Crime

Another fun installment in the Fox & O'Hare series. You have to love the chemistry between the Fox & O'Hare; they work well together and are able to read the other's thoughts easily and go with the flow when the plan changes. ( )

As a team, Nicolas Fox, professional con-man and Kate O'Hare, FBI hot-shot, have a strange dynamic that seems to work for them. Putting them together again to take down a casino owner who happens to be laundering money could be a risky venture.

Book 4 .....
Another fun, action-packed Fox & O'Hare adventure. With the addition of all their friends and dad, the con was once again, elaborate and funny. The surprises kept everyone on their toes with interesting consequences, leading to creative changes. Another fun ride. ( )

A fun, light and quick read. Though not quite as fun and a little more light than the previous volume in the series. An on the nose call-out in the middle of the book compares events to 'The Sting', 'Ocean's 11' and 'The Thomas Crown Affair', though I would throw in 'Remington Steele' and 'Burn Notice' for the added romantic 'tension' and quick pacing.

You've still got a Federal agent working both sides of the law paired with an art thief who's supposed to be helping her pull cons on behalf of the United States government to nab criminals that are beyond the reach of normal investigations. This time around her combat skills are ramped up to Jason Bourne levels and he's got international connections that are worthy of James Bond. They bring in several of their usual cohorts to scam a casino owner who'd using his gambling operations to help mobsters, pirates and terrorists launder their money.

This paragraph is lifted from my review of the previous book: Just like a television movie, none of the story makes any sense when submitted to any scrutiny. The capers are paper thin. The characters are cardboard flat. Real motivation is missing in action. And yet, like a television movie, it's fast-paced, colorful, and eye-catching.

Pick this up for a read on a plane trip or sitting on the beach and the minutes will fly by.

Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book for review. ( )

Such a fun read, and the ending had me yelling out loud! ( )
