Okay so this was a VERY short story, but it sure does give us a good taste of what we can expect from this new team of writers!  It also gives us a great idea just what we can expect from the type of story it is going to be. Janet Evonovich and Lee Goldberg, both have a lot of experience when it comes to the written word and that experience sure does show in this story.This is a clever concept.  We have Kate O'Hare an FBI agent with a mission.  She just has to nail con artist Nicolas Fox, who has a very unique way of ripping people off.  Plus he happens to aim for the, let us just say, less desirable of the rich, so you don't feel to badly for those who have been  scammed. Well maybe for the organ transplant patients you will. We'll have to see just how that all works out! We won't know how that works out until the full book comes outThe Heist: A Novel.The idea of teaming  male/female authors like this is not a new one -it worked very, very well for Jennifer Cruise and Bob Mayer with the most excellent bookAgnes and the Hitmanwhich is one of my all time favorites.  I can only hope it works as well for these two authors.As usual the writing is crisp and funny, the character descriptions are vivid and the situations that the main characters get into are quite humorous.  The secondary character are just so-so right now, but I think with a longer book they will come into their own.This is not a bad way of finding out whether you are going to like the actual book before shelling out those big book bucks!I wonder - will they fall in love? And if so, how is this writing team going to justify it?
