Two for the Dough

By: Janet Evanovich

Narrated by: Lorelei King

From #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dirty Thirty and the “most popular mystery writer alive” (The New York Times), Janet Evanovich’s Two for the Dough is irresistibly fun and powerful suspense entertainment featuring beloved bounty hunter Stephanie Plum.

It's the return of Stephanie Plum, New Jersey’s “fugitive apprehension” agent (a.k.a. bounty hunter), introduced to us in the award-winning and bestselling 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 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 knee-deep 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.

Declined from the 1st

It was cozy only because I knew the characters from book 1. But the sexual tension between Joe Morelli and Stephanie gives me the creeps, and there’s no getting away from it… the creepiness continues. The performance of this narrator is better compared to the alternative only because of the heavy breathing. Besides that I kinda missed the other narrator’s character voices.

Team Stephanie

I adore these books! The characters are so much fun and both narrators have done a great job. I appreciate that they’ve been reread and unabridged only because I never want the adventures of Steph & company to end.

Yay for Lorelei King!

Yay for Lorelei King! I’ve listened to the originals several times but once you hear Lorelei King be the voice of Stephanie, Joe, Ranger, Grandma, & Lula you really can’t hear anyone else do it.

The narration by Ms King is amazing!

I truly enjoyed the storyline and family dynamic between Stephanie and her parents and grandmother.

Great Narration

Great Story by Janet Evanovich and Great Narration by Lorelei King. King is my favorite narrator.
