Many of us can't get enough of Evanovich and her varied collaborations. This pairing with Sutton is a solid and enjoyable venture. Hopefully this will prove to be a long-running effort.
What's different about this book
Much is the same: Evanovich repartee, an appreciation of the older, wiser characters in life, and the fun friction between independent-minded individuals. The male protagonist in this new series is different: in the beginning of the novel Emerson Knight is so eccentric as to be socially inadept - painfully so. But as the plot develops in pace with the characters, Emerson is more than amazingly wealthy and moves beyond bumbling. The pairing with Riley Moon, credentialed but inexperienced, begins to work -- by the resolution of this first book there is hope that following novels in the series will be increasingly engaging and compelling.
What I'll do now that I've read it
A wide range of my library patrons enjoy Evanovich mystery/suspense/romance novels. Evanovich's name along will assure we purchase this new venture for our readers. The collaborative shading and depth that Sutton adds may make this venture a compelling one that we will continue to enjoy! Definitely worth a try.
