It was good to see some of the other characters from the first book make another appearance. All the characters are very likeable and there are a lot of laughs when you're reading it. You can guess what's going to happen but it's a nice easy read.
Nicolas Fox and Agent Kate O'Hare are back in action – better yet, Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg are back and better than ever. This time their target is none other than the head of a multinational security force/private army owned by the former White House Chief of Staff. Easy pickings, right?
This is just the ticket for readers who miss The A-Team or Leverage – clever schemes improbably pulled off by team of pros to take down a real scoundrel. This team gets around a bit more than the others do (better budgets in books than TV shows) – they globe hop from D.C. to Shanghai, to Montreal and more – even the Scottish hinterlands. The shenanigans in Montreal, in particular, were hilarious and ever so smooth.
I enjoyed The Heist (my review) – a lot, actually – but this was better. Everything – the interplay between the characters, the plot, the crazy schemes that Fox & O'Hare cooked up (individually and together), the new guys, the villains – all of it worked better this time out. If these two are this polished on book two, I can't wait to see what Evanovich and Goldberg are like by the time they get to five or so.
