Unlike previous novels in the Stephanie Plum series, Hot Six begins where High Five left off. We find out which man Stephanie invited to her apartment: Ranger or Morelli. Stephanie calls in a favor to get her friend Carol Zabo not to jump off a bridge and ends up with a new pet. Carol repays her later by helping her shake Joyce Barnhardt…tying Joyce to a tree, naked.
Grandma Mazur moves in, putting a serious dent in Stephanie’s relationship, but she is hilarious as usual. A stoner, Mooner, shows up to hang around Stephanie’s house and eat Grandma Mazur’s cooking.
Stephanie is being followed by two crazy guys and pulls the old flaming-dog-poo-in-a-bag trick with Lula’s help. She drives a far-out Rollswagon for part of the novel.
Ranger is FTA and Stephanie begins looking for him, not to collect, but to help. Problem is that Stephanie is far from the only person looking for Ranger and it appears that he may have killed someone and stolen a lot of money.
This was not my favorite book in the series, but it’s a great one. One of my favorites parts is Joyce getting jumped and tied to the tree.
Car deaths
This is a list of cars destroyed or abandoned by Stephanie Plum during the course of the novel.
1. Honda civic, burned up by reefer from Mooner
2. Rollswagon, not dead, just abandoned for being junk
3. Lincoln Town Car, hit by Moris Munson driving like crazy
4. Carpet Car, set on fire by flaming dog poop bag

I think all of Evanovich’s books are fun! I’ve just finished reading a couple of her earlier “romance” books…cheesy, but lots of fun. I can totally how Stephanie Plum emerged from them.
I really love your car death count!
