Stephanie Plum · #5
Out of bail skippers and rent money, Stephanie Plum throws caution to the wind and follows in the entrepreneurial bootsteps of Super Bounty Hunter, Ranger, engaging in morally correct and marginally legal enterprises. So, a scumball blows himself to smithereens on her first day of policing a crack house and the sheik she was chauffeuring stole the limo. But hey, nobody's perfect! Anyway, Stephanie has other things on her mind. Her mother wants her to find Uncle Fred who's missing after arguing with his garbage company; homicidal rapist Benito Ramirez is back, quoting scripture and stalking Stephanie; vice cop Joe Morelli has a box of condoms with Stephanie's name on it; and Stephanie's afraid Ranger has his finger on her trigger. The whole gang's here for mirth and mayhem in Janet Evanovich's High Five. Read at your own risk in public places.
When is Stephanie going to at least do a self defence course? She seems stuck, lurching from one crisis to the next, and appears to lack the ability or foresight, to give herself a few more skills...stuck in this dramatic job going nowhere and stuck in her romance also going nowhere... can she change her fate?
I agree. She needs to grow up a bit more. Which is why her and Ranger would be good for each other. She’s smart and lucky with investigating she just needs more training. He values those qualities where Joe wants her quit.
