pan116/150 When books have co-authors, I'm always curious who contributes what. Lee Goldberg, co-author of the first 5 books in the Fox & O'Hare series, must have been in charge of snappy dialogue, clever innuendo, and sexual tension. This book, written without Goldberg, is missing all of these things. What happened to Nick & Kate's relationship?

I also didn't like the change in format. The previous 5 books were set up as heist/scam/stings set up to capture criminals that the regular FBI couldn't touch. Here its just straight forward kidnapping case, no intricate plot, no disguises, no scam that required split second timing. 6d
RamsFan1963 It was pretty much a bummer. I have the last book in the series, The Bounty, that I originally planned to read next, but this was so bad I think I'll wait to finish in 2025. 2 ⭐⭐ 6d
Mollyanna This is disappointing to hear. I‘ve read the first four and love the Nick/Kate relationship and the cons (especially when Willie is part of the plan 😂). I may hold off on book 5 for a bit to savor it. 6d
