Evanovich pens a deliciously satisfying sequel to her
Stephanie Plum series with "Two for the Dough." Set in contemporary
New Jersey, Stephanie is a bounty hunter. Her task? Bring in Kenny Mancuso.
It's a windfall, but catching Kenny proves a challenge.
"Two for the Dough," effortlessly captures the fun
of the first novel. Joe Morelli is back as a vice officer on the hunt for Kenny
and as a distraction for Stephanie. Grandma Mazur is just as crazy as she was
in the first novel, but now she's got a .45 magnum. Stephanie's also hired to
find 24 lost coffins by Spiro. She's got her hands full.
Stephanie's still a novice at bounty hunting, but soon
learns Kenny, along with his buddies, Moogey and Spiro, were up to smuggling
weapons. Everyone wants a piece of Kenny – his ex-girlfriend, Spiro, the cops,
and of course, Stephanie. Can she get the "dough" before Kenny
carries through on his threats?
Evanovich's writing style is easy to read and thoroughly
engaging. The supporting cast of characters also add their own spice. The plot
is very solid. Evanovich plants subtle clues that are easy to miss between the
hijinks and deadly intentions. Evanovich captures elements of humor, mystery,
crime, and romance and bundles them all up in a great story. "Two for the
Dough" is a definite page turner.
