I am still struggling to make the switch to digital books. Some ebooks like Romances or Comedic Mysteries like Janet Evanovich's books are easy to read on ebook readers but textbooks or books about heavy topics like science are harder to read.But, I continue to explore my options, so it was nice to see I could drop a buck for a few laughs.This ebook is really a chapter from Evanovich and Goldberg's book "The Heist." But, it captures the conflict between the two main characters, Kate O'Hare and Nicolas Fox.While you get to know the two characters as Fox plans a robbery and Kate tracks him down, the ending is meant to leave you wanting more.I like Evanovich's descriptions of cubicle life and her character Cosmos Uno and his funny conversations like when he chatters about a recent killed criminal:"He accidentally walked into a bullet. You live by the sword, and you die by the sword. What goes around comes around. Am I right, or am I right?”Of course, Kate loves junk food. Of course, she is competent at her job and there are stumblebums around her as the impeccable Nicholas Fox escapes, again.The short story brightened my afternoon.
