Description: Kate O'Hare is an FBI agent. Nick Fox is a con man and #7 on the FBI's most wanted list. They team up to capture criminals who are beyond capture by legal means. This is the third book in the series.
Plot: In this book, Nick and Kate go after a drug lord with a taste for fine chocolate and a love of art and other treasures. They concoct an elaborate con using a ridiculous amount of money, which does strain credibility at times, but if you can get past that, it does makes sense and there's a lot of humor.
Characterization: The characters are reasonably well developed and had their own personalities. Some of the secondary characters are wild and crazy [an actor who takes his roles much too seriously, a lady who loves driving/racing anything with a motor, a Somali pirate, Kate's father who loves explosives a little too much, etc], adding much color and humor to the story.
Setting: Nashville, Portugal, Istanbul, France, England. The descriptions were good, I was able to picture every scene without it being over-described.
Other: The con does strain credibility.
Overall: A good, light mystery/thriller. Funny. The audio book is read by Scott Brick and he's awesome, a unique and appropriate voice for each character, including foreign accents.
Grade: B
