Book Review By BethG
High Five by Janet Evanovich

Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter, is back in the fifth book of the series. This time crime close to home--her uncle Fred is missing and she is asked to find him. The longer he stays missing, the more Stephanie figures there's something bigger going on. To help her she has returning characters Joe Morelli, her on-again off-again lover and the mysterious and sexy Ranger, and Bunchy, an FBI agent who wants to find Fred too.
