One For The Money
Since I am a bit pressed for time and will be participating in Monica’s Read Your Own Books Marathon this weekend, and plan on reading Three To Get Deadly I thought I would post mini reviews of the first two Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich..
In One For The Money by Janet Evanovich, Stephanie Plum is hard up for money. She was laid off from her cushy job as a lingerie buyer and consequently has fallen behind on her bills. She’s in luck though, because her cousin owns a bounty-hunter business, where they basically catch people who skip their arraignment hearings.
Overall, One For The Money by Janet Evanovich was an incredibly enjoyable quick read. I kept laughing over Evanovich’s phrasing. This isn’t Modern Library material, but it’s not half bad either
Following One For The Money, Two For The Dough begins with picking up Kenny Mancuso which should have been an easy job for Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter, however, Mancuso was a bigger pain in the ass than she expected.
I’d say Two For The Dough by Janet Evanovich was another hit with me. I loved that there was more Grandma Mazur, she’s such a riot, especially when Stephanie opens a suspicious package at the dinner table.
Sorry this mini-review isn’t too in-depth, just take my word that these are fun novels. They aren’t serious and great for a day at the beach, a day trip, a readathon, really they just rock. Also, how can you not love Grandma Mazur? For realsies.
Disclosure: Both books and the entire series were purchased/book mooched.
Great reviews! A fellow blogger (Cat) has convinced me to try these
