Hot Six

The writing has been funny and fast pace. The character is delightful and relatable. However, she’s not growing, is still bumbling around when she should know better. It’s frustrating. Women aren’t stupid so I wish the character wouldn’t portray that image. She’s constantly forgetting her gun, and the necessary common sense just to stay safe and do her job to the best of her ability. I realize this was written many years ago but again I say, women are not stupid. We learn just as quick as men, perhaps quicker. She has no self preservation skills. It’s becoming ridiculous and making me not want to invest time in her. She doesn’t put obvious clues together then the story wraps up in one paragraph in the last chapter. I hope this format is tweaked because I enjoy the writing immensely and the characters. I hope the protagonist smartens up or I can’t see reading the rest of the series without disappointing frustration.

I love the series, have all the physical books when I decided to add the audio book. High Five and Hot Six areread by the worst narrator of any audiobook I have encountered. She is flat and speed-talks. I adore the stories, it this narrator totally ruins the experience. Thank goodness the narrator only does 2 books in the series

I have read this book twice and loved it both times. I still laughed just as hard the second time as the first. Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter that catches her FTP’s (Fail To Appear In Court) with a lot of luck since she doesn’t carry a gun, still trying to figure out how to use her stun gun and has yet to actually use her pepper spray. The plot in this book is one of her favorite men Ranger is being blamed for a death of Homer Ramos as son of a black-market gun runner. He is seen on video minutes before the murder. Stephanie works with Ranger to prove his innocence while he is in hiding from the police. But wait there is more! Grandma Mazure decides to move in with Stephanie which causes all kinds of hysterical issues. Then a cop talks Stephanie into taking care of his dog Bob while he goes on vacation. Only thing, he really didn’t go on vacation, and he has no intention of taking the dog back. Words such as Dudes and Duddets are being used allot by the charcters Mooner and Doughey. Then some additoinal characters that are mob type named Mitchell and Habib.Mitchell is from the United States and Habib is from Pakistan. The banter between the two got me to laughing so hard I was crying. This book is really good.

Stephane Plum is believable and likeable. She makes mistakes and has a lot of near death experiences, but though she is fearful, she soldiers on in her job catching criminals who miss their court dates. Stephane has an annoying and loving family who are entertaining, especially her raunchy grandmother who loves funerals. The two men in her life are both in law enforcement. She tends to avoid them but then finds them useful and at times lovable.

Janet Evanovich’s, Hot Six is funny, sexy, and bloody! Yes, all three with perhaps two or more thrown in! Evanovich writes a great book from a ladies point of view which makes if more enjoyable. As always, Joe Morelli and Ranger are trying to keep Stephanie Plum out of trouble and in bed. Most of the time they don’t succeed. It’s a wonder Stephanie has not ended up in the morgue. Grandma is trying something new. Has the family in in a state of what’s next! Stephanie’s mom is everyone’s mom and how she cooks! A must read for fun and laughter. Yes, I laugh right out loud! You will, too!
