Publisher's summary

Number-one New York Times best seller

Catch a professional assassin: top priority. Find a failure-to-appear and collect big bucks: top score. How she’ll pull it all off: top secret.

Trenton, New Jersey’s favorite used-car dealer, Jimmy Poletti, was caught selling a lot more than used cars out of his dealerships. Now he’s out on bail and has missed his date in court, and bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is looking to bring him in. Leads are quickly turning into dead ends, and all too frequently into dead bodies. Even Joe Morelli, the city’s hottest cop, is struggling to find a clue to the suspected killer’s whereabouts. These are desperate times, and they call for desperate measures. So Stephanie is going to have to do something she really doesn’t want to do: protect former hospital security guard and general pain in her behind Randy Briggs. Briggs was picking up quick cash as Poletti’s bookkeeper and knows all his boss’ dirty secrets. Now Briggs is next on Poletti’s list of people to put six feet under.

To top things off, Ranger - resident security expert and Stephanie’s greatest temptation - has been the target of an assassination plot. He’s dodged the bullet this time, but if Ranger wants to survive the next attempt on his life, he’ll have to enlist Stephanie’s help and reveal a bit more of his mysterious past.

Death threats, highly trained assassins, highly untrained assassins, and Stark Street being overrun by a pack of feral Chihuahuas are all in a day’s work for Stephanie Plum. The real challenge is dealing with her Grandma Mazur’s wild bucket list. A boob job and getting revenge on Joe Morelli’s Grandma Bella can barely hold a candle to what’s number one on the list - but that’s top secret.

Praise for Top Secret Twenty-One

“The combination of biting dialogue, outrageous characters and intense story lines are consistent throughout. And [Janet Evanovich] novels are the true definition of a guilty pleasure.” (Associated Press)

“Evanovich doesn’t disappoint.... [She] weaves setting, family, romance and crime to pull the plot of Top Secret Twenty-One forward.” (Bookreporter)

The Saga Continues...

I love the narrator of this series. She's fun and playful and gives the characters life as I would myself. The story is not a classic and the plot line may be repetitive but I enjoy being able to chuckle and listen without having to invest all of my time to detail. It's like drinking a sparkling wine instead of a heavy one.

Plum crazy, one of the best in the series in years

What made the experience of listening to Top Secret Twenty-One the most enjoyable?

"BABE" the narrator does a great job on Ranger with his BABE, gives you a little tingle. The other character voices are good too.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Good story, loved the part with the "minions" and the whole thing with Briggs was a hoot.

Which character – as performed by Lorelei King – was your favorite?

Grandma Mazur without a doubt, cracks me up every time

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

no I like to listen over time to spread out the enjoyment

Any additional comments?

Part with Joe and Stephanie that made me laugh so hard I almost had an accident. I loved the descriptions of Ranger and Joe, made you want to go find them and just "grab" them. This whole book was terrific. Evanovich had been phoning in her stories for a while and this went back to her regular style and was very enjoyable. If she sticks with this type I would look forward to many more books.
