"FBI Agent Kate O' Hare is a force of nature, and she's lived for one thing and one thing only: to put the slippery conman known as Nicolas Fox behind bars. Nick is a fed's worst nightmare: exceptionally talented in his line of work, known the world over for being able to pull off some of the most dangerous, high-profile cons. In a cruel twist of fate, Kate's bosses at the FBI force her to covertly partner up with Nick to take down big league crime. Their adventures continue in this exciting third novel in the series"--
Fun easy read, as usual.
I received an advance review copy of The Job in exchange for an honest review, and I'm very glad I did. While getting over a pesky fall cold, a bit of fluff and silliness built around a fairly formulaic crime novel is just the ticket. Evanovich and Goldberg are both very good at writing banter and I enjoy the merry war between Fox and O'Hare.
It's not high art. It's not a suspenseful page turner. It's just good fun. If you're looking for the kind of book that will keep you up at night wondering when the next plot twist will strike, this probably isn't the book for you. If you want a bit of a mental palate cleanser in between heavier books, you may be just as happy as I am. This series is still fresh, light and enjoyable.
