These books are quick and pretty fun. Sure there is the Scooby doo type mystery afoot in them but I find I’m more drawn to the personal interactions of the characters and the kooky stuff that happens along the way such as:--- How much trouble a grandma cause at not just one but multiple viewings. Granny Mazur rocks --- Chase scene through the mall in purple heels.--- A big Buick that seems to have a mind of it’s own and can’t be stopped until it has crashed into at least one other car. Her insur...

This was just as fun and entertaining as the first book in the Stephanie Plum series. Rookie bounty hunter Stephanie Plum has her second major bail jumper in sight. Kenny Mancuso, cousin of Joe Morelli, is on the run after shooting his best friend. It seems a straight forward case to begin with, but Stephanie never expected cousin Kenny to be so crazy or to have to deal with the stuff he is caught up in. Lucky for her she has Joe, Ranger, and even Grandma Mazur to help her out! I loved the story...

Light and amusing read. 2,5 starsIn this volume Stephanie and Morelli are chasing weapon thiefs, while Grandma Mazur wreaks havoc in funeral homes.I very much enjoyed the Grandma bits of the story. The bounty hunter parts tend to get a bit repetitive with time, though.This was my third novel from the Stephanie Plum series and I think I will take a break now.

Bridget Jones the bounty hunter - round 2.Stephanie is totally inept, but luckily seems to have all the right contacts to help her out.I laughed out loud on a tram at one stage, so I gave that an extra star.Good fun and easy to read, if a bit samey at times.

I think there is no need to rehash the synopsis of "Two for the Dough." All you need to know is that it is about military ammo, caskets, and severed body parts, all delivered with a unique burg flare. Otherwise the mystery (if it can even be called that) was unremarkable and never ended with a big revelation like you always expect mysteries to end. Basically, there was no real climax.I liked this book slightly less than "One for the Money" and if I could, I'd rather give it 3.5 stars instead of

Review 3 stars to book #2 in the Stephanie Plum mystery series, Two for the Dough, by Janet Evanovich. Since I'm going back to complete reviews on all the books I've read, and there are over 20 in this series, it would be too boring to do a normal review... so I'll keep it short. A few fun things about this one:1. We're still getting to know how crazy Stephanie Plum is compared to everyone else. She's neurotic in a fun way -- sort of like I am.2. This one is all about her libido with

"I really didn't want [my late] Uncle Sandor's car. It was a 1953 powder blue Buick with a shiny white top, whitewall tires big enough to fit a backhoe, and gleaming chrome portholes. It was the same size and shape as a beluga whale, and probably got six miles to the gallon on a good day." -- Stephanie Plum, stuck with said hand-me-down after her new Jeep is impolitely stolen, on page 111Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum - still in her inaugural year 'on the job' - returns to the colorful back street...

This is a humor/cozy mystery/chick-lit, and this is the 2nd book in the Stephanie Plum series. I have listen to this whole series on audiobooks, and the narrator of the audiobooks does a great job on this book. All the books in this series will make you laugh so much, and I will say the way to read these books is by audiobooks. All the characters are so fun and developed. I love this series so much. Stephanie Plum always gets into big messes, and she will make you laugh so much.

I love Stephanie Plum!! This is probably my favorite in the series. Grandma rocks! How often do we get the chance to quote Dirty Harry?Reread—again: March 2018Since I started reading and rereading and rereading these books years ago I have seen lots of books comparing themselves to Stephanie (“a cross between Stephanie Plum and ________.”) But, there is only one Stephanie Plum and the combination of her wit with the unique side characters cannot truly be duplicated, just enjoyed. P. S. Joe think...

*** 4 *** A buddy read with the BBB buddies in December 2015Stephani is a bounty hunter in training. In her own words: Ranger and I had a sort of loose partnership. Ranger was a genuine, cool-ass, numero-uno bounty hunter. I asked him to help me because I was still learning the trade and needed all the help I could get. His participation was in the ballpark of a pity fuck." Stephani is blessed with marvelous relatives and they all reside in a hopping neighborhood: Grandma Mazur reads the ob

I was drawn back in this series by the humor and cleverness of a later book, #25. As I might have expected, Evanovich improved with practice, though this is snarky fun in its own right. It's more-or-less character driven, with blunt, funny, stupid, mouthy, sarcastic Jersey people blundering about, some of them trying to be criminals, some trying to be investigators, and all of them dissing their friends and neighbors. The plot is just barely enough to carry the story, and not really much differe...

It’s a world I am unfamiliar with—the world of Chic Lit (or, if you are over 18, I refer to as Clit Lit). Even though Janet Evanovich’s books take up at least three shelves at the local Barnes & Noble, I have never noticed. Probably because they are in the Mystery section which I pass through on my way to the Science Fiction wall. I don’t look to either side for fear of turning into a pillar of salt. But—(there is always a but) I am in a strange land under strange circumstances these days and St...

Another fun ride with Stephanie Plum, Grandma Mazur, Morelli and Ranger. Lots of Plum and Morelli in this book. I really enjoyed this book.

This is one of those times where I remembered liking a book more the first time I read it. Re-reading it, I found I'm just not a big Evanovich fan. She has a style of cutesy, short and abbreviated writing style that doesn't suit me. I will say at least it's easy to read and quick to breeze through. There IS genuine humor that works - I laughed out loud a few times - but some of it comes off as forced and a little contrived. Stephanie is motivated by the greed of success, but I don't see much els...
