The Recovery Agent by Janet Evanovich
3.0
Gabriela Rose is a recover agent, hired by people to find lost treasures, hidden heirlooms or missing assets. Her latest job is for her family though not a billionaire, and their home is riding on her coming up trumps. Jetting off to Peru to find some lost treasure, Gabriela finds herself working side by side with her ex husband Rafer. Can the two of them put their differences aside to find the treasure and save their home town?
I picked this up to listen to as an easy read, again looking for a break from the crime thrillers I tend to gravitate to. It was a great book for light relief, almost a palate cleanser for my ears.
I had no idea what to expect from this one, but enjoyed the early books in the Stephanie Plum series and figured Evanovich is probably a good choice for something a bit different. It definitely fit my criteria.
I liked Gabriela. She's a lot more competent than Plum, and can definitely hold her own coming up against treasure hunters, drug dealers and thugs. I liked that she doesn't need a guy to save/help her all the time. Basically she's a badass!
Storyline wise it's fast paced and full of plenty of action, but not a lot of details on the how and why. The characters jet around from place to place hunting treasure, but there's not an awful lot of expanation on how they know where to go. The book is also chock full of banter and sexual tension between the two main characters. Think action movie but in book format.
Ultimately this delivered on what I was looking for, which was some light relief and a change of tone, but I won't be rushing out to read the rest of the series.
