Our view
“High Five” finds Stephanie Plum on dependable form in a light, funny mystery with a little romance on the side. In Janet Evanovich’s fifth novel about the bounty hunter, some readers find the mystery more satisfying than in earlier books and the slapstick a touch more restrained. Others feel the formula is beginning to repeat itself from one novel to the next. It suits readers who like their crime with a comic streak.
