Disappointing read for me. I love her Stephanie Plum series but this one the characters just came off as dumb and unrealistic

Summer reading gold...

I enjoyed reading Curious Minds and I had trouble putting it down. Funny and pretty darn interesting for a read on the lighter side. This will really get you thinking about Gold and monetary systems while keeping things light and funny. This was my first Evanovich, and I would definitely read another. I've had One for the Money tucked away for awhile, so I'll be getting to that a little later this Summer. My only complaint would be this is a little too light and glossy, but that's what I was looking for and serves as a really enjoyable pallate cleanser. Fantastic Summer read, really.

Something new, at least for me, from Janet Evanovich! I like the chemistry between Knight and Moon. The first book made we want to read more! Not at all like the Stephanie Plum series, which is good.

My mom loves Janet Evanovich and recommended this book. As my first foray into Evanovich's writing, I was underwhelmed. The characters were bland archetypes: wealthy autism-spectrum eccentric partners with Harvard-educated (this was repeated with fervor to compensate for the character's unremarkable contributions to the story) Texas girl. They uncovered a plot of corruption, previously unobserved, that ascended to the highest levels of government. Suuurrreee. As much as I enjoy the easy escapism of cozy mysteries, I merely found this to be an adequate representation of the genre.

While the plot was interesting, I was very disappointed in the characters. It seems that Evanovich has only one female lead character, she just changes the name to got the series, and while the quips are cute and it's an easy read, I found myself hoping for the end. All surface and no substance.

This review is for the audiobook - The worst narrative I've ever listened to. Totally unbelievable voices. Fortunately, the story was good enough to keep me listening despite the several times I wanted to rip the thumb drive out of my car stereo and throw it out the window due to such a terrible narration.

I found the main female character whined a lot. I found the main male character just a tad too eccentric to be believable. But I got caught up in the question of how they solve this mystery enough to finish it.

I won't read another though.
