Publisher's summary

Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is back, packing a whole lot of attitude. This time around, she's on the trail of Kenny Mancuso, a boy from the working-class burg of Trenton, New Jersey, who has just shot his best friend. Fresh out of the Army and suspiciously wealthy, Mancuso's also distantly related to Joe Morelli, a vice cop with questionable ethics, a libido in permanent overdrive, and a habit of horning in on Stephanie's investigations.

Entertaining

Great read when you need something to make you laugh. Perfect after finishing “The Tattooist of Auschwitz” and “Infidel” leaving me in a dark frame of mind. Stephanie Plum is a Jersey Girl extraordinaire. Love all the characters!!! Would make an awesome Netflix series.

Excellent

Very entertaining book. The reader does well changing her voice for the various characters, but she sounds much older than Stephanie Plum and that’s a bit distracting.

Very Funny

Would you consider the audio edition of Two for the Dough to be better than the print version?

No, I like them both the same.

It is very funny

What about C. J. Critt???s performance did you like?

C.J. Critt has a nice voice and she brings the story to life.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

no

Any additional comments?

I started reading the books when they first came out and loved them they only thing I have a problem with is the constant use of the F word. It was bad enough just reading it in the book but listening to the book and hearing it so often makes me wonder if I really want to continue listening to the rest of her books.

Hillarious!!!!!!

What made the experience of listening to Two for the Dough the most enjoyable?

The sexual tension between Stephani and Moreli. All the characters that make up Stephanies' family.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Two for the Dough?

When Stephanie finds a cat in Rex's cage. Thank goodness for the soupcan!

What does C. J. Critt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

So funny how she does the mother. And yet kinda tuns me on when she does Moreli and Ranger. Very confusing, but brilliant.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Laugh and laugh and laugh.

Any additional comments?

I am planning on listening to the entire series.

Even Better than One for the Money

I thoroughly enjoyed the second book in the Stephanie Plum series. The first one started a bit slow for me, even though it picked up nicely. But Two for the Dough kept me interested straight through with humor, action, a smidge of romance, and Stephanie's hilarious grandma. I'm hoping the rest of the series is this good, as I'm on to book three...
