The third installment of The Fox and O'Hare series is a good one. It's not as complicated as the first two, but it has a solid plot, reappearances of the same crazy team, leaves you hanging in a way that isn't annoying.
I have read several reviews despairing over the "plot-driven" tendencies of this series. Isn't that the basis of a good story, though? Whacky characters and crazy antics can take you so far. Without a decent plot we're left with 350 pages of idiocy and lusting after two guys with very little actually occurring. Fox and O'Hare are the example that Stephanie Plum needs to follow- fewer shenanigans, more focus on busting bad guys.
The Job by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg: Fun, mysterious, and full of action. Read it, but not before The Heist and The Chase. Available from booksellers and libraries now.
