Review of 'Top secret twenty-one' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Stephanie Plum is looking for Jimmy Poletti but ends up finding corpses, and so she uses Briggs as bait to try and get to Poletti since he was his accountant. Grandma Mazur is more worried about her bucket list, which involves Morelli's grandma Bella and therefore might be more dangerous than finding Poletti. But the most dangerous case is with Ranger that has a a very big radioactive problem in his hands.

This book possibly has the most intricate stories of all of Plum's books so far. Stephanie has a lot of FTAs, and her main case - Jimmy Poletti - is also Morelli's and part of a bigger network that connects all characters. Usually I do not even pay attention to most names because they come and go, but in this one I had to keep tabs on who was who. Ranger has his one big problem, which actually works to make him more endearing towards Stephanie. Funny enough, there was no real mystery going on but I found this story better than the most of the recent ones. Evanovich never fails to make me laugh and/or snort, which is the reason why I keep reading. Also, I may like chihuahuas a little more now.
