About this listen

 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. Crime Thrillers Genre Fiction Movie, TV & Video Game Tie-Ins Mystery Thriller & Suspense Women Sleuths Witty

As an abridged version this is very good - Lori Petty's voice and accent are completely Stephanie although she is a little limited in her range of voices. Her interpretation of Ranger's voice is also very good - different to that which I imagined but I think that my imagination got it wrong!!!

But I shall repeat my whinge of One for the Money - we need unabridged versions of these great books - I think that the books are less funny and less menacing in their abridged forms. Nonetheless I would recommend that everybody should get to know Stephanie Plum in whatever media is available to them!

Unabridged PLEASE!!!!!!!

I didn’t realise this was an abridged version and was disappointed when I realised it was. I see no point in abridged books. It was a pity as I enjoy the Plum books.

Disappointed it was abridged

I loved reading the Stephanie Plum books and was excited to get it on audio, however Lori Petty was terrible. She spoke far too quickly and had no expression and didn't have any differentiation between characters. I'm hoping that other books will have a different narrator so I can listen to some more from one of my favourite series

Great story terrible narrator

Like many of the early Stephanie Plum novels this is let down by being an abridged version, I think they are much better as unabridged. Narrator does a good job though.

Wish it was unabridged.

These books are such an easy listen and keep you on your toes, great story! Just a real shame the narrator has been changed from CJ Critt (One for the Money). This new one has a very annoying voice, put on accent, sounds more Boston than NJ,NY. Although I’ve purchased Three to get Deadly via Audible I think I’ll be giving it a miss and buy the paperback instead, that’s how annoying that voice is!! All in all, if you can get past the annoyance the story if full of surprises with the return of some well loved characters.

I ❤️ Stephanie Plum
