Eventually Stephanie returns to the job, and Lula goes back to being the file clerk and Stephanie’s sometime partner. By the 11th book, Lula has worked her way up into being a full time bounty hunter and takes over for Stephanie after she quits working as a bounty hunter. Lula is a poor file clerk, and frequently accompanies Stephanie when she is going after bonded clients who haven’t shown up for their court appearance (known colloquially as Failure to Appear, or FTAs). The other file clerk quit after Vinnie attempted to sexually harass her. She reappears in later books after she begins to work as a file clerk at the bail bonds office. According to the reader poll on Evanovich’s official site, the favored actress to portray Lula is Mo’Nique. Stephanie refers to her as a plus-sized black woman who attempts to shove a size 16 body into size 10 spandex. In Two For the Dough, she becomes Vinnie’s filing clerk and Stephanie’s sometimes partner. Lula was introduced as a minor character working as a hooker in the first book in the series, One For the Money. So, who will be playing everyone’s favorite gun-toting, spandex wearing, ex-hooker? All we need now is a Grandma Mazur and we are done, the rest don’t REALLY matter. We have Stephanie, Morelli, Ranger, and now Lula. We have a Lula!!! This is what I have been waiting for.
