Two for the Dough

Annalissa Powner 

I'm not sure I have ever laughed so hard at a mystery before. So many characters to fall in love with and each for totally different reasons. Just right about it mystery, scary plots, fun, sexual tension and humor to make for a really fun read.

Bestselling author Janet Evanovich's wildly entertaining Stephanie Plum series is top of the charts! #1 New York Times * #1 Wall Street Journal #1 Los Angeles Times * #1 Entertainment Weekly #1 Publishers Weekly * #1 Dallas Morning News #1 USA Today * #1 Booksense THIS ONE'S DOUBLE THE FUN Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is still learning the ropes at her cousin Vinnie's bail bond office, so when she sets out on the trail of Kenny Mancuso—a suspiciously wealthy, working-class Trenton boy who has just shot his best friend—the stakes are higher than ever. That Mancuso is distantly related to vice cop Joe Morelli—who is trying to beat Stephanie to the punch—only makes the hunt more thrilling. . . . Taking pointers from her bounty hunter pal, Ranger, and using her pistol-packing Grandma Mazur as a decoy, Stephanie is soon closing in on her mark. But Morelli and his libido are worthy foes. And a more sinister kind of enemy has made his first move . . . and his next move might be Stephanie's last ...in Two for the Dough.

Two for the Dough is the second book in the Stephanie Plum series. It is better developed than the first book. The characters and situations were more elaborative. Her Grandmother is featured more which is one of the highlights of this book. 

There isn't too much to say though. It's funny. It's short. It's entertaining. This is one of the series that I read in between more serious books when I just want to relax and have a chuckle.

Megan Cooper

Second installment of Stephanie Plum and as enjoyable as the first. I was going to go with three stars, but the scene with Stephanie and Morelli in the Buick bumps it up to four stars. Damn, she makes me laugh.

3.5/3.75 stars

I like the plot and the mystery/crime aspect of the book. I like Lula, Connie, Grandma, and Stephanie. However I find the men in the story hard to read. While I understand all the characters are flawed and very real, I think some of the things they say are unnecessary. However, it doesn’t stop me from enjoying the plot and the book overall. Will continue.

Two for the Dough is irresistible fun and powerful suspense entertainment from an acclaimed author who is already a national star. It’s Stephanie Plum, New Jersey’s “fugitive apprehension” agent (a.k.a. bounty hunter), introduced to the world by Janet Evanovich in the award-winning and bestselling novel One for the Money. Now Stephanie's back, armed with attitude—not to mention stun guns, defense sprays, killer flashlights, and her trusty .38, Stephanie is after a new bail jumper, Kenny Mancuso, a boy from Trenton’s burg. He’s fresh out of the army, suspiciously wealthy, and he’s just shot his best friend. With her bounty hunter pal Ranger stepping in occasionally to advise her, Stephanie staggers knee-deep in corpses and caskets as she traipses through back streets, dark alleys, and funeral parlors. And nobody knows funeral parlors better than Stephanie's irrepressible Grandma Mazur, a lady whose favorite pastime is grabbing a front-row seat at a neighborhood wake. So, Stephanie uses Grandma as a cover to follow leads, but loses control when Grandma warms to the action, packing a cool pistol. Much to the family’s chagrin, Stephanie and Granny may soon have the elusive Kenny in their sights. Fast-talking, slow-handed vice cop Joe Morelli joins in the case, since the prey happens to be his young cousin. And if the assignment calls for an automobile stakeout for two with the woman who puts his libido in overdrive, Morelli’s not one to object. Low on expertise but learning fast, high on resilience, and despite the help she gets from friends and relatives, Stephanie eventually must face the danger alone when embalmed body parts begin to arrive on her doorstep and she’s targeted for a nasty death by the most loathsome adversary she's ever encountered. Another case like this and she'll be a real pro.
