Description

#1 New York Times bestselling author and “thriller master” (Mystery and Suspense Magazine) Janet Evanovich returns with the launch of a “tense, suspenseful, funny, and wise” (Lee Child) series blending wild adventure, hugely appealing characters, and pitch-perfect humor.

Lost something? Gabriela Rose knows how to get it back. As a recovery agent, she’s hired by individuals and companies seeking lost treasures, stolen heirlooms, or missing assets. She’s reliable, cool under pressure, and well trained in weapons of all types. But Gabriela’s latest job isn’t for some bamboozled billionaire, it’s for her own family, whose home is going to be wiped off the map if they can’t come up with a lot of money fast.

Inspired by an old family legend, Gabriela sets off for the jungles of Peru in pursuit of the Ring of Solomon and the lost treasure of Lima. But this job comes with a huge problem attached to it—Gabriela’s ex-husband, Rafer. It’s Rafer who has the map that possibly points the way to the treasure, and he’s not about to let Gabriela find it without him.

Rafer is as relaxed as Gabriela is driven, and he has a lifetime’s experience getting under his ex-wife’s skin. But when they aren’t bickering about old times the two make a formidable team, and it’s going to take a team to defeat the vicious drug lord who has also been searching for the fabled ring. A drug lord who doesn’t mind leaving a large body count behind him to get it.

“A rollicking adventure and a great start to a new series” (Booklist, starred review), The Recovery Agent will have you clamoring for more and cheering for the unstoppable Gabriela Rose on every page.

    This book was filled with quick witted characters who kept me smiling. I love the strong female protagonist. The action drew me in from the start and kept me wanting to read more. Such a fun read!

    Most boring book ever. Where is Janet Evanovich and who wrote this? Not sure I’ll risk another book that is not a Stephanie Plum.
  • Meh! Don’t bother

    Don’t waste your time or money. Worst effort by Janet. This is the first book in 15 years that I had to stop reading midway through. Just awful in every respect.

    This is by far her worst book. The name dropping of products became a joke and I’d screen shot to friends. I couldn’t finish. Got to chapter 21 and just had to stop and delete.
  • Coulda been 5 stars . . .

    Love the book, great story but seriously, you know a ton about clothes, spend 10 seconds and google some info about weapons. Ya did good later with the MP5 but did she clear her apartment with a Beretta camera? What caliber is 35mm? And Glock 9? How about Glock 17 9mm or Glock 19 9mm, Glock 9 isn’t a model. Anyway, I do love Janet’s stories and would recommend. 5 stars with some effort on the weapons. :-)
