    Stephanie Plum is thinking her career as a fugitive apprehension agent has run its course. She's been shot at, spat at, cussed at, fire-bombed, mooned, and attacked by dogs. Time for a change, Stephanie thinks. Time to find the kind of job her mother can tell her friends about without making the sign of the cross.

    So Stephanie Plum quits. Resigns. No looking back. No changing her mind. She wants something safe and normal. As it turns out, jobs that are safe and normal for most people aren't necessarily safe and normal for Stephanie Plum. Trouble follows her, and the kind of trouble she had at the bail bonds office can't compare to the kind of trouble she finds herself facing now. Her past has come back to haunt her. She's stalked by a maniac returned from the grave for the sole purpose of putting her into a burial plot of her own. He's killed before, and he'll kill again if given the chance. Caught between staying far away from the bounty hunter business and staying alive, Stephanie reexamines her life and the possibility that being a bounty hunter is the solution rather than the problem. After disturbingly brief careers at the button factory, Kan Klean Dry Cleaners, and Cluck-in-a-Bucket, Stephanie takes an office position in security, working for Ranger, the sexiest, baddest bounty hunter and businessman on two continents. It might not be the job she'll keep for the rest of her life, but for now it gives her the technical access she needs to find her stalker. Tempers and temperatures rise as competition ratchets up between the two men in her life---her on-again, off-again boyfriend, tough Trenton cop Joe Morelli, and her bad-ass boss, Ranger. Can Stephanie Plum take the heat? Can you?

    Between the adventure and the adversity there's attitude, and Stephanie Plum's got plenty in her newest misadventure from Janet Evanovich, Eleven on Top.

      More fun with Stephanie Plum ... but ... marry Morelli, already!
    • 5/5
      Just when you wonder what she is going to do next in her bounty hunting. Stephanie quits and attempts to go work for the button factory. Wow, I was shocked at that one. It was a nice twist in this series and I always wondered if she was going to end up working where she is now working. So much fun in this one that I cannot wait to start reading the next one.
    • 2/5
      Light hearted as ever. The conclusion wasn't a massive surprise but fun as usual.
    • 5/5
      Hands down my favorite book series and I love the flare on the ending scene in this one!
    • 5/5
      I listened to the 11th one and yep another good one, highly recommend
    • 4/5
      This is my first Stephanie Plum book but won’t be my last. I listened to the audio version of this while I daily walks with the dog and loved the storyline. It also was “performed” very well. (Borrowed audio copy from my local library.)
    • 4/5
      A surprisingly good time of a book for both mystery and non-mystery lovers! I'm glad a co-worker gifted this book to me. Otherwise, I would have never picked it up on my own.
    • 4/5
      Evanovich draws in a character from a previous book in the series. Thought to be dead from a fire, the son of the Stiva Funeral Home director comes back to haunt Stephanie with creepy notes and bombs. Yes, cars driven by bounty hunter Stephanie Plum continue to meet disastrous ends in this installment of the Plum series. The tug of war between the men in Stephanie's life find a tenuous truce while both Morelli and Ranger struggle to keep her alive. Death, mayhem, and hilarious situations abound in Eleven on Top.
    • 4/5
      Stephanie Plum has decided to a career change from fugitive apprehension agent to ?? She takes various low-level jobs but doesn't seem to last very long or even at all! Disaster seems to be her partner everywhere she goes: Kan Klean Dry Cleaners, Cluck-in-a-Bucket, the button factory.It also seems that a past 'client' is tracking her with murder on his mind...her murder. Looks like her past intends to be her present. Trying to avoid this person and get some sort of a regular job keeps Stephanie on the move. Also the men in her life who are vying for her attention.This series is fast moving and hilarious to read. I started it in May but didn't really pick it up and read it till mid July. I think I needed a jolt of Stephanie Plum to make me grin.
    • 1/5
      Ranger's voice may not be enough to keep me listening to these books. The "plot" was even weaker than the previous installment.
    • 5/5
      BOTTOM-LINE:One of the funniest of the series without being ridiculous.PLOT OR PREMISE:Stephanie's had enough of the bounty hunter business, so she quits and takes a series of jobs around Jersey. Meanwhile, someone's hunting her with threats, shots, and car bombs. Could it be the undertaker's son?.WHAT I LIKED:All the various jobs going to heck in a handbasket are a hoot, not to mention Stephanie telling people she plays the cello, which they now want her to do at the wedding. And things really heat up when Stephanie starts working at Rangeman..WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:The plot with a bunch of missing businessmen takes a long time to gel, but not really a problem..DISCLOSURE:I received no compensation, not even a free copy, in exchange for this review. I am not personal friends with the author, nor do I follow her on social media.
    • 4/5
      Another enjoyable Stephanie Plum novel. Very funny.
    • 3/5
      As always, the characters were wonderful. However, the plot for this installment fell a bit flat. Oh well, can't win 'em all. I will still continue with this Stephanie Plum series.
    • 4/5
      This was another fun mindless episode in the Stephanie Plum series. Stephanie decides she's had enough bounty hunting and tries to quit. Of course, hilarious trouble follows her wherever she goes. The best part of this episode was Lula trying to take Stephanie's place as a bounty hunter. Grandma Mazur made her usual hilarious editions to the situation and Stephanie's sister made a few funny additions, too. Great mindless fun as usual.
    • 4/5
      Ever since I've read this I've been pretending I work for Range Man, Inc. I might go as far as to start wearing all black and tucking my 38 Special into my waistband when I go to work. Even though I work from home. Even though I'm not actually researching fugitives instead of accounting. I might have a slight problem with using fiction as escapism, yes?
    • 5/5
      My Twitter review (140 characters or less):

      Swoon filled. My sexual tension is rising. Good plot. Extremely funny. Intense moments. Janet Evanovich does it again! (Ranger is still bae)
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this one. Lula is still over the top, but the mystery was good, and having Stephanie quit her job was interesting. This book used some nice variations on the basic themes of the previous novels in the series.
    • 4/5
      A good one! As always love the characters and listening on audio with Lorelei King ! Stephanie Plum is thinking her career as fugitive apprehension agent has run its course.

      She’s been shot at, spat at, cussed at, fire-bombed, mooned, and attacked by dogs. Time for a change, Stephanie thinks. Time to find the kind of job her mother can tell her friends about without making the sign of the cross. So Stephanie Plum quits. Resigns. No looking back. No changing her mind. She wants something safe and normal. As it turns out, jobs that are safe and normal for most people aren’t necessarily safe and normal for Stephanie Plum. You will fall in love with the funny colorful characters!
    • 3/5
      With Stephanie no longer working as a bounty hunter, this installment was a tad different from the other books in the series. She still got in all sorts of trouble, and ended up covered in food and garbage on several occasions, so it wasn't that different. It seemed to me that there was a bit more Ranger and Joe in this one and a little less Lula and Grandma Mazur. I can't say I like that. It was still good, and funny, and all the things the other books are, but I didn't find myself laughing as much as in the previous books. I hope it's not a sign of things to come. The plot was ok, though I wasn't particularly surprised by the ending. I'm hoping Steph will have her old job (and more Lula) back for Twelve Sharp.
    • 3/5
      It is always fun to listen to a Stephanie plum adventure. Much is the same. Lots of sex with Morelli and steamy innuendo from ranger. Stephanie quits bounty hunting and tries other jobs that end in disaster. Fired for being late at button factory. Lula fights with momma macaroni at dry cleaners and she gets blown up in Stephanie's car. She burns down cluck in the bucket so ends up working for Ranger. She gets threatening notes and thinks it is spiro steva, but it ends up being his father. Morelli gets run over with a broken leg and Valerie and clown decide to not get married.
    • 4/5
      Tired of the bounty hunter life, Stephanie quits. Of course, as disaster follows her everywhere, she is unable to keep the jobs she finds: button factory worker, dry cleaners, and fast-food joint. Granted, her job troubles are amplified by the killer dogging her every step… Steph’s job with Ranger (which does last) makes for very steamy moments, and the cast of characters is hilarious as always, but I am getting sick of the whole, Morelli or Ranger question…
    • 4/5
      After reading a couple of the previous books I was worried about the direction was taking but this one reaffirmed my love for this series. I liked getting to see Stephanie try her hand at other jobs besides being a bounty hunter. I am really interested in seeing whether she lasts working for Ranger.
    • 3/5
      Not my favorite Plum so far (that would be Seven Up)...it's definitely lacking since she's not in bounty hunter mode.
    • 2/5
      I finally got rid of all of these books. I'm tired of Stephanie never changing. Tired of the formula.
    • 4/5
      I was starting to get a little fed up with Stephanie...and then she quits her "bounty hunter" job. The series of jobs she gets and how each of them end dramatically and disastrously make for about the most hilarious reading I've done in a long time. Evanovich has redeemed herself with this one. It might be the best book of the series I've read, after the first.
    • 5/5
      Just when you wonder what she is going to do next in her bounty hunting. Stephanie quits and attempts to go work for the button factory. Wow, I was shocked at that one. It was a nice twist in this series and I always wondered if she was going to end up working where she is now working. So much fun in this one that I cannot wait to start reading the next one.
    • 4/5
      Not her best work, but still some funny scenes.
    • 3/5
      This is one of the more decent of the series...certainly more believable than #10. Like all these books, this is an episode of humorous mind candy that will quickly blend into the rest of the series, but fun for all that.
    • 5/5
      Good fun with her family and friends. Good balance with the men in her life. Kept the mystery going. Enjoyed it to the end.
    • 3/5
      I think I've reached my limit on Stephanie Plum. Someone is trying to kill her AGAIN. She blows up several cars AGAIN. And it was not her fault AGAIN. She can't make up her mind between Ranger and Joe STILL. Her whacky antics with Lula gave me a few laughs but I'm ready for a little growth from Stephanie and it's just not happening. I'm not sure I will try the next one or not. Unless I hear that there is something different I'll probably just pass on it. (Grade: C)
