Two for the Dough

I like both of these covers.
And I'd like to declare that I want to be Grandma Mazur when I grow up! She's tiny, quick as a whip and carries a .45-long barrel. My kinda woman!
Two for the Dough is the second installment of Evanovich's One for the Money series. Stephanie Plum is the heroin/ victim/ bait of these books. And in this particular book she has found herself the target of Kenny Mancuso, sicko, cutter extraordinaire.
She is a Bounty Hunter by profession, out of necessity. Like the book suggests, she's doin it for money. Her latest FTA (Failure to Appear) is said cutter. She finds herself travelling around to all the local funeral homes which happens to be Garndma Mazur's favorite thing to do in the evenings. I'ma itchin to review, so let's turn this mother out...
Review: This is just the morbid kind of humor that I like. Death, guns, old people, good times.
Evanovich also includes all the every day stuff and her novels span over little periods of time which I like. I can see where Stephenie Meyers gets her influence. I actually picked these novels up in the first place because Meyers, being one of my favorite authors, really likes these books. I always like to see what my favorite authors enjoy. Helps me get in their head more. Example: C.S. Lewis regarded George MacDonald as his "master", so I checked out MacDonald, and as it turned out, loved his stuff too!
Just like the first. Fun, page-turner, if you have the time, pick it up, but you won't want to put it down... Here's a quote:
"I rumbled off to Vic's Video and rented Ghostbusters, my all time favorite inspirational movie. I picked up some microwave popcorn, a kitkat, a bag of bite-sized reese's peanut butter cups, and a box of instant hot chocolate with marshmallows. Do I know how to have a good time or what?"
Why, yes, you do. Sounds like the best time.
Only one bone I have to pick about this book. Steph's jeep gets stolen and she ends up with a powder blue '53 Buick, which I think sounds awesome! But she doesn't like it. I guess I'm just into the retro thing, I would go for the antique before the shiny new toy.
