"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"--Cover, page [4].

Stephanie Plum has her sights set on catching a notorious mob boss. If she doesn't take him down, he may take her out. The plot contains profanity, sexual situations, and violence. Book #20

Review of 'Takedown twenty' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Stephanie's boss is in trouble with his father-in-law and so he presses Stephanie to find “Uncle Sunny” Sunucchi that is wanted by the police for murder. The trouble is everyone loves Sunucchi, even Morelli's family and his crazy grandmother. To make things more interesting, someone is killing old ladies and Ranger asks for Stephanie's help since Grandma Mazur has the "right" connections.

The giraffe was such a great addiction to the story, I kept trying to figure out the connection between any of Stephanie's FTAs and the animal but I missed miserably. It was also great that everyone was focusing on the giraffe except for Stephanie, specially Ranger - he was great in this story. I had a great time reading this book, it had fewer laugh out moments but it felt like more things were going on at the same time.
