“High Five
There’s a quirky humor that runs through these stories and the characters in them. Grandma Mazer is a pip as she refers to people occasionally. Stephanie’s mother is so understandable as she tries to cope with a daughter who she is convinced would be happier if she had a job at the button factory instead of being a bounty hunter.
And, Stephanie’s love life? Ah, only in the movies would you have two…count them two guys, Ranger and Joe, who you’ve got the hots for and who have the hots for you. At the same time. And, Stephanie tries to walk the tight rope between them. Well, too, because the same thread is repeated in the other Stephanie Plum stories.
What’s really neat? It’s that Janet Evanovich keep writing them.
Anyway, in “High Five
Stephanie unravels this mystery with much danger and mayhem to herself and those who hang around too closely to her. The bad guys become the good guys and the good guys sometimes look like the bad guys. Just like in real life.
You don’t have to have read the first four books before you read this one. Janet is such a great writer that you know right where you are wherever you pick up the thread of these stories. Haul your bony butt off to the library today and see what they’ve got on their shelf.
