Curious Minds
by Janet Evanovich
I really enjoyed this book - it's an easy-read Evanovich story.
The protagonist, Riley Moon, was likeable (probably a little too much like Stephanie Plum for me), but the male lead, Emerson Knight, was interesting. Now, I mean interesting, in a 'can't say I've seen this before' way. Emerson is an eccentric billionaire, who is hot. And when they say 'eccentric' in the story, he comes across as borderline Asperger's - and as someone who has had a boss with Asperger's before - it can be funny, but it can also be annoying.
I like Evanovich as a writer, but it's all the same synopsis if you want to be critical. All the books (with the exception of the romance novels) feature the same storyline (crime occurs, car details, follow the clues crime solving, funny family member/sidekick, cute sexual tension between characters, solve crime). This is really no different.
However, it's a well done (and proven) formula, and I enjoyed meeting the new characters, and look forward to more adventures with them.
