He wants to view these gold bars and his bank sends a junior representative in Riley Moon to tell him that nope, you can’t just go and look at them but sure, they’re totally safe. Emerson Knight is one of these – he’s inherited a ginormous amount of money which is held in the form of gold bars. I’ve read a slew of books recently with characters that are brilliant but “eccentric”. Perhaps the fact that it’s….co-written? (I don’t even know how this works) with someone else, will mean that the crazy Evanovich things that bug me (old people, fat jokes, animal moments) will be missing from this new offering. It was time to cut my losses.īut apparently I can’t fully quit Evanovich because the promise of a new series has me clicking the request button on NetGalley to see what is being offered up. I got sick of rating them 1 star and being disappointed with pretty much each installment. And then I read them from my local library until 21 and then I just gave up completely. I loved the Stephanie Plum books until probably number eleven but I hung in there, buying them until I think, 16 or 17. If anyone had asked me between the years 2000-2006 what my favourite author was, I would’ve said Janet Evanovich with absolutely zero hesitation.

Fond nostalgia mixed with disappointment. A plan so sinister that only a megalomaniac could think it up, and only the unlikely duo of the irrepressibly charming Emerson Knight and the tenacious Riley Moon could hope to stop it… Through the streets of Washington D.C., and down into the underground vault of the Federal Reserve in New York City, an evil plan is exposed. At least, Riley Moon thinks it’s her dream job until she is given her first assignment: babysitting Emerson Knight.Īn inquiry about missing Knight money leads to a missing man, missing gold and a life-and-death race across the country. Her assertive (some people might say aggressive) spitfire attitude has helped land a dream job at Blane-Grunwald bank. Riley Moon has just graduated from Harvard. Good thing he’s also brilliant, rich and (some people might say) handsome. They couldn’t be less compatible, but they make a great team…Įmerson Knight is introverted, eccentric, and has little-to-no sense of social etiquette.
