Takedown twenty

Takedown twenty

New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum knows better than to mess with family. But when powerful mobster Salvatore "Uncle Sunny" Sunucchi goes on the lam in Trenton, it's up to Stephanie to find him. Uncle Sunny is charged with murder for running over a guy (twice), and nobody wants to turn him in -- not his poker buddies, not his bimbo girlfriend, not his two right-hand men, Shorty and Moe. Even Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, has skin in the game, because "just Stephanie's luck" the godfather is his actual godfather. And while Morelli understands that the law is the law, his old-world grandmother, Bella, is doing everything she can to throw Stephanie off the trail. It's not just Uncle Sunny giving Stephanie the run-around. Security specialist Ranger needs her help to solve the bizarre death of a top client's mother, a woman who happened to play bingo with Stephanie's Grandma Mazur. Before Stephanie knows it, she's working side by side with Ranger and Grandma at the senior center, trying to catch a killer on the loose -- and the bingo balls are not rolling in their favor. With bullet holes in her car, henchmen on her tail, and a giraffe named Kevin running wild in the streets of Trenton, Stephanie will have to up her game for the ultimate takedown.

Book #13 Read in 2017 Takedown Twenty by Janet Evanovich In the 20th book in the Stephanie Plum series, Stephanie really has not improved as a bounty hunter. She is on the hunt for a few fugitives, with varying degrees of success. She is assisted by Lula, Ranger and her zany Grandma. She and Morelli are still deciding their romantic future. Add a giraffe on the loose, and you have a read that is full of action, humor and romance. Great series!

I know a lot of people rag on this series as being repetitive, but they always make me laugh. As long as I get genuine laughs out of it, I'll keep reading them!

I don’t think I will ever get tired of this series. I love the friendship that Stephanie has with Lula. Their interactions constantly make me laugh. My favorite pairing will always be Stephanie and Ranger. The patience he has for her is amazing and the loyalty he has for her is wonderful. I love the way he protects her and has her back at a minutes notice. I felt like The villain in this one wasn’t very apparent. I would have liked it to be like previous books where it builds and you know earlier on.
