A friend recently came to me, very excited because she discovered Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series novels. She lent me the first three and I read One for the Money. It was a quick, fun read with characters that can hold a reader's interest. The writing is not great, but the story was good and didn't 'cheat'. I will continue with the series, but not one right after the other because I quickly tire of a series that way.
