My review: Two for the Dough is the second in the Stephanie Plum series and proved that this entire series will be a good listen! I can’t wait to pick up the third audiobook after this one kept me laughing.

Stephanie, a bounty hunter, is on the trail of Kenny Mancuso who had just shot his best friend. Some best friend, huh? This guy is a real piece of work and keeps Stephanie and cop Joe Morelli reeling through his games. Oh yes, Morelli is back and continues to try to woo Stephanie! I really hope to see those too hook up in a later book, I think it would add a ton of humor.

The funniest part of the book? Grandma Mazur. Seriously, she is an amazing character and I think her funeral parlor stalking is hilarious. I’ve heard about a few old folks that go to funerals and visitations daily, but never as dedicated and judgmental as Grandma Mazur. She could tell you how much money they had, where their family was from and who knows what else by checking out the funeral parlor.

Overall, another great audiobook that was packed with suspense and humor. I’d like to order more Grandma Mazur! Such a firecracker.

Narrator Review: C.J. Critt is good… but honestly, I really liked Lori Petty’s portrayal of Stephanie in the first audiobook, One for the Money. Petty was gruff and made my mind paint a better picture of the characters. Critt was great though, she changed voices seamlessly between characters and kept me entertained.
