Rezension(4): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: October 28, 2013 This first book in a new series by Evanovich and Goldberg follows hard-nosed FBI agent Kate O’Hare, who is on the hunt for charismatic conman Nick Fox, who besides being her query is also (unfortunately for Kate) her “dream man.” Kate finds Nick, catches him, he escapes, and the next thing she knows, they’re teamed at the FBI to bring down an even bigger threat. Scott Brick does a fine job narrating the book—his reading is brisk and clear. Brick especially excels at depicting the sexually charged banter between Kate and Nick. He imbues both characters with distinct personalities. Kate is uptight, struggling with her baser instincts around Nick. And Nick is magnetic—both coy and wisecracking. For readers who want a breezy adventure, this is the perfect production. A Bantam hardcover. "

Inhalt: " NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER He's a charming con man and she's a dedicated FBI agent, and they're about to drive each other crazy . again! The FBI had one demand when they secretly teamed up Special Agent Kate O'Hare with charming con man Nicolas Fox--bring down the world's most-wanted and untouchable felons. This time it's the brutal leader of a global drug-smuggling empire. The FBI doesn't know what their target looks like, where he is, or how to find him, but Nick Fox has a few tricks up his sleeve to roust this particular Knipschildt chocolate--loving drug lord. From the streets of Nashville to the back alleys of Lisbon, from the rooftops of Istanbul to the middle of the Thames, Nick and Kate chase their mark. When they find themselves pitted against a psychopathic bodyguard and a Portuguese enforcer who gets advice from a pickled head, they decide it's time to enlist some special talent--talent like a machete-wielding Somali pirate, a self-absorbed actor, an Oscar-winning special effects artist, and Kate's father Jake, a retired Special Forces operative. Together they could help make this Fox and O'Hare's biggest win yet . if they survive. Praise for The Job This suspense series continues to mix the humor from [Janet] Evanovich and [Lee] Goldberg's books with the intricate cons seen in the best episodes of Mission: Impossible .

Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: February 2, 2015 This new caper, featuring by-the-book FBI Agent Kate O’Hare and raffish playboy/thief Nick Fox, sends the crime-busting odd couple across the globe squabbling and searching for a mysterious international drug lord they hope to swindle and put away. Following the only available clue to his identity—an addiction to Knipschildt chocolates—they get close enough to put themselves in jeopardy not just with him and his sadistic significant other, but with an assortment of bizarre and sinister types, including a vicious bodyguard who follows the advice of the preserved head of one of his Portuguese ancestors. Though the authors have not given the picked head any dialogue, robbing reader Brick of the opportunity of creating something profoundly original, they have included FBI agents and criminals with an assortment of accents, from Southern to Spanish. It’s Brick’s narrative style to keep such inflections subtle. His main focus is on Fox and O’Hare: her voice has a hard edge that softens slightly only during her unguarded moments with Nick, while his remains wryly amused and playful until he senses Kate is in danger. Brick has no problem following the authors’ lead, revving up the pace during the thrilling sequences, leveling off after the cliffhanger escapes, and lightening up during the moments when the couple is bickering. A Bantam hardcover. "

Inhalt: " FBI agent Kate O'Hare and charming con man Nicholas Fox race against time to uncover a buried train filled with Nazi gold in this thrilling adventure in the romantic and gripping ( Good Housekeeping ) Fox and O'Hare series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich. Straight as an arrow special agent Kate O'Hare and international con man Nick Fox have brought down some of the biggest criminals out there. But now they face their most dangerous foe yet a vast, shadowy international organization known only as the Brotherhood. Directly descended from the Vatican Bank priests who served Hitler during World War II, the Brotherhood is on a frantic search for a lost train loaded with $30 billion in Nazi gold, untouched for over seventy-five years somewhere in the mountains of Eastern Europe. Kate and Nick know that there is only one man who can find the fortune and bring down the Brotherhood the same man who taught Nick everything he knows his father, Quentin. As the stakes get higher, they must also rely on Kate's own father, Jake, who shares his daughter's grit and stubbornness. Too bad they can never agree on anything. From a remote monastery in the Swiss Alps to the lawless desert of the Western Sahara, Kate, Nick, and the two men who made them who they are today must crisscross the world in a desperate scramble to stop their deadliest foe in the biggest adventure of their lives."

Inhalt: Biographisches: "Over the last twenty-five years, Janet Evanovich has written a staggering twenty-four #1 New York Times bestsellers in the Stephanie Plum series. In addition to the Plum novels, Janet has coauthored the New York Times bestselling Fox and O'Hare series, the Knight and Moon series, the Lizzy and Diesel series, the Alexandra Barnaby novels, and the graphic novel, Troublemaker (with her daughter, Alex Evanovich)."

An attempt to take down a master thief from a robbery in the Vatican reveals that Nick Fox's father is behind the effort. Kate O'Hare receives orders to arrest Nick and his father, but she soon learns the bigger picture. Now, if she wants to stop a plot and a treasure hunt with massive ramifications, she will have to defy orders and follow her gut. She has trusted Nick before, but can she rely on him to act honorably since his father is involved? VERDICT This is a terrific installment in an engaging series, previously cowritten with Peter Evanovich and Lee Goldberg. Fans of Janet Evanovich will not be disappointed,her writing blends perfectly with the award-winning mastery of Hamilton (Alex McKnight thrillers). The globetrotting only adds to the enjoyment of what is arguably even better than her Stephanie Plum books. Mission: Impossible meets National Treasure in this winner that one hopes will be the first of many more adventures and more collaboration with Hamilton. --Jeff Ayers, formerly with Seattle P.L.Copyright 2021 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission. " Rezension(4): "〈a href=https://www.booklistonline.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/booklist_logo.png alt=Booklist border=0 /〉〈/a〉: March 15, 2021 In the seventh Fox and O'Hare novel (after The Big Kahuna, 2019), FBI agent Kate O'Hare and partner Nick Fox engage in a series of breathtaking chases across Europe and Africa from Vatican City, where they pursue an intrepid thief who turns out to be Nick's father. He has stolen a precious map fragment that, when combined with other pieces hidden in treacherous-to-reach places, will reveal the location of a cache of Nazi-looted gold. O'Hare and her team want to find the treasure to return it to its owners or donate it to a righteous cause, but they are up against enemies with decidedly other plans, one of whom is a seemingly unkillable giant who makes every interaction a brush with grisly death. The duo of Evanovich and Hamilton, each best-selling authors in their own right, start the action on page one and keep up the pace throughout. The dynamic, often-humorous storytelling won't let readers out of its grip, and there's a compelling romantic subplot, to boot. Fans of Evanovich won't need any convincing here, but also offer this one to fans of The Da Vinci Code, as ancient symbols and academic sleuthing play a strong part in the unraveling of the mystery.

Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://lj.libraryjournal.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/libraryjournal_logo.png alt=Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: February 19, 2021 The latest entry in the Fox and O'Hare series (after The Big Kahuna ) continues the grand tradition of popcorn fare fun mixed with an international flair. An attempt to take down a master thief from a robbery in the Vatican reveals that Nick Fox's father is behind the effort. Kate O'Hare receives orders to arrest Nick and his father, but she soon learns the bigger picture. Now, if she wants to stop a plot and a treasure hunt with massive ramifications, she will have to defy orders and follow her gut. She has trusted Nick before, but can she rely on him to act honorably since his father is involved? VERDICT This is a terrific installment in an engaging series, previously cowritten with Peter Evanovich and Lee Goldberg. Fans of Janet Evanovich will not be disappointed,her writing blends perfectly with the award-winning mastery of Hamilton (Alex McKnight thrillers). The globetrotting only adds to the enjoyment of what is arguably even better than her Stephanie Plum books. Mission: Impossible meets National Treasure in this winner that one hopes will be the first of many more adventures and more collaboration with Hamilton. --Jeff Ayers, formerly with Seattle P.L.Copyright 2021 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission. " Rezension(4): "〈a href=https://www.booklistonline.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/booklist_logo.png alt=Booklist border=0 /〉〈/a〉: March 15, 2021 In the seventh Fox and O'Hare novel (after The Big Kahuna, 2019), FBI agent Kate O'Hare and partner Nick Fox engage in a series of breathtaking chases across Europe and Africa from Vatican City, where they pursue an intrepid thief who turns out to be Nick's father. He has stolen a precious map fragment that, when combined with other pieces hidden in treacherous-to-reach places, will reveal the location of a cache of Nazi-looted gold. O'Hare and her team want to find the treasure to return it to its owners or donate it to a righteous cause, but they are up against enemies with decidedly other plans, one of whom is a seemingly unkillable giant who makes every interaction a brush with grisly death. The duo of Evanovich and Hamilton, each best-selling authors in their own right, start the action on page one and keep up the pace throughout. The dynamic, often-humorous storytelling won't let readers out of its grip, and there's a compelling romantic subplot, to boot. Fans of Evanovich won't need any convincing here, but also offer this one to fans of The Da Vinci Code, as ancient symbols and academic sleuthing play a strong part in the unraveling of the mystery.

Con man extraordinaire Nicolas Fox and intrepid FBI agent Kate O’Hare are back for a new and exciting caper.
