While still thoroughly enjoyable, I felt that this book was perhaps not as good as the previous books in the series. While I was reading, I kept feeling that something was missing, that little spark that was in all the other books before this. The main characters seemed to be sort of empty, I didn't make as much of a connection with them this time around. This is definitely more serious than the others, I can tell that Goldberg probably wrote the majority of this one, and while I love Goldberg's work, my love for the Monk novels and that writing style is a huge part of what drew me to this series in the first place, it just felt like it was missing some trademark Evanovich-ness. There wasn't a whole lot of funnier moments that made me LOL. It didn't really have the same feel of the rest of the series until the second half. Some of the best parts come from the returning supporting characters, almost all of them were there this time around, and I just can't get enough of them. I loved the ending, no cliffhanger this time. I did still enjoy this installment of the series, and I recommend picking this up if you like the series, though you really have to read the other books to get the full grasp of what's going on. I love this series and I really hope that we'll get more books in the future, I am very much looking forward to those.
I have read every Evanovich book. For me, this was a little too serious! It needed less war, more Jake and Willie type comedy and a little more fun between the main characters. This one wasn't worth the wait...or price. 😩
The book was most excellent!! I love the Nick and Kate dynamics, I am so glad that they are a couple. It frustrates me when authors string you along on a couples relationship. To me it is about the action and plotting of the con.The characters are funny and one my favorites is Kate's dad Jake. I love the line where he tells Kate the third fever he has about the lady at Costo.
This story is different from the previous plots in the series because it is personal this time. Nick has been taken and is being used for the gain of a madman! Kate has to get him back at all costs. In addition to the usual cast some previously introduced characters from previous books were brought back into this scheme and given tidy endings. It was nicely done and now that I have read all the books I appreciated it. This story was full of twists and turns as usual, the comedy was spot on and the relationship between Kate and Nick has gone to a new level.It has all the right action, suspense, and humor that a girl can ask for. What I was not happy about comes down to the editing. In every book all the main characters receive a small introduction for those who this book may be their first time reading this series but this time Kate’s dad Jake was introduced twice. Also, there was a portion towards the end where Kate’s name was in place of the female bad gal. This book felt for the first time that two different authors wrote it and it was edited in such a manner that it was obvious.What a let down. I did enjoy the story and it is worth reading! I just could not believe how poorly it was put together. I am hoping that they will correct the editing snafu’s and maybe republish a second edition. For your reference I read the hardcopy isbn#978-0-553-39277-7. I did rate the story four stars because I truly did enjoy the story. I left off one star because for me I missed some of the quirkiness and tongue-in-cheek that I was used to in the other stories so I felt it was a wee bit lacking. The editing issues complaint is for those of you who will read it, so that you know before hand.
I don't like to review books the way most do. I don't like to talk about the context of the book. I will say that I absolutely love this author. Her Stephine Plum series is one of favorite series of all time. When she stared her other series it was natural for me to read those. This series is very good. I am enjoying the series. The type of books I enjoy are cozy mysteries,thrillers and suspense. This book covers a bit of all three. If you enjoy any of these genre you will enjoy this series.
Evanovich and Goldberg have created a great, fun series. She is known for the Stephanie Plum series and he for the fun TV series, Monk. Fox is a con man --- O'Hara is an FBI agent. But although everyone thinks she is after Fox, they are working together to rid the fold of really, really bad people. This is a quick read - as well as packed with humor. The two gather cohorts to help them con the evil enemy.
The Pursuit is the 5th book of con man Nick Fox & FBI agent Kate O'Hare series. In this book, they work on preventing a terrorist attack in the U.S.This book picks up immediately after the 4th book, The Scam. The supporting characters return. What I've enjoyed about this series is the back and forth dialog and innuendo between Fox and O'Hare. There are many funny moments between the characters, just like in the previous books. What I like about this book and the series is the fast moving pace, makes hard to put down this book. I also enjoy when they off in a foreign location where we are given specific details about certain historical landmarks in those foreign cities. Makes you feel like we are actually there.This is my favorite series and I'm really looking forward to the next book. I definitely recommend this book to those who enjoy mystery/thriller books. To those who've enjoyed the previous books in this series will not be disappointed.
