Two for the Dough (Stephanie Plum Series #2) Book

These books are quick and pretty fun. Sure there is the Scooby doo type mystery afoot in them but I find I'm more drawn to the personal interactions of the characters and the kooky stuff that happens along the way such as:

--- How much trouble a grandma cause at not just one but multiple viewings. Granny Mazur rocks

--- Chase scene through the mall in purple heels.

--- A big Buick that seems to have a mind of it's own and can't be stopped until it has crashed into at least one other car. Her insurance is going to be outrageous after this.

--- Various body parts showing up unexpectedly. one of them was definitely not Jewish

--- An almost hot and heavy scene that turned pretty funny.

Stephanie is a fledgling bounty hunter still learning the ropes. But she seems to stumble into all the right or wrong places as the case may be. This leads to hilarity and a little chaos but never really a dull moment.

This is a bit dated since there are still answering machines, beepers, phone books and car phones but don't let that discourage you it will remind you of a time where it was harder to get a hold of people and you couldn't ask google everything.

The mystery was okay and I did like how it ended but for me it is all about the characters, the semi-sexual tension happening and Stephanie doing silly things that sometimes go well but more often than not go horrible and hilariously wrong instead.
