Two for the Dough – Janet Evanovich
Title: Two for the Dough
Author: Janet Evanovich
From Library Journal: Evanovich’s first novel, One for the Money (Macmillan, 1994), introduced Stephanie Plum, a gutsy heroine who wormed her way into a job with her bond-agent cousin Vinnie. With the aid of vice cop Joe and her Grandma Mazur, Stephanie pursues a bail jumper and knows that a vice cop wants them both. A winning adventure.
I was recommended Janet Evanovich after I expressed my interest in Meg Cabot’s Heather Wells mystery series. I’ve never been into the heavy mystery/thriller type books, but I enjoy mysteries because there are often plot twists that come together in the end, which help me to keep reading even if I’m not totally into a book.
Luckily, I didn’t need anything to make me keep reading, because I fell in love with Stephanie Plum, the heroine of the series. She’s a bounty hunter who works for her cousin, and has two men in her life (romance always tends to make things more interesting). In this book, she has a few different cases – she has to find someone who has jumped bond who allegedly killed his friend, and she also has to find missing coffins for a local funeral home. This book does a good job of explaining an introduction – when I went to the library, I kept checking for One for the Money, the first in the series, and they never seemed to have it, so I decided it would be okay to start with number two (and it was). I have since read through number eight, and have been collecting the series from used book sales and swaps so I don’t have to wait for the library to get them back in. The do start to get a little repetative, but the romances have developed by book eight, so I’m sure I’ll have a good time reading the rest once I am able to collect them all.
