Takedown Twenty by Janet Evanovich

This is the time of year when things get really hectic, and we just need a book that will give us some belly laughs.  If you haven't met Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter, you have been missing out on someone's life that is much crazier than mine will ever be.

 Stephanie is in her early thirties and just not ready to settle down.  It doesn't help that she has Joe Morelli and Ranger interested in her romantically - or otherwise.  She also has her Grandmother Mazur, her friend, Lula, an ex "ho." and her hamster, Rex.

Someone is killing elderly ladies and putting them in dumpsters.  Stephanie is quite upset, and wants to find the killer because she is worried about her grandmother's safety.   There is also a giraffe on the loose.  Is Morelli's godfather involved?  Will Morelli's Grandma Bella put the evil eye on Stephanie if she won't leave Sunny, Morelli's godfather alone? Will Stephanie have to give up bounty hunting as work in a butcher shop to help pay the bills?  Is grass fed beef all it is cracked up to be?

If you have a couple of hours, dive into these books.  They are laugh out loud funny.  If you don't have time to sit down and read them, download the audio version from your public library.  I guarantee you will laugh all the way to your destination.
