Hot Six by Janet Evanovich

About the book: (from the website)

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. Manoso 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. More here!

My thoughts: Once again, I listened to this one on audio book.  I especially love to read “fun” books that way. Once again though, the reader has changed and I get annoyed with that!  I develop a schema for the character and changing Stephanie’s voice messes with that… (This one was the toughest adjustment since I think it was the same person who read the Alex Barnaby series and I kept picturing that character.. grrrr!) As for the story, it was typical Stephanie Plum and featured a lot of Grandma Mazur whom I really get a kick out of. With each book the stories are beginning to involve more focus on Steph’s attraction to both Ranger and Joe Morelli.  It will be interesting to see how things continue to develop.
