TOP SECRET TWENTY ONE Book Review

My library doesn't allow anyone to put a hold on a book until they physically own it, even if it's still in processing.  As long as it shows up in their system, then you can get on the list.  The day TOP SECRET TWENTY ONE by Janet Evanovich came out, and when I finally saw it on their site that afternoon I called and got on the list.

Luckily they got three copies as I was the third in line so I got it the next day.

TOP SECRET TWENTY ONE is the latest release in the series of Stephanie Plum.  Here's the description of the book, as found on Goodreads:

***********************

Trenton, New Jersey’s favorite used-car dealer, Jimmy Poletti, was caught selling a lot more than used cars out of his dealerships. Now he’s out on bail and has missed his date in court, and bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is looking to bring him in. Leads are quickly turning into dead ends, and all too frequently into dead bodies. Even Joe Morelli, the city’s hottest cop, is struggling to find a clue to the suspected killer’s whereabouts. These are desperate times, and they call for desperate measures. So Stephanie is going to have to do something she really doesn’t want to do: protect former hospital security guard and general pain in her behind Randy Briggs. Briggs was picking up quick cash as Poletti’s bookkeeper and knows all his boss’s dirty secrets. Now Briggs is next on Poletti’s list of people to put six feet under.

To top things off, Ranger—resident security expert and Stephanie’s greatest temptation—has been the target of an assassination plot. He’s dodged the bullet this time, but if Ranger wants to survive the next attempt on his life, he’ll have to enlist Stephanie’s help and reveal a bit more of his mysterious past.

Death threats, highly trained assassins, highly untrained assassins, and Stark Street being overrun by a pack of feral Chihuahuas are all in a day’s work for Stephanie Plum. The real challenge is dealing with her Grandma Mazur’s wild bucket list. A boob job and getting revenge on Joe Morelli’s Grandma Bella can barely hold a candle to what’s number one on the list—but that’s top secret.

I love this entire series.  Janet Evanovich has brought all of these characters to life for me. I swear I'd recognize them walking down the street and I'd probably greet them like the old friends they are.   

I also picked up another book that came out the same day,
THAT NIGHT by Chevy Stevens.  Click on it to read my review.
