Publisher Description
A notorious mob boss may take Stephanie out if she doesn't take him down first...
Stephanie Plum must up her game in Takedown Twenty, the hilarious twentieth adventure in the fiery Stephanie Plum series by bestselling author Janet Evanovich. The perfect read for fans of Harlan Coben and Lee Child.
Praise for Evanovich's bestselling novels: 'Making trouble and winning hearts' (USA Today); 'Sharp dialogue, a little slapstick and a little romance' (The Sunday Times); 'Highly enjoyable... who can resist?' (Chicago Tribune).
Someone is killing old women and leaving them in dumpsters, and Stephanie's risking the wrath of the local police by investigating behind their backs.
And to top that, her latest bounty is the town's much-beloved vicious mobster, 'Uncle Sunny' Sunucchi.
Stephanie doesn't mind (that much) that the local Godfather is her boyfriend Morelli's actual godfather - but since they are almost her in-laws, she could do with the Family not trying to kill her for a while...
What readers are saying about Takedown Twenty:
'Lively and funny. All the usual characters, with Stephanie getting into trouble both at work and with her love life'
'Janet Evanovich does it again, pure comedy. She never fails to deliver'
'I am often to be found howling with laughter with tears rolling down my face whenever I read one of Janet Evanovich's books!'
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Narrator King continues to prove herself the perfect voice for Evanovich's popular Stephanie Plum series. Trenton, N.J., mobster Salvatore "Uncle Sunny" Sunucchi has skipped out on his bond and it's bounty hunter Stephanie's assignment to find him. Trouble is that even though Uncle Sunny is wanted for murder, no one is willing to turn him in. In fact, many people are going out of their way to protect him. Additionally, Stephanie is helping hunt down a murderer who preys on the elderly. Add to the mix her wacky family and coworkers and a runaway giraffe named Kevin and you've got an adventure sure to keep listener attention to the very end. King has Plum's world down pat. Her sharp, attitude-heavy narration fits the tone of the book while keeping the story light. Her portrayal of dialogue is right on the money and each character shines with unique east coast eccentric individuality. This is a well performed, fun, and laugh-out-loud, listening experience. A Bantam hardcover.
