Summary: Hasn't Hollywood read these great books?
Comment: I'm getting to like Stephanie Plum, Trenton's most unlikely bounty-hunter. I especially like Grandma Mazur, Trenton's answer to Dirty Harry! Stephanie could stick with the small-time bond-jumpers, but they don't pay enough, so she feels the need to make a comparatively big score by bringing in Kenny Mancuso, charged with shooting his cousin Moogey in the knee. But then Moogey gets dead and the odds go up. And stolen Army weapons enter the picture. And so does Joe Morelli, one of Trenton's finest and also Kenny's cousin. It's a complicated plot but Evanovich handles it very well and with considerable wry humor. She's also very good at delineating the scarier characters and assorted sociopaths who crop up. What I want to know is, why hasn't there been a movie made from this series? The scene in the beauty parlor and the last scene in the funeral home basement would make terrific footage. I see someone like Renee Zellweger as Stephanie. . . .

Summary: Funeral homes never sounded like so much fun
Comment: Janet Evanovich knows how to write. You probably wonder why I need to put that? Well, it's because the Stephanie Plum series is so addictive. You pick up one and devour it and are on to the next one. Before long you are complaining about the fact that the newest installment isn't out yet and you are preordering 6 months in advance just in hopes you'll get it quicker.
This book is book 2 in the series of course and it's a wild ride. Stephanie is not only looking for Kenny Mancuso(nut job #1), but ends up being babysitter/guard to Spiro Stepson of Grandma Mazur's favorite mortician at Stiva's Funeral Home. That alone should tell you, you are in for laughs.
Add in the hormones gone haywire while Stephanie is in the vicinity of Joe Morelli and the tactful way she always deals with him and you are ready for a fun time.
These books keep me coming back for more. Janet makes the characters come to life. You are either laughing your head off or women are swooning over the two men in Stephanies life Joe Morelli and Ranger aka Ricardo Carlos Manoso.
Grab your kit kats and tasty cakes to settle in for a fun ride you'll want to share with family and friends.

Summary: Way to go for TWO FOR THE DOUGH!
Comment: TWO FOR THE DOUGH by Janet Evanovich
Stephanie Plum deals with dead bodies and mortuaries in TWO FOR THE DOUGH, the second book in the series created by Janet Evanovich. In this sequel to ONE FOR THE MONEY, Stephanie cruises the town of Trenton with Grandmother Mazur in tow, as she seeks out the mortuaries all over town in search of clues to missing person Kenny Mancuso, who is accused of having shot a gas attendant in the knees.
Kenny is Stephanie's latest missing person in her new job as bounty hunter. Kenny also happens to be a distant cousin of Joe Morelli, a vice cop that Stephanie has known "intimately" since childhood, and who creates all sorts of conflicting feelings within her. As in the first book, Morelli helps Stephanie through this case. In this sequel, however, Grandmother Mazur comes along for the ride, Stephanie's mother tries to set her up with Spiro the mortician, and at one point her mother thinks that Morelli is Stephanie's boyfriend.
I'm really enjoying these books by Janet Evanovich. These are beach reads, not meant for serious reading. I find myself chuckling as I read these books, following the crazy antics of Stephanie Plum as she tries her best to retrieve these missing criminals. Her fear of guns always comes into play, and this time around Grandmother Mazur plays a big role as her sidekick. (Grandmother Mazur is not afraid to use her gun)!
I give this book another big recommendation. Expect nothing more than a few laughs and fun times, and you'll want to read the rest of the series. For those looking for more seriously written legal thrillers, stick with Grisham and Patterson.
