Yep, Pros and Cons just about sums it up....  There are pros to the story and that is it is slightly different than the Stephanie Plum series.  The con is is almost sounds a little similar in technique as the Plum series.This short single is the introduction story to the next book called The Heist.  It gives us a little look into the characters and what it is going to be about.  Yet again, we have a woman agent working somewhere within the law (Stephanie Plum was a recovery agent, but Kate O'Hare is a FBI agent), falling short in their apprehensions, and another love interest that will definitely go nowhere any time soon.  Yes, there is suspense, a little humor, and some action, but I have to be honest....  the formula seems too familiar.  That is where I believe that the next book, The Heist, will generate some interest, but will fall short in where the enjoyment all fans of Ms. Evanovich's earlier works have managed to have.  Not to downplay Mr. Goldberg's hand in this story.  It is noticeable where he participates and where Ms. Evanovich jumps in.I am not all that confident in that next book if this introduction seemed to fall a little flat for me.  Chances are I will check out the book, The Heist, at the local library and read it.  I just do not see the book being worthy of the investment.  Both authors did a good job writing the story, but it just lacks the magic I know they are capable of doing.3 stars: Not bad, but not great...
