Two for the Dough ~ Janet Evanovich

****reviewed by Mercedes

Two for the Dough by Janet Evanovich

This book was a lot of fun. I've been hearing about what a great series this was and how laugh out loud it was but never had the time or inclination to sit down and read it. In needing a book to read, I finally read the first book in the series a couple of weeks ago. Not bad but not as funny as everyone had said. But it hooked me and I patiently waited for the next in the series to come into the library. I have to say, this book was much better. I really did laugh out loud in several spots. The story was well-paced and the characters have really gained in life. They are what makes the story so much fun. You can picture everyone around the table and hear the conversation that your reading, inflections, sarcasm and all. It makes me ready to continue reading the series. I'm not sure how long its appeal will hold out, especially if certain scenarios don't resolve themselves before too long, but for now, I'm content to add the next book to the list and carry on with the series.
