Product Description
Product Description
Kenny Mancuso shot his childhood buddy Moogey Bues and then jumped bail. Now bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is on the case to track Kenny down.
Then someone finished Moogey off, Kenny can't be found, twenty-four coffins are missing, and there's some ex-army heavy artillery roaming the streets. And Joe Morelli - the cop with more than a professional interest in her every move - is tailing Stephanie.
With a healthy disregard for the law, and an unhealthy dependence on marshmallow hot chocolate, Stephanie's a match for anyone - even Morelli. That is, until her eccentric grandmother goes AWOL and little pieces of corpses start to disappear . . .

Stephanie Plum is an appealing heroine. She acts tough, but in reality she's all too human. The plot is complicated enough to keep the reader engaged, and the action never lets up. There were several parts I thought I had figured out only to learn later I was wrong. And Grandma Mazur is a riot as she gets more involved in the story.
It's easy to see why these books are so popular - an appealing main character and fun stories. If you're looking for purely escapist fiction, this is the series for you.
In Two for the Dough (the second book in the series), Stephanie is after Kenny Mancuso, a relative of Morelli's and Morelli is everywhere. Before the book is over, he makes his move. And the results will keep you laughing for days!
In addition to the wacky romance, naturally there's a mystery, lots of bad guys, and great action. Stephanie is still good at finding the missing felon, but like in One for the Money, she can't seem to apprehend him. She's better armed this time, but it doesn't help her with Mancuso.
Her Grandmother Mazur becomes her sidekick, because the search for Mancuso turns out to be connected to mortuaries as 24 caskets turn up missing. Grandmother Mazur hasn't missed a viewing in years, so this is right up her alley. Somehow, these wandering caskets are also connected to Mancuso's shooting of his best friend, and missing munitions from an Army base where Mancuso was stationed. The missing munitions are being used to kill cops all over New Jersey.
Janet Evanovich is able to draw humor from the most unlikely places, such as animal droppings and death. This book has more mortuary humor in it than all other books combined that I have read in my life.
You'll find out what the stylish Jersey girl turned bounty hunter was wearing in 1996, and the best ways to track down a missing felon. In the meantime, you'll have more laughs than in most comedies.
While you're filling your day with chuckles from Trenton's burg, you should think about the possibilities of improving your relationships with those you have known for a long time. A good way to start is by improving the way you communicate with these people. You may find that they change the way they communicate with you, as a result. As you think about that, notice how much of the relationships in the book are less than perfect because people haven't worked on improving them.
Enjoy your improved relationships! If you'd like some ideas, see Relationship Rescue.
Stephanie is also hired by local undertaker Spiro to track down 24 stolen army surplus caskets, and coincidentally, Spiro was also a friend of Kenny. As the plot thickens, Stephanie realises that Kenny is a psycho, and that there is a lot more going on here than meets the eye. And, as if enough isn't going on, she has to deal with an energetic Granny Mazur, and a very interested Morelli.
Stephanie Plum is an independant woman, fighting bad hair as well as the criminal underworld and her attraction to Morelli. She will make you laugh, as will her gun-toting, funeral-attending grandmother. These books just keep getting better.
