How did I miss Janet Evanovich's Takedown Twenty (#1,338) in her best-selling Stephanie Plum series? My husband found it on the library display and asked if I'd read it. I hadn't! In case you were wondering, this is the one with Kevin the giraffe and Joe's family connection Uncle Sunny.
Can it be that Stephanie might be tiring of the life of a bond retrieval agent? She doesn't seem to be having much luck tracing the skips her cousin Vinnie is giving her. And it's getting downright dangerous, too! It doesn't help that Ranger is asking her to moonlight for a client of his whose mother was murdered and tossed in a dumpster.
In the meantime, she does get a big-ticket trace - Uncle Sunny. He's a well-known mobster who controls the Burg. He's so well-liked in the neighborhood, no one will rat him out, including Joe Morelli, Sunny's godson and Stephanie's main squeeze.
And what about the giraffe roaming around the neighborhood? No one has reported seeing him. Stephanie and Lula are almost convinced they're imagining it, too, until Ranger spots him one dark night.
Bingo, funeral parlors and acquiring domestic tools are making Stephanie have serious thoughts about settling down if she and her grandmother make it out alive. The question is - with whom?
Always a fun read!
