The Bounty Book Review

I went through the list of the new releases at the library and was excited to see the next installment of the Fox and O'Hare series which I have really enjoyed.  I reserved it and waited a long time while it went through all of the people that were way more on top of things and reserved it earlier. I was so excited when The Bounty: A Novel (7) (A Fox and O'Hare Novel) by Janet Evanovich finally came on to my reserve shelf so that I would get to read this fun book.  It has all the fun of the Castle television series with the drama of FBI versus criminal.

 

FBI agent Kate O’Hare and charming criminal Nick Fox race against time to uncover a buried train filled with Nazi gold in this thrilling adventure in the “romantic and gripping” (Good Housekeeping) Fox and O’Hare series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich. Straight as an arrow special agent Kate O’Hare and international criminal Nick Fox have brought down some of the biggest bad guys out there. But now they face their most dangerous foe yet—a vast, shadowy international organization known only as the Brotherhood. Directly descended from the Vatican Bank priests who served Hitler during World War II, the Brotherhood is on a frantic search for a lost train loaded with $30 billion in Nazi gold, untouched for over seventy-five years somewhere in the mountains of Eastern Europe.

Kate and Nick know that there is only one man who can find the fortune and bring down the Brotherhood—the same man who taught Nick everything he knows—his father, Quentin. As the stakes get higher, they must also rely on Kate’s own father, Jake, who shares his daughter’s grit and stubbornness. Too bad they can never agree on anything. From a remote monastery in the Swiss Alps to the lawless desert of the Western Sahara, Kate, Nick, and the two men who made them who they are today must crisscross the world in a desperate scramble to stop their deadliest foe in the biggest adventure of their lives.

The book was off to a fast start with Kate and Nick on loan to the Vatican to try to help them increase their security and find the flaws.  However they didn't believe that they were going to be broken into so they didn't take the advice very seriously.  When they were broken into and it just so happened to be Nick's father that was the robber, they immediately decided that it was an inside job.  Although they ere surprised when he stole a map instead of the highest priced item the ring they were expecting.  Nick froze when he saw who was breaking in and then decided that he and Kate were on the job to find his father.  It was a fun story from there because there was so much action and adventure.  Every time I read these books I think about how great they would be as a TV show or movie because there is so much going on.  It reminded me of a Indiana Jones movie where they were hunting for buried Nazi gold and they needed all of the other people to help them find it.  Nick and Kate followed the clues with the help of their fathers.  It was a great story and made it hard to put down because you wanted to find out what was going to happen next. I hope that you check out this book and the rest of this great series.  I am amazed that there are 7 books in this series already.  I hope that you start at the beginning and follow the great journey through Kate and Nick's relationship to see how they got to where they are in this book!  I know I enjoyed all of them and I hope that you will too.
