It’s Stephanie Plum, New Jersey’s “fugitive apprehension” agent (aka bounty hunter), introduced to the world by Janet Evanovich in the award-winning novel One for the Money. Now Stephanie’s back, armed with attitude — not to mention stun guns, defense sprays, killer flashlights, and her trusty .38, Stephanie is after a new bail jumper, Kenny Mancuso, a boy from Trenton’s burg. He’s fresh out of … He’s fresh out of the army, suspiciously wealthy, and he’s just shot his best friend.
With her bounty hunter pal Ranger stepping in occasionally to advise her, Stephanie staggers kneedeep in corpses and caskets as she traipses through back streets, dark alleys, and funeral parlors.
And nobody knows funeral parlors better than Stephanie’s irrepressible Grandma Mazur, a lady whose favorite pastime is grabbing a front-row seat at a neighborhood wake. So Stephanie uses Grandma as a cover to follow leads, but loses control when Grandma warms to the action, packing a cool pistol. Much to the family’s chagrin, Stephanie and Granny may soon have the elusive Kenny in their sights.
Fast-talking, slow-handed vice cop Joe Morelli joins in the case, since the prey happens to be his young cousin. And if the assignment calls for an automobile stakeout for two with the woman who puts his libido in overdrive, Morelli’s not one to object.
Low on expertise but learning fast, high on resilience, and despite the help she gets from friends and relatives, Stephanie eventually must face the danger alone when embalmed body parts begin to arrive on her doorstep and she’s targeted for a nasty death by the most loathsome adversary she’s ever encountered. Another case like this and she’ll be a real pro.
Two for the Dough is irresistible fun and powerful suspense entertainment from an acclaimed author who is already a national star.

I love Janet Evanovich, I have all of the Stephanie Plum series! Two for the Dough happens to be my very favorite!!
Grandma is at her very best (or is it her worst). The characters are lovable and down right hysterical. If you want a book that makes you laugh out loud this is the one for you!! I did not want it to end!! It has comedy, mystery, and romance what else could you want in a book??
If you’ve not met Stephanie, it’s time you did. She’s funny, and realistic, and cannot keep a car. Then there is her men problem. Joe or Ranger……it’s a toss up. And she has a hamster…..you’ve got to love a cute little hamster.
#2 in a very special series!
Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is after another bail jumper, Kenny Mancuso. He is accused of shooting a friend of his in the knee and, when the friend is murdered, he is the prime suspect. Once again Joe Morelli is on the case and they are butting heads as they search for leads. Eventually they realize that there is a lot more to the case – guns missing from the Fort Braddock, the Army base where Kenny was last stationed.
LOVED it. This is the book that got me started on the Stephanie Plum books. I knew nothing about them but could not resist that cover!!!!
Loved it. Really like the characters.
These books are always fun to read. Not the book series you want if you’re looking for deep, meaningful texts. This is strictly FUN reading. I have been reading this series for years, and they never fail to entertain me.
Her early books were really funny
Very enjoyable, I laughed out loud
I love the entire Stephanie Plum Series. It’s a great easy read!
I am never disappointed in anything Janet Evanovich writes. You can’t go wrong with her characters and plots. I read them over and over. Thank you, Janet.
I LOVE this series!!!!
I think that I have read all 25 of these books but I think the first five were the best. Even so i continue to enjoy Stephanie Plum., the Berg and Lulu.
Great series. Fast paced with romance
Love Stephanie and who doesn’t want morelli and ranger for a book boyfriend? Have read the entire series at least twice. It’s so good
This was hilarious. I read the first 15 of this series in 4 weeks. I couldn’t put them down.
The characters are great. It is a fun read
Love this series
