Janet Evanovich - Two for the Dough

More quality stuff from Evanovich - v. funny. Was searching for the right word, then found it in one of the critic's comments - 'screwball'. Laconic about it, though. Most of the cast from One for the Money returns, a few new, generally slimy figures are introduced, and it takes place largely in and around a funeral parlour. I like Stephanie Plum heaps (Names Are Important - never yet come across a Stephanie who I didn't like, in real life at least - though obviously that's only a small part of the story here). Was thinking about who should play her in a film adaptation; came up with Rachel Weisz and Miranda Otto, but both are probably way too willowy, not to mention refined-looking. Hm.
