Publisher's summary

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. Ranger 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.

Now he's the hunted and Stephanie's the hunter, and it's time for her to test her skills against the master. But if she does catch him...what then? Can she bring herself to turn him in?

Plus there are other things keeping Stephanie awake at night. Her maternal grandmother has set up housekeeping in Stephanie's apartment, a homicidal maniac has selected Stephanie as his next victim, her love life is in the toilet, she's adopted a dog with an eating disorder, and she can't button the top snap on her Levi's.

Experience the world of Plum—in Janet Evanovich's new thriller. It's surreal, it's frenetic, it's incendiary. Hot Six. It's the best yet.

Critic reviews

“Actress Mazar has just the right sassy streetwise accent to fit the first-person voice of Evanovich's hero, Stephanie Plum. Mazar sounds poised yet real in her role as the New Jersey-based bounty hunter. She gamely throws herself into the dramatic ‘bits' along the way, playing out the dialogue scenes with relish.” —Publishers Weekly

“Steph and company make for another helping of energetic entertainment--a savory Plum pudding for her growing army of fans.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A lunatic tapestry of nonstop action peopled by wacky characters straight out of a 1930s screwball comedy...Evanovich just keeps getting better.” —Publisher's Weekly

Again it her voice...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

No and again it's her voice. Cannot get excited about it with her reading them....

What other book might you compare Hot Six to and why?

The one before it.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She has no Omp! Made the story drag on with that boring voice.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Nope had to do it in pieces. Since I started the series I want to complete it but wont be listening any more if she's the narrator!

d.mazurs voice is not Stephanie's

actually, none of the characters were believable as her voice. too monotone. even though the NJ accent was good.

Hot Six

Debi Mazar is a terrible narrator, really takes something away from a good book.

Music

I do not like the music playing in the background between chapters.
It takes away the supense of the story.

The Reader Improved and I Laughed Quite a Bit

Even though these short books kinda jip you, I really enjoyed this one, and liked it more than 5. Same reader, but she got much better! Definitely worth the purchase and listen!

Loved it

The narrator reads a bit fast at times and it sounds awkward when she does but loved her accent.

DOH! It's Abridged...

I did not realize this was the abridged version and definitely did not care for the narrator. She did read it with the breaks where punctuation was. It was very difficult to listen to. Fun story though. I love these books. Just wish I hadn't wasted a free credit on an abridged version.

Got six

The book was very funny and creative. The narrator was another story. Voice was very drab and she read way too fast and unable to understand her!

Read, not performed

I bought this book because I heard it years ago and it was great! The good and unabridged version was performed by CJ Critt, unbeknownst to me when I mistakenly made this purchase. This narrator is just that, a reader. There's little or no difference between characters' voices.

horrible narrator

I love these stories and this series. However, the narrator for book 5 & 6 was hard to listen to. no fluctuation in her tone or voice. This made it difficult discerning which character was talking.
