Two for the Dough by Janet Evanovich
5.0
adventurous funny lighthearted mysterious

Gone beyond a joke now. I'm irredeemable. 

The redoubtable Stephanie Pum, is in her groove, hunting bounties, or rather, persuading bail skippers to turn up at court when they're supposed to. She becomes involved in a complicated mess involving a murder, dangerous cop-killer ammo on the street, a bunch of stolen coffins and a few stolen body parts. Helped, though more often hindrered, by a lovable if unashamedly unreconstructed supporting cast, this is fast, funny, thrilling stuff.
