Book Description:
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.Members who requested this book also requested:
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.

This is one of the best in the Stephanie Plum series. (I've only read through 5 so far, though!) If you want a mystery that is laugh-out-loud funny, this series delivers. My husband asked to read them after hearing me laugh so often. Now HE'S hooked! (And that's saying a lot!)

I'm very happy that it took me so long to find Stephanie Plum. Now I can zoom through the next ten or so books since they've already been published! This one has the brash, rash Trenton, NJ bounty hunter tangling with undertakers and arms dealers with the help of Grandma Mazur and sexy Joe Morelli.

I love Stephanie! I think Lula, thr "Ho" turned file clerk who always wants to put a cap up someone's ass, is hilarious. I love the fact that you can almost taste the New Jersey smog. I love the daft granny! Sometimes books you can read in a day - just for a laugh are worth as much as pulitzer winners.

Another good one by Evanovich. I enjoy how she keeps you on your toes and the sexual tension between Stephanie Plum and Joe Morelli. I also like how she intertwines the books yet you can still read them stand alone if you like.

This is the 2nd in the series with Stephanie Plum, the inept bounty hunter, her two love interests - Joe and Ranger - and her eccentric family, including the infamous Grandma Mazur. Great reading and a surefire belly laugh in several places.

GREAT!!! I am very excited I started reading this series. Bk1 was great and this one was even better. It has suspense, a little flirtation thrown in and a crazy grandmother! You couldn't ask for more!
Very excited to read Bk3 in the series!

The first book thrilled me and I wondered if the story would be consistently entertaining through book Two. Well, doubt no more. It just keeps getting better. I am loving these characters. Grandma Mazur is a prize. Even more fun than the first.

Valesca L. (Wonderful serie!!! A neighbor gave me all 12 books to read and I'm glad I started with the first, I'm hooked! Already I'm at the third! ;-)
Stephanie is just a very funny, likeable character, her family amuses me (mostly the granny!) and the interaction with Joe Morelli is just great to follow. ;-)
Louella G. (Wow - what a great read - I love books that suck you in and you just have to finish reading it. Love the whole plum series so far.
Barbara L. from LITTLE SILVER, NJ wrote on 7/8/2008...If you haven't read any of the Stephanie Plum novels - what have you been waiting for? She is one of the funniest, most appealing heroines to walk the mean streets in a long while. In this book Stephanie is on the trail of crazy Kenny Mancuso, aided by her tough bounty hunting pal, Ranger and her funeral hopping Grandma Mazur and knee deep in corpses.

Janis K. ("Two for the Dough" is book two in the Stephanie Plum series, and the sheen has not yet worn off the adventures of the world's luckiest inept bounty hunter.
Stephanie has the uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time and still have everything go wrong. The simplest assignments turn into life threatening situations when she's around and when paired with her pistol packing Grandma, it's mayhem.
She is suppose to track down Kenny Mancuso, who happens to be related to Joe Morelli, her love/hate acquaintance since childhood. Kenny has allegedly shot his pal Moogey in the kneecap, and failed to appear in court, so it's up to the bounty hunter to get her man before cousin Vinnie pulls the case.
Of course, nothing is as simple as it seems, and soon she's coffin hunting, visiting funeral parlors and just to make life interesting, body parts keep turning up in inconvenient and unexpected places.
This is her most dangerous case to date and this time Grandma Mazur's life is also in danger. It's up to Stephanie to track down a psychotic killer before he gets to her.
Funny and fast moving, this one is a quick, enjoyable read.
