Two for the Dough

Stephanie Plum, Book 2

De: Janet Evanovich

Narrado por: CJ Critt

From #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dirty Thirty and “most popular mystery writer alive” (The New York Times), Janet Evanovich’s Two for the Dough is irresistibly fun and powerful suspense entertainment featuring beloved bounty hunter Stephanie Plum.

It's the return of Stephanie Plum, New Jersey’s “fugitive apprehension” agent (a.k.a. bounty hunter), introduced to us 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.

Entertaining

Great read when you need something to make you laugh. Perfect after finishing “The Tattooist of Auschwitz” and “Infidel” leaving me in a dark frame of mind. Stephanie Plum is a Jersey Girl extraordinaire. Love all the characters!!! Would make an awesome Netflix series.

Excellent

Very entertaining book. The reader does well changing her voice for the various characters, but she sounds much older than Stephanie Plum and that’s a bit distracting.

Awesome

I love everything about these books. Funny, suspenseful, strong female lead. The narrator is perfect for the story as well.

Great book

My. Favorite books are the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich. The reader of this book, CJ critt, is an amazing reader as well. I really hear the different people's personalities as she reads the book. I highly recommend the series to anybody!

Any additional comments?

I started reading the books when they first came out and loved them they only thing I have a problem with is the constant use of the F word. It was bad enough just reading it in the book but listening to the book and hearing it so often makes me wonder if I really want to continue listening to the rest of her books.

Hillarious!!!!!!

What made the experience of listening to Two for the Dough the most enjoyable?

The sexual tension between Stephani and Moreli. All the characters that make up Stephanies' family.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Two for the Dough?

When Stephanie finds a cat in Rex's cage. Thank goodness for the soupcan!

What does C. J. Critt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

So funny how she does the mother. And yet kinda tuns me on when she does Moreli and Ranger. Very confusing, but brilliant.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Laugh and laugh and laugh.

Any additional comments?

I am planning on listening to the entire series.

Even Better than One for the Money

I thoroughly enjoyed the second book in the Stephanie Plum series. The first one started a bit slow for me, even though it picked up nicely. But Two for the Dough kept me interested straight through with humor, action, a smidge of romance, and Stephanie's hilarious grandma. I'm hoping the rest of the series is this good, as I'm on to book three...

Fun Read!

Loved it! Realistic, relatable and super fun read. Narrator does a great job.
