Never mind who did the deed with New Jersey gift hunter Stephanie Plum at the end of High Five. Five months later, that night’s only a dim, cherished memory, and Stephanie’s freezing her butt off on a Trenton bridge trying to keep her friend Carol–caught shoplifting some crotchless panties she was too embarrassed to buy–from committing suicide.
Truth is, I didn’t for a minute reflect she’d jump. For one thing, she was wearing a four-hundred-dollar jacket from Wilson Leather. You just don’t jump off a bridge in a four-hundred-dollar jacket. It isn’t done. The jacket would get ruined. Carol was from the Chambersburg section of Trenton, just like me, and in the Burg you gave the jacket to your sister, then you jumped off the bridge.
When Stephanie finally talks Carol down and makes it in to work at Vincent Plum Bail Bonds, it’s only to find that her libido-boosting pal Ranger, the professional gift hunter and sometime hit man, has disappeared. A building owned by black-market arms dealer Alexander Ramos has burned down, with Ramos’s son Homer lying inside, dead from a gunshot wound. Ranger, who was caught on film there by video cameras, is wanted for questioning. Stephanie’s boss Vinnie wants her to find him, but Stephanie, who knows she won’t find Ranger if he doesn’t want to be establish, refuses. Soon everyone, from her cop boyfriend Joe Morelli to the two Laurel and Hardy wannabes who suddenly start following her around Trenton in a badass black Lincoln, thinks she’s hot on Ranger’s trail.
And Stephanie’s got additional things to worry about. For one thing, Grandma Mazur’s stirred in with her, and so has Bob, a golden retriever who’s only partly house trained. Then Ranger starts popping up at odd times of the night, with instructions for Stephanie to keep an eye on another Ramos son, Hannibal. Add to that one homicidal maniac, a couple more dead bodies, Stephanie’s usual terrible car karma, and the zit from hell, and you’ve got yourself one fine Stephanie Plum adventure. Will Stephanie triumph? You can bet a jelly doughnut on it. And there’s another fantastic cliffhanger waiting at the end. –Barrie Trinkle

This volume is an inadequate attempt to propagate the leader’s own personal dogma. The personal angst and conflicts of the writer are palpable in every sorry sentence, and she seems to judge in the “infalibility” of her own judgements. The selfish motivations of the leader should never be so patently present that the reader is uncomfortable in witnessing the internal strife of the writer. In fleeting, only this can be said: what this book’s prose lacks in skillfulness or scholarly fact it makes up in shallowness and gutless speechifying. Bother with this book only to your own inconvenience.

I guess it was my fault, but I did not read the fine print and received merchandise that was represented like new, but had no jacket take in. How can a book be represented as new lacking a jacket take in. Perhaps seller should better know was constitutes a new status.

Evanovich writes with a cookie cutter as a replacement for of a PC keyboard.
This novel is so formulaic you’ll go back to see if it’s already in your collection.
You may smile or slightly chuckle at a turn of a axiom–but that occurs about every 100 pages. And the book is about 300 pages, so the math is evident.
Evanovich has sniffed at reviewers who’ve questioned whether she is just churning this stuff out on auto-pilot. The paragraphs seem like they are produced the way a butcher shoves sausage through a food processor.
And grind is a perfect word for Hot Six.

An simple read but the beach season is over. The main character is a mixture of Kinsey Millhone (Sue Grafton) and Kay Scarpetta (Patricia Cornwell), you are better off reading a book about each.
The subplots are entertaining and help distract you from the main plot which is silly. Many of the characters seem like “caricatures”, not real people. For example, the two goons following her and “the Dealer” Wait for next summer then buy the paperback.

After being told I simply had to try this leader, it was severely disappointed. I thought it was going to be a tightly-written thriller. As a replacement for I got a book that when it was amusing, was in a juvenile sort of way, and utterly missing in suspense. I was also appalled at the way that killing, rape and setting people on fire was dealt with as if it were amusing, when sadly, there are a lot of crimes out there comitted like sickos like that, and it is anything but amusing for the families. In fact, as I write this, I marvel at myself for being ‘entertained’ by tales of sick criminal types. they certainly abound in this book, though entertained is not what I felt. more like offended and disgusted. A light weight bit of fluff that deserves mass market at best, certainly not hardcover.
