The Chase

Publisher's Summary

Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg, New York Times best-selling authors of The Heist, return in this action-packed, exciting adventure featuring master con artist Nicolas Fox and die-hard FBI agent Kate O'Hare. And this time around, things go from hot to nuclear when government secrets are on the line.

Internationally renowned thief and con artist Nicolas Fox is famous for running elaborate and daring scams. His greatest con of all: convincing the FBI to team him up with the only person who has ever caught him, and the only woman to ever capture his attention, Special Agent Kate O'Hare. Together they'll go undercover to swindle and catch the world's most wanted - and untouchable - criminals.

Their newest target is Carter Grove, a former White House chief of staff and the ruthless leader of a private security agency. Grove has stolen a rare Chinese artifact from the Smithsonian, a crime that will torpedo U.S. relations with China if it ever becomes public. Nick and Kate must work under the radar - and against the clock - to devise a plan to steal the piece back. Confronting Grove's elite assassins, Nick and Kate rely on the skills of their ragtag crew, including a flamboyant actor, a Geek Squad techie, and a band of AARP-card-carrying mercenaries led by none other than Kate's dad.

A daring heist and a deadly chase lead Nick and Kate from Washington, D.C., to Shanghai, from the highlands of Scotland to the underbelly of Montreal. But it'll take more than death threats, trained henchmen, sleepless nights, and the fate of a dynasty's priceless heirloom to outsmart Fox and O'Hare.

A fun listen

Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg have written an excellent and fun book in The Chase. Having Scott Brick, my favorite narrator, read it adds to the pleasure of listening. I hope Evanovick and Goldberg will keep the same two main characters and make this the first of a series.

Fox and O'Hare are a great treat!

I am loving this new series. The problem is that now that I've had a taste, I'm concerned the authors can't write new books fast enough to satisfy my appetite. Chemistry, intelligence, and fun, I want more!

Laugh out Loud funny and keeps your attention

Would you consider the audio edition of The Chase to be better than the print version?

Having not read this book in print I don't feel I can answer this fairly, but it is a great listen and, I'm sure, a great read.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite characters are both Kate and Nicholas - and Boyd Capwell!! O'Hare and Fox for obvious reasons - the dichotomy, the chemistry and their combined creative imaginative ways they look at problems. Boyd Capwell for his talent and his serious commitment to his craft!

Which scene was your favorite?

The plane scene was my favorite.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

It's all about the chase.

Any additional comments?

none.

Love the humor, but kind of the same story

What made the experience of listening to The Chase the most enjoyable?

I enjoy listening to Janet Evanovich's books. However, they are starting to have the same story lines and that is getting a little old.

A Team Part 2

The Heist was like reading an A-Team script. This one was even more unbelievable and a little less enjoyable. But the series is still fun and I look forward to #3.

Entertaining

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes - the book is an easy listen and entertaining.

What did you like best about this story?

The author keeps the story moving along and does not go off on sub plots or dive in to drab details.

Which scene was your favorite?

There were a couple of twists and turns, but the ending was worthy of the build-up

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Oceans 11 meets born identity

Any additional comments?

The only negative would be the narrator. He did a good job, but you need a few chapters to get used to his style of reading. Almost like he is reluctant to be doing this if that makes sense?

The Series just gets better and better

Finished this book in only a couple of days and was not disappointed. The series that just makes you smile and feel good. Highly recommend.

Love it!

I am really enjoying this series. Although there is the normal cop thing, the humour makes the big difference! The cons are unbelievable!
Scott Brick is the best!!
