Two for the Dough

De: Janet Evanovich

Narrado por: Lori Petty

Stephanie Plum once again takes to the mean streets of Trenton, NJ, armed with attitude (not to mention stun guns, defense sprays, killer flashlights, and her untrustworthy .38) to find Kenny Mancuso, who recently left the army, inadvertently shot his best friend, and is on the run in violation of a bond. Aided by her tough bounty hunter couch and her irrepressible Grandma Mazur, Stephanie once again forms a rocky alliance with fast talking, slow-handed vice cop Joe Morelli for the tumultuous chase through back alleys and Grandma's favorite funeral parlors.

Witty, fresh, and full of suprises, Two for the Dough is the Stephanie Plum sequel fans have been waiting for.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A Jersey girl with Bette Midler's mouth and Cher's fashion sense...Who could resist this doll?" (New York Times Book Review)

I like Lori Petty as a reader

I listened to the first book unabridged read by Critt...it was good but I like Lori Party's voice. Her accent makes Two for The Dough sound more "real".... to me...(my sons' father's paternal grandfather was an Italian immigrant and the family settled in New Jersey).
I am curious to know if there is an unabridged version of this book though since it appears Ms Petty read an abridged version of the first book. hmmmmm....
wish I had purchased the longer version though....maybe I can purchase it and compare before purchasing other books in this series

Two keeps on rollin'

One was pretty great and two keeps the momentum going. I love these characters and love the twists in two. How fun! Can't wait to read three!

I love this series!

I first got into this series at age 13 when I over heard my grandmother listening to the audio tapes I'm 29 now and the characters have always stick with me! I can't wait to finish the series

humor

loved the accent of the narrator
plot was fast moving interspersed with funny quips

fun series

Lori Petty is perfect for these first 3 books. I wish she did them all.

I laughed till I cried

This book was recommended to me as a nice change from the serious mysteries I usually read. What a surprise. I loved this book. It was entertaining, funny and full of surprises. Down loaded the next book and can't wait to start it.

great read

Would you listen to Two for the Dough again? Why?

no, because i have already heard the story and am moving onto the next chapters of the series

What other book might you compare Two for the Dough to and why?

and stephanie plum books

Have you listened to any of Lori Petty’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no but i really like her

TOOOO funny to be a bedtime book

Sometimes the second book in a series is a letdown. In my case I had to warm to the first book and with this one I was on fire with laughter right off the bat.

Stephanie Plum breaks all the rules and is the least likely bounty hunter of all time. She is down-to-earth and gets herself into hilarious situations as she just plods ahead not really knowing what she is doing.

Do you remember Vicki Lawrence as "Mama" from the Carol Burnett show? In this book Stephanie enlists Grandma Mazur to help her search funeral homes for the allusive Kenny Mancusco and 26 missing caskets. I was rolling on the floor with laughter. This is NOT a bed time book. I pictured “Mama” with her white wig as crazy Grandma Mazur. This is a hilarious comedy in it’s purest form with the mystery on the side.

Detective Joe Morelli and Grandma Mazur are marvelous supporting characters with a lot of depth. I can hardly wait to read the next Stephanie adventure and I hope both of these characters are a part of it.

Fun Fun Fun

I Love Janet Evanovich. I never read this type of ?lighthearted fiction? until I was stuck on a long flight and I ended up laughing lots along the way. A good time and I have fun visualizing the scenes. Stephanie Plum is a great character- her life and her family is an enjoyable mess.

Funny

I thought Janet Evanovich was her usual funny self.
