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”

Top Secret Twenty One
5By Veachie1stLoved this book! Love Janet Evanovich! She’s one of the few authors that make me laugh out loud reading her books. Stephanie Plum keeps getting better and better.Always Funny and Enjoyable

5By Rewritegirl17😊Not as good
3By hollace12These books just aren’t as fun as they used to beTop secret twenty one
3By DebCutrerGetting to be like all the others. But still has a few good moments. Time to move on to the climax.Top Secret Twenty One
5By Cherie9958cherieGreat 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
4By aKISSinAZI'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 .
3By RedsolarisI'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!
5By Fiercesum BunnyLove it! When do we get #22?Janet Evanovich Top Secret Twenty-One
5By sotrue1I just love visiting with Stephanie, Lula, Morelli and Ranger. Twenty-One was non-stop fun. Can't wait for Twenty-Two.Awful. Really awful.
1By DoneWithPlumWow. 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.Get on with it
2By Ward1352I've been reading this series for about 10 years now. If feels as though with each book Janet is losing interest in writing about Stephanie. As sad as it is I think this series needs to come to an end... Or move on to the next story line in it.Like Reading the Same Book Over and Over Again
2By Manda79I stopped buying the books a long time ago in favor of checking them out at my local library instead. It's just not worth it anymore. The last 4 or 5 books are pretty much the same book. Not really anything new, no evolving of characters, same situations. The books can still be a fun little read, but I've given up on expecting anything to actually happen. I think the series has run its course...time to wrap it up.21 and done
1By Nicholette BergquistI've read all the books in this series but I won't read another one. The last couple of books are all the same.Love all her books!
5By CpapplebyThis book is like all the others a great fun read!!! Grandma Mazur now has a bucket list and actually accomplishes a few of those things on her bucket list! I can't wait for book 22!Fun
5By Z1kristyAlways a fun read :)Top secret twenty-one
3By Cindy sooWill not purchase the next book in series. Too much repeat. Wrap it up already.not as funny as you think
2By btaylorubtI read review from other sources and it was laugh out loud, not so much. The story line was ok. Didn't care for the sexual content or the f word. Other than that, well written and engaging .Top Secret Twenty-One
1By D KochPlease don't waste your money! This is the same old, same old. I've read every one of the Stephanie Plum novels, this is by far the worst in terms of plot, characters or story line. It says it's 350 pages, it's not even 300!! The last 50 pages are a new novel she's trying to promote and, no, it's not good ole Stephanie. Don't say I didn't warn you.
