#1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich returns with the launch of a blockbuster new series that blends wild adventure, hugely appealing characters, and pitch-perfect humor, proving once again why she’s “the most popular mystery writer alive” (The New York Times). Lost something? Gabriela Rose knows how to get it back. As a recovery agent, she’s hired by individuals and companies seeking lost treasures, stolen heirlooms, or missing assets of any kind. She’s reliable, cool under pressure, and well trained in weapons of all types. But Gabriela’s latest job isn’t for some bamboozled billionaire, it’s for her own family, whose home is going to be wiped off the map if they can’t come up with a lot of money fast. Inspired by an old family legend, Gabriela sets off for the jungles of Peru in pursuit of the Ring of Solomon and the lost treasure of Lima. But this particular job comes with a huge problem attached to it—Gabriela’s ex-husband, Rafer. It’s Rafer who has the map that possibly points the way to the treasure, and he’s not about to let Gabriela find it without him. Rafer is as relaxed as Gabriela is driven, and he has a lifetime’s experience getting under his ex-wife’s skin. But when they aren’t bickering about old times the two make a formidable team, and it’s going to take a team to defeat the vicious drug lord who has also been searching for the fabled ring. A drug lord who doesn’t mind leaving a large body count behind him to get it. The Recovery Agent marks the start of an irresistible new series that will have you clamoring for more and cheering for the unstoppable Gabriela Rose on every page.

I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Recovery Agent manages to balance itself between being a action thriller and a lighthearted romp without veering too far in either direction. One of the few books I've come across that has made me actually laugh out loud.
Having said that, it didn't stick the landing and the ending left much to be desired. But hey, the journey is just as important as the destination, so I'm not going to let the ending nullify my enjoyment of the rest of the book.
A great first book in a series. I did like the characters! A very easy read.
This was a fun read with Gabriela being a recovery agent going around the world getting items back to their owners. When her grandmother tells her a ghost named Annie tells her to find something Gabbie winds up going around the world with her ex-husband and getting into one scrap after another. Think Stephanie Plum but able to handle guns and fight like a pro. Loved this and look forward to reading more of this series.
