It's the doubled-over, wiping the tears from my eyes type of funny and unpredictable book. Stephanie continues to attract all kinds of trouble as she tries to bring in some minor criminals while searching for her missing uncle. We reunite with some of our favorite characters in this one: Ranger, Lula, Morelli and my favorite Grandma Mauzer, and meet some hilarious new ones: a midget who decides to camp out in Stephanie's living room and a bookie called Bunchy who keeps following Stephanie around. The characters really make this series and I can't wait to read the next one to find out what they are up to next. (  ) mmillet | Dec 14, 2009 |  I'm not much of a series reader so if I get this far in a series it's quite an accomplishment. These books are just plain fun to read! (  ) readingrat | Dec 9, 2009 | High Five was another fast and funny read in the Stephanie Plum series. As the series continues the mixture of crime, humor and romance (that Ranger makes me all tingly!) gets better and better. High Five is an excellent addition and leaves the reader salivating for Plum's next adventure. (  ) JennSicu | Nov 21, 2009 | I have liked all the Stephanie Plum novels, but I really, really liked High Five. I love the fact that this one deals with family issues. I’d like to think that if one of my family members went missing, I could help put the pieces together to find them. I’d hope not to get my car and everything else blown up , but hey …. that doesn’t happen in real life. Right? Reese Witherspoon and Wendy Finerman are working on a movie based on One for the Money and I really hope they cast The Rock as Ranger. That’s who I imagine when Ranger comes into play. And in this book, he had a bigger role. His character is so shady, it makes you wonder what goes on in his head. It’s a little irritating, but it keeps you guessing. Oh and the porsche and beemer don’t hurt either. And finally, I liked how she ended book 5. You had to start book 6 right away because it left you hanging. Of course I won’t spoil it for you. Open Hot Six! I give High Five 4 bookmarks. ( ) kariannalysis | Oct 30, 2009 | It’s been awhile since I had a chance to read a Stephanie Plum adventure and I’m back to being completely addicted in a matter of minutes. This time Stephanie is in search of her uncle who went missing while running errands and never returned. No one’s worried until a set of photographs show up of a dead body. Not only is Stephanie dealing with crazy family members, trying to make rent when no one is jumping bail, but a new attraction has thrown her for a loop. I keep hearing how great the next few books are, which makes me even more obsessed with getting caught up, not to mention this particular adventure ends on a very high cliffhanger and I would really like to know what happens. I wouldn’t be surprised if I get the next one in very very soon. blondierocket | Oct 7, 2009 |  ingen anmeldelser | legg inn en anmeldelse

The speaker is Stephanie Plum, the glamorous if slightly ditzy bounty hunter from Trenton, New Jersey, and one of the most original creations in recent mystery fiction.
In this fifth entry in Janet Evanovich's increasingly popular series, Stephanie's problems are many and varied. She's not making enough money picking up FTAs (Failures to Appear) for her cousin Vinnie, of Vincent Plum Bail Bonds; her red-hot love affair with Detective Joe Morelli has cooled off; and her giant extended family is no help at all. For instance, Uncle Fred the cheapskate has disappeared, leaving behind some suspicious photographs of body parts in garbage bags and links to some really dangerous people.
When Stephanie turns to her friend and mentor, Ranger, for financial advice, he gets her involved in a gang of toughs doing instant evictions for landlords. (She complains to Ranger about the job and its dangers, prompting one of the hired thug to say, "Man, you don't like to get shot. You don't like to get arrested. You don't know how to have fun at all.")
Most of Stephanie's charm, of course, comes from her attitude--a combination of the brazen bravado that turns a failed lingerie model into a bounty hunter in the first place and the normal fears of a person in over her head.
Other Plums in paperback, by the numbers: One for the Money, Two for the Dough, Three to Get Deadly, and Four to Score. --Dick Adler
