Book Reviews of Two for the Dough (Stephanie Plum, No. 2)

Book Review: Cops and Comedy
Summary: 4 Stars

I generally read murder mystery series with recurring characters because I like how the character evolves over time. Although I don't expect comic relief in a murder mystery(and most have very dark characters) Janet Evanovich has taken the genre in a new direction. Her Stephanie Plum books are fun, easy to read, and down right hilarious and by the way - they also include murder. If I was to compare Evanovich's character to another in the same genre I would compare Plum to Archie McAnally, Lawrence Sander's Palm Beach Detective. If you want deep reading you may consider something more like the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly but if you enjoy reading and laughing you should read this entire series. Grandma Mazur is a hoot. One suggestion though, read the first book to see if you like it and then you better just order the whole series because if you read like me you'll be going through a book every couple of days.

Summary of Two for the Dough (Stephanie Plum, No. 2)

That Jersey girl is Stephanie Plum, New Jersey's "fugitive apprehension" agent (aka bounty hunter), introduced to the world by Janet Evanovich in the award-winning novel One for the Money.

Now Stephanie's back, armed with attitude -- plus stun guns, defense sprays, killer flashlights, and her trusty .38. She is after Kenny Mancuso, a hometown boy who is fresh out of the army and suspiciously wealthy, and has just shot his best friend.

With her pal Ranger advising her occasionally, Stephanie staggers knee-deep in corpses and caskets in back alleys and funeral parlors. Fortunately -- or unfortunately -- nobody knows funeral parlors better than Stephanie's irrepressible Grandma Mazur, whose favorite pastime is grabbing a front-row seat at a neighborhood wake. So Stephanie uses her as a cover, but loses control when Grandma starts packing a cool pistol.

Vice cop Joe Morelli joins in the case too, since the prey happens to be his young cousin. And if the assignment calls for a stakeout with a woman who puts his libido in overdrive, Morelli's not one to object.

But despite help from family and friends, Stephanie faces danger alone when embalmed body parts arrive on her doorstep and she's targeted by her most loathsome adversary yet. Another case like this and she'll be a real pro.
