Two For the Dough �� Janet Evanovich
Digital audio narrated by Lori Petty
3***

Book two in the series starring totally inept bounty-hunter Stephanie Plum.

What makes the series for me is the great cast of supporting characters: Ex-“ho�� and fellow bounty hunter, Lula (love her outfits!), Steph’s long-suffering mother; and especially Grandma Mazur. Then there are the competing “hunks�� in her life: mystery man Ranger, and neighborhood bad boy turned cop, Joe Morelli.

The books are fast, fun, entertaining brain candy, and provide a convenient escape from real-life problems.

Lori Petty’s performance on the audio was great. However �� I didn’t realize until after I started it that the copy that came from the library was abridged. The unabridged audio was not available, so I abandoned the abridge audio and read the text.

NOTE: I first read this long before I joined Shelfari or Good Reads. The first date read is a somewhat wild guess. I re-read it to satisfy a challenge.

NOTE: Although this would clearly fit the "comedy" tag ... I read it last month, so not counting it in the monthly tag folder.

Fun! I'm reading them for the first time and am so loving them! It helps that I happened to have a short stint in Jersey in the 80's, when I was growing up and it's so easy to picture her descriptions in my minds eye. A bit of nostalgia.
