The Chase is the follow-up to The Heist, introduced us to tough-as-nails FBI agent, Kate O'Hare and master conman, Nicolas Fox, who have been forced to work together to catch the world's most wanted and untouchable criminals.
In The Chase, Kate and Nick are targeting Carter Grove, a former White House Chief of Staff who has a collection of stolen artwork, one of which is about to set off an international incident with China. How does one go about taking down such a powerful and dangerous man? With more con-artists, Kate's ex-military father, and a lot of explosions.
The chemistry between Nick and Kate is palpable. Nick is forever flirting with Kate, who is always reminding herself that Nick is a criminal. I really like these two characters together and I am looking forward to seeing how their partnership blossoms.
As a Jersey girl, I enjoyed the Stephanie Plum character in Evanovich's other novels. However, I like the Fox and O'Hare novels much better. Maybe it is the lack of New Jersey stereotypes that are in her other books, but I found The Chase and it's predecessor, The Heist, to be much more enjoyable.
I received a free copy of The Chase by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg in exchange for an honest review.
Thanks for reading.
