Turbo Twenty-Three by Janet Evanovich is the 23rd installment in the Stephanie Plum series. Now, I know that number seems high, but for those of us who are a fan of the series, it doesn't feel high. I've read all of the 22 previous books, and I'll say this... if you get bored of a concept really easily, then this series is not for you. It's about a woman who became a bounty hunter for her cousin. There is always a mystery to solve, usually involving a murder. Stephanie is the main character/bounty hunter. She has no training or special skills to be in this line of work. So, she always gets herself into a jam. It's a little annoying at this point because you think she would have learned from her mistakes. However, the humor that Evanovich includes throughout the books makes up for that. I find myself laughing out loud with a lot of her books in this series. The first one is still my favorite. This one... it was a little lacking for me. It was still good, and I feel like I'm keeping up with Stephanie and her crazy love life with 2 men in the picture. Her sidekick is a woman who used to be a prostitute named Lula, and she is always good for a laugh. Overall, I'm glad I didn't skip it. I give it a 3 out of 5 stars.
