Review: Two for the Dough

Author: Janet Evanovich
Pages: 326
Published: 1996 by Penguin Books  (first published January 1st 1991)
Rating: 3/5
Goodreads Summary:
This one's double the fun!

Bounty hunter Stephanie Pum 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 weatlhy, 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.


Review:
If you haven't read One for the Money then stop what you are doing and go read it. This book won't make much sense to you if you haven't read the first one. I think that this one was a lot more funnier than the first book, especially with Grandma Mazur. Stephanie is still a crappy bounty hunter but hey she's funny, so it's all good. So far it's hard to choose whether I'm Team Ranger or Team Morelli, but so far I just want to kick Morelli in the nuts. The book itself is light and easy to read, unlike a lot of other adult "crime" novels I have tried. This was a book I could read after a long day at work and have no problems concentrating. I hope to read the next one at some point.
