Excellent start!

I got this book after I had already read a few in the series and it was great to go back and see how the whole thing started.
Stephanie Plum is our heroine and she gets downsized out of her job. Most other jobs she can find, don't pay well or she's not good at, when she finds that her yecky cousin Vinny, has a bail bonds office and pays well to find bounty, she decides to give it a shot. So what if she hates guns and these people have the annoying habit of blowing up her cars??? For a few thousand a find, she can pay off her bills and get that cute pair of shoes.
Both her and Vinny knows she needs a mentor so he introduces her to the hottest and best bounty hunter around, Ranger. Who has a habit of calling her "babe" and makes her melt, when he's within 2 feet of her.
The three books fill in some of the back story of Lula, Vinny, Joe, Connie and Grandma, her parents, returning characters to all the following books.
Now that I have read the entire series I can say these first 3 aren't as well written as the last 3-4 in the series but it does flesh out the characters well for the reader.
All these books are light reading, funny with a bit of a mystery in each story. As the series goes on each book gets more complex and fun for the reader. You care about these characters and always want to get her "man" both the bounty and either Ranger or Joe.
Buying 3 Plums in One is a great deal, as all of the first 3 novels are in here. Good place to start the series or to purchase to complete your series.
I hope at some point they make these into movies or a TV series as it's too much fun to leave on the page!
