Turbo twenty-three by Janet Evanovich
Stephanie Plum bk 23. Hachette Australia, 2016. ISBN
9781472201706
(Age: Adult) Strong language and sexual content. Another one for
anyone who is a fan of Stephanie Plum and her very funny friends.
Stephanie is again trying to pick up a bond evader, who is trying to
hijack a freezer van loaded with Bogart ice-cream. He crashes the
van and a frozen body covered in chocolate and pecans is discovered
in the back. Ranger asks her to go undercover at the Bogart factory
and try and discover just what is going on. From then on there are
all the hilarious hijinks that one would expect to happen in this
series.
Probably one of the reasons people continue to read the books is to
find out whether Stephanie finally ends up with Joe Morelli or
whether the temptation of the dark, mysterious and very sexy Ranger
will prove too much for Stephanie. As always, Evanovich is clever
enough to keep the reader engrossed enough to continue to the end to
see what happens in the romance department.
The murder mystery is also lots of fun as Stephanie grapples with
some hilarious and sometimes very dangerous moments as she helps to
uncover the strange murder.
Turbo twenty-three is pure holiday reading, with a lot of
familiar humour, a new plot and some scary moments.
