Summary: High Five for Evanovich!!
Review: This is one of those books you can't wait to finish and yet, you never want it to end! Suggestion for number six...how about Sixth Sense..with S. Plum using "woman's intution" to get the jump on clues before Morelli or Ranger... In any case...can't wait for the next one!!

Summary: Fast paced, intriguing and likeable characters
Review: I love the Stephanie Plum series and the new one High Five! I love Joe Morelli and Ranger and all her quirky neighbors. The ending was great, I like that Evanovich is avoiding getting too formulaic and predictable. It would be nice if Stephanie would take her job a little (but not too much) more seriously and evolve on that level. I think in order to keep the series interesting she is going to have to. I loved the more detailed interplay between Morelli and Stephanie in Four to Score and missed that in High Five. Love the new characters!!! Lot's of Fun. Can't wait for #6.

Summary: WHAT A HOOT !!!!
Review: This series just keeps getting better and better. Stephanie and company are back with a big KABOOM. You never get tired of reading about Grandma, the cars or the "viewings". Who would'nt want the problem of Ranger and Joe? The ending was great and now I really cannot wait until number six comes out.

Summary: Continuing enjoyment from Janet
Review: Have read all of Janet's books and was so delighted someone turned me on to them. My husband introduced me to New Jersey 50 years ago and I can tell you, she definitely has the flavor of New Jersey in her books. I think this was one of the best but can't wait till she writes Number 6. Keep them coming, I have turned on many Californians to her books and they all loved them

Summary: Thoroughly enjoyable
Review: I have read all of the titles in this series, but I don't know if I enjoyed any as much as this one. Her little "romance problem" kept me highly entertained...just who did come through that door? Even it the ending was the authors way to sell her next book, I'll buy it!

Summary: Hurry Janet! I'm waiting for #6!
Review: I don't want to give away the ending... so all I will say is:Hurry Janet... we're all waiting for #6 and none too patiently here! Read the whole series, but only if you love to laugh outloud and annoy your friends and family by reading excepts while trying to explain that these kooky characters in impossibly hysterical situations are not silly when not taken out of context. The most fun I've had since FOUR TO SCORE!

Summary: More please
Review: Excellent, excellent, excellent. Everyone I know who likes to read loves this series. Stephanie Plum is a hoot and a half. Ranger and Morelli, what a dilemma - don't we just wish we had those kinds of problems. Keep them coming. Is number six really going to take a year - oh well, it's only 52 weeks, 365 days, I'm sure we will survive. Keep up the excellent work.

Summary: Another witty and suspenseful Stephanie Plum Mystery
Review: Things are so slow for Stephanie Plum, the Trenton, NJ, bounty hunter, that she willingly spends time looking for her missing uncle. The Trentonian local color rings true, as Stephanie stumbles into a major embezzling scheme involving several murders closely related to her uncle's disappearance. One of the things that makes this series so readable is Stephanie's on/off relationship with Lt. Morellia, a situation now complicated by the increased presence of Ranger, the bounty hunter from hell. We always know that Ms. Plum will find the crooks and solve the mystery, but readers can look forward to the new complexities offered by romantic triangle between Plum, Morelli, and Ranger.

Summary: Does it get any better than this?
Review: "High Five" is the best birthday present I ever got! (I made myself wait 4 days to get it on my birthday.) I read it in 4 hours, and laughed out loud the whole way! I agree with the other reviewer who said that Stephanie should have told Ranger or Morelli about Ramirez. It's amazing how Stephanie, the novice bounty hunter, ends up on the trail of these huge cases involving all sorts of law enforcement agencies. My husband wanted to read "High Five" right away but I told him he had to read the series in order to really understand it. He's actually woken me up out of a sound sleep to point out a particularly hysterical phrase (thanks Janet!). I've started giving people "One for the Money" as a birthday present; the more people I get hooked on the series, the more fun it will be! It's the perfect present; I can't think of anyone who wouldn't love Stephanie, Grandma Mazur, Morelli, Lula and especially Ranger! (Can you guess who I think the mystery visitor is?!) Janet, keep me in mind for the preview copy of #6!

Summary: Past the peak !
Review: This wonderful quirky series has passed the peak, and is sinking fast. I thought Three to Get Deadly was the best. Four to Score was the start of the downhill journey. It did have a neat 'quirky-character-of-the-month' in Sally, and Stephanie's romantic resolution was good, but other than playing house it covered no new ground. In High Five not only are we covering the same ground but it is done in a very pale and bloodless way. There is little time spent on any one thread, the result is all are uninteresting. I felt no sense of terror over the champ, no sense of jealousy over Terry, and no sense of anger over Joyce. I don't even care much about the ending, and being a Morrelli fan -- I should. Even this book's quirky character is a small and rather ordinary guy. We can only do so many wakes with the sweet granny from hell, and so many family dinners before it becomes ho-hum. Even the exploding car bit, and big blue are getting tired. JE seemed like she was trying something new with Ranger and Stephanie 'working' for him -- but it just didn't jell, and the tone really didn't match. There is nothing funny or quirky about Ranger and what he does. Both Stephanie as Vigilante, and Stephanie as woman who scorns Morrelli are neither believable nor interesting, let alone funny. I hope that JE can bring a second wind to the series -- but until I see some evidence of change I will wait for the paperback from here on out.
