FBI special agent Kate O’Hare has made it her mission to nail international con artist Nicolas Fox. When she discovers his plot to plunder a venture capitalist’s twentieth-story Chicago penthouse of all its cash and treasures while the self-proclaimed “King of Hostile Takeovers” is getting married, Kate is 85 percent—okay maybe 92 percent—sure that she’s finally going to bag Nick Fox.
Problem is, first Kate has to convince her boss, building security, and maybe even herself, that wedding planner Merrill Stubing is actually Nicolas Fox. Second, she has to figure out how to corner and capture him without disrupting the event of the year. And third, what’s going to happen once O’Hare finally gets her hands on Fox? It’s going take a pro to catch a con before the fireworks over Lake Michigan go off.
I picked up this short story when I realized I needed something that could be read in one sitting for the Monthly Motif Challenge hosted over at girlXOXO. I have been reading Janet Evanovich books for forever but I didn’t discover her Fox and O’Hare series until just after having my daughter. I have already read the available books and adore them. I plan on rereading them this summer so I can review them but this is my first time reading one of the short stories.
This was a fun introduction to Kate and her intense desire to track down the dastardly Nick Fox once and for all. Reading it reminded me of why I love Janet Evanovich’s writing so much. Truly a perfect choice for a light, laughter-filled summer read. I’m 92% sure.
If you are looking for a very quick read to introduce you to the amusing world of Kate O’Hare then definitely pick up Pros and Cons.
