Hot Six: Summary and book reviews of Hot Six by Janet Evanovich, plus links to an excerpt from Hot Six and a biography of Janet Evanovich.

Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum and Trenton vice cop Joe Morelli join forces to find the madman killer who shot and barbecued the youngest son of international black-market arms dealer Alexander Ramos. Carlos Manoso, street name Ranger, is caught on video just minutes before the crime occurs. He's at the scene, he's with the victim, and he's the number-one suspect. Ranger is former special forces turned soldier of fortune. He has a blue-chip stock portfolio and no known address. He moves in mysterious circles. He's Stephanie's mentor--the man who taught her everything she knows about fugitive apprehension. And he's more than her friend. Now he's the hunted and Stephanie's the hunter, and it's time for her to test her skills against the master. But if she does catch him...what then? Can she bring herself to turn him in? Plus there are other things keeping Stephanie awake at night. Her maternal grandmother has set up housekeeping in Stephanie's apartment, a homicidal maniac has selected Stephanie as his next victim, her love life is in the toilet, she's adopted a dog with an eating disorder, and she can't button the top snap on her Levi's. Experience the world of Plum--in Janet Evanovich's new thriller. It's surreal, it's frenetic, it's incendiary. Hot Six. It's the best yet.

The New York Times Book Review - Marilyn Stasio Luckily for Stephanie, the inventive mind that got her into this giddy mess is clever enough to dig her out of it.   The New York Times Book Review - Marilyn Stasio Luckily for Stephanie, the inventive mind that got her into this giddy mess is clever enough to dig her out of it.   Booklist - GraceAnne A. DeCandido If you were angry with Evanovich at the end of High Five, when she coyly didn't tell us which of Stephanie Plum's two studmuffins the Jersey Girl-bounty hunter called for a tryst, you'll soon forgive her...Wow! Can't wait for the next one.   Publishers Weekly Lunatic ... tapestry of nonstop action peopled by wacky characters straight out of a 1930s screwball comedy... Evanovich... keeps getting better.   Publishers Weekly Lunatic ... tapestry of nonstop action peopled by wacky characters straight out of a 1930s screwball comedy...

I admit that at first I had a strong fascination with the loveable, yet bumbling bounty hunter that is Stephanie Plum. I eagerly picked up the number books one after another, but after "Hot Six" I think the love affair is over. Besides...   Read More

Janet Evanovich gets better with each new Plum book. As a fellow Jersey girl I can relate to the local & family happenings in the book. Love Grandma......Can't wait for Hard 8 to see what Stephanie & grandma are up to next.
