Mazur, hot cop Joe Morelli, transvestite rock musician Sally Sweet, and a myriad of colorful characters, supporting each with wily expression. The action never lets up as danger abounds, with crisp, clear dialogue delineating the plot to the final episode.
