If you have not encountered a Janet Evanovich book thus far, you NEED to go out and procure yourself a copy. Any series will do. Janet Evanovich has created many book series, both as a solo writer and as a coupling. She has an extremely entertaining and unique style of writing. I imaging it to be akin to the oral traditions of story telling of old. When you are all sitting around a living room or lounge space and listening to that crazy Aunt regale you with stories of you world travels and the people she has met. The imagination and flourish are worth every bit of the time spent listening.
One such series is the 'Fox and O'Hare' series. The Chase is book #2 in the series. A little bit of background to the characters. Nick Fox is a con artist and art thief. Kate O'Hare is an FBI agent obsessed with bring Nick to justice. As fate would have it, the governmental powers that be have a different idea in mind. One that requires them to work together at the behest of the government.
There is a lot of tension between the two characters. True to form, Janet Evanovich introduces some rather interesting support characters. The story unfolds with an Ocean's Eleven sort of feel to it, only much quirkier. It's a quick read, makes you laugh, and leaves you wanting the next book already.
Lucky for me the next several in this series have since been published and I can divulge in such wishes.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants a quick pick-me-up and wishes to be thoroughly entertained.
Happy reading!
