Sunday Synopsis

Twisted Twenty-Six by Janet Evanovich
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stephanie Plum, bond enforcer. It sounds a lot more glamorous than it is, and frankly, Stephanie is tired of all the "bad" in life. While she is questioning her career choice, Grandma Mazur has gotten herself into a pickle. Her husband of 45 minutes has died, and his mobster cronies believe Grandma has the keys, literal keys, to financial freedom. The problem is, Grandma doesn't have the keys, doesn't know where they keys are, and didn't even know they existed.

And Stephanie has more than just finding the keys on her plate. She makes her living by locating FTA's (failure to appear) and getting them "rescheduled for their court dates." She has some doozies this time including a professional shoplifter who is able to give her and Lulu the slip multiple times. Stephanie's and Lulu's shenanigans provide much comic relief, and the love triangle with cop Joe Morelli and security expert Ranger provide romance.

Janet Evanovich manages to keep the storylines fresh even through this 26th book. But if you haven't read the previous books, you could pick this one up and still have a funny, twisty, read.
