Split Second | Book Review
Thirty-Two Switcharoo
A Stephanie Plum Novel
By Janet Evonovich
A FUN, LAUGH OUT LOUD READ
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
SUMMARY
Stephanie Plum's life is never dull. Now she is being stalked by someone who repeatedly sends her threatening messages, grotesque packages, and comes very close to killing her. She is also pursuing Greg Tusi, another bail jumper who pushes Stephanie off a roof when she gets too close.
Ranger, Stephanie’s go-to guy when she is in trouble, owns a high-end security firm for the rich and famous. Surprisingly, Ranger asks Stephanie to assist with a high-stakes security assignment to protect the young daughter of a powerful political figure who is receiving death threats. When the daughter is kidnapped, Stephanie even joins in a rescue attempt.
REVIEW
Split Second is a classic Stephanie Plum story. Stephanie is a determined bounty hunter who typically refuses to carry a gun. But not this time. With the multiple death threats and the high-profile security job she is carrying now, mayhem is sure to follow. Stephanie is always hilarious and constantly gets into ridiculous situations. The book is entertaining, fast-paced, and completely over-the-top. While I love Stephanie’s character, I’d like to see her be less pathetic and less of a laughingstock. Regardless of that this book rocks.
Janet Evanovich always delivers a fun, laugh-out-loud read based on Stephanie’s foibles and missteps. I loved seeing Stephanie working with Ranger and his guys. With a little of Ranger’s training and mentoring, maybe she could be a better bounty hunter, and the humor wouldn’t always have to be so slapstick. I mean, does anyone know how many cars she has destroyed in the series? She seems to average at least two and a half cars per book. But who is counting!
