My Review:

This is the first book in the Fox and O'Hare series by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg. This book initially grabbed my eye because I have read the Stephanie Plum books and am mystery loving junkie! I think that Janet and Lee did a great job of developing the characters so that you felt as the reader you really understood them. In addition, they did a great job of setting the scene for each of the events that took place in the book. I also really enjoyed the comedy and camaraderie that they had between not only Nick and Kate but also the other man characters that took part in the Con. It made you as the reader enjoy the mystery but also allowed a good laugh at the same time.

If there was anything that I would change in the book it would be how long it took to get to the core story of the book. I think that the authors spent too much time in the beginning capturing Nick then they needed to. I think it would have worked if that was the main story of the book but it wasn't. Other than that I think it was a quick easy read that I enjoyed. I am interested to read the next two books in the series.
