The Heist

The Heist by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg is pure, light-hearted summer fluff.  We follow the adventures of FBI Special Agent Kate O’Hare and Nicolas Fox a con man extraordinaire as they plot to bring a corrupt investment banker to justice.  The book is a quick read and is reasonably enjoyable.  I will confess that I did not like the character of Nicolas Fox which can be a problem in a book like this that does not have much to offer beyond characters interacting around an implausible plot. 

Nevertheless, fans of Evanovich will enjoy this book too.
