Today we have another book that I recently finished an enjoyed so… here I am sharing it with you. 🙂 High Five is a murder mystery by Jane Evanovich. Reviewing just because I want to and yes, I’ll link to amazon so you can find it easily should you be so inclined.
This book showcases bounty hunter Stephanie Pluim and just takes in her life with her somewhat… unique family…and her love life (which doesn’t get overly personal), and the people that she interacts with in her daily life. Her family is odd…but what family isn’t a bit odd? They love each other dearly (at least her immediate family does) and at times have an interesting way of showing it. She’s a character who makes me laugh and sometimes… that’s just exactly what I need. 🙂
Talking about the Book
I can’t remember how long ago it was that I was introduced to the Stephanie Pluim series by Janet Evanovich. First you get a gal with all kinds of attitude and lots of get up and go but not a real financial whiz at all. Add in a quirky family and an interesting job as a bounty hunter… that often turns into a murder investigation… and you have a story that will intrigue and make you laugh.
High Five starts with Uncle Fred and a cancelled cheque. Shouldn’t be that hard to figure right? Well, before you know it, bodies are dropping in all sorts of unexpected places. The family gets involved and poor Stephanie has to deal with the fall-out.
Bad guys abound… and one bad guy really is a scary, mentally ill, sorta really bad. Didn’t much like him.
But the rest… just all murder mystery feel to it.
Recommendation
This is not the best Stephanie Pluim novel that I have read, but it made me laugh. Since I brought it to work with me… that laughter evoked conversations with co-workers, which made it all the better.
Is High Five worth reading? For sure. You’ll laugh, shake your head, and be glad that by the end, all the bad guys will have been stopped. And that my friend, is always a very good thing. 🙂
