Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Catch a professional assassin: top priority. Find a failure-to-appear and collect big bucks: top score. How Stephanie Plum will pull it all off: top secret.
 
“The most popular mystery writer alive.”—The New York Times

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.

BONUS: This edition includes Janet Evanovich’s short story “Pros and Cons”

    Getting to be like all the others. But still has a few good moments. Time to move on to the climax.

    Great book, Janet Evanovich never lets you down. Fun, easy read, enjoyable I love finding out what's happening next with Grandma Mazur, I find myself laughing out loud at her antics Ranger, Joe, and Stephanie although I would like to see Stephanie cross the unspoken line with Ranger again. These books cannot be written and published fast enough for me. Love Them!
  • More of the same but that's OK

    I'd love to see the characters evolve, but I guess that's not what this series is about. So I've tamed any expectations and take each book for what it is. I still enjoy the humor, who dun it plots (holes and all), and exploding cars. And I continue to change my mind about Team Ranger or Team Morelli.
  • I'm disappointed .

    I'm disappointed of this new book I was expecting more of Ranger life, motive to do what he's do in the rescue think and at least Stephanie, be a little more secure of what she wants and there was no important secrets.
  • Great!

    I just love visiting with Stephanie, Lula, Morelli and Ranger. Twenty-One was non-stop fun. Can't wait for Twenty-Two.
  • Awful. Really awful.

    Wow. I swore after the giraffes that I was done with Stephanie Plum. I couldn't imagine anything worse than that storyline. Of course, I hadn't yet read this book... a convoluted plot, Grandma Mazur who wasn't funny, Lula who had no reason to be included and, amazing as it may be, Ranger and Morelli who are no longer sexy or even slightly interesting. (How does that happen?). I had hopes for Briggs but nothing materialized. After years of enjoying this series, I am done. JE has lost her credibility by continuing to churn out this trite, sophomoric crap. It's time to let Stephanie join the ranks of the Button Factory and let us remember when these characters were laugh-out-loud funny.
