review 1: What a perfect way to find out if I might like Janet's other work beyond Stephanie Plum (have read the first 3 and really like that series). And though this was a short story, it felt dense with excitement, humor, similes (mostly quite funny and tongue-in-cheek), and obviously fun flirtations.Also, despite being short, multiple scene and point of view shifts were used and handled smoothly and effectively.Best of all, the two main characters promised to be as much fun as Stephanie and Morelli.For me, that's huge! Now I have two super fun series to enjoy from this incredible writer.
review 2: THE SHELL GAME is the story of how FBI Special Agent Kate O'Hare and conman Nicolas Fox first meet.Kate O'Hare is a newly minted Special Agent stuck in her cubicle doing bac
... morekground checks. Nicolas Fox is in the middle of his latest con> the theft of a fifty million dollar Collection of Peruvian an tiquities.The pair collide when O'Hare is assigned to work with the security team guarding the treasure. She meets the boss of Intertect, John Drake, who's in charge of the transfer of the treasure.Of course we know Drake is Fox(no one has ever seen him or are even sure he's more than an urban legend).I've become a fan of the Fox and O'Hare series. Long a fan of goldberg's writing, I'd never read Evanovich before. That will change.five stars no question. less
