Two for the Dough

Kenny Mancuso shot his childhood buddy Moogey Bues and then jumped bail. Now bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is on the case to track Kenny down.

Then someone finished Moogey off, Kenny can't be found, twenty-four coffins are missing, and there's some ex-army heavy artillery roaming the streets. And Joe Morelli - the cop with more than a professional interest in her every move - is tailing Stephanie.

With a healthy disregard for the law, and an unhealthy dependence on marshmallow hot chocolate, Stephanie's a match for anyone - even Morelli. That is, until her eccentric grandmother goes AWOL and little pieces of corpses start to disappear . . .

Reviews

—— OK!

Gritty and menacing

—— Heat

'Gruelling, exciting, eventful...cleanly and crisply written, with a vein of sardonic asides'

—— Literary Review

The writing is as ever fluid and pacey, the characterisation deft and the plot fresh and ingenious

—— Independent on Sunday

Atmospheric, hugely beguiling and as filled with tricks and sleights of hand as a magician's sleeve... this is English gothic at its eccentric best; a combination of Ealing comedy and grand opera: witty, charismatic, occasionally touching and with a genuine power to thrill

—— Joanne Harris

A writer of extraordinary imagination

—— Sunday Express

The striking gothic setting of London under fire proves fruitful ground for a bizarre dark comedy of an investigation... bawdy, unpredictable and at times hilarious, with a cast of wonderful grotesques

—— Maxim Jakubowski , Guardian

Fowler belongs with the mythographers of London: Iain Sinclair, Peter Ackroyd

—— New Statesman

Its combination of Grand Guignol and place setting does command attention

—— Metro London

Original, moving and entertaining for adults as well as for older children

A deservedly acclaimed read.
