A banal little novel that seems like a female version of Jandiana Jones. Obviously the characters hop from one European city to another (and even end up in the Saharawi desert without the reason for going there rising above the pretext of making them flee on a camel), obviously there are Nazis involved, and obviously the enemies are practically indestructible: they don't die even if they fall off the Eiffel Tower. Of course, all's well that ends well, and our heroes are ready for the next adventure. Which I'm unlikely to read.
In its defence, the writing is good and the book can help you come to terms with an attack of insomnia.

Another rip-roaring, nonstop action adventure from Evanovich! Always love the snappy dialogue and the attraction/tension between Kate and Nick.

This is book 7 in the Fox and O'Hare series and can be read as a stand alone This is my first book in this series but I'm very much a Janet Evanovich fan. Kate is Nick Fox's "handler" since he is a thief working for the US government. In this book they are looking for the lost gold train the Nazi's hid at the end of WWII. Both Kate and Nick's fathers appear in this story. Beginning at the Vatican and traveling across Europe the team is racing a group of Nazi sympathizers to find the gold. A fast moving mystery with lots of twists and turns. I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I have been a fan of Jane Evanovich for years and have read every Stephanie Plum book. I have to say that I love the O'Hare and Fox series so much more! Kate kicks tail and Fox is a criminal with a heart. This installment was not a disappointment. There was action from beginning to end and I enjoyed the thrill ride.

If you ask me, there is no better way to pass your time by the pool or sitting in a chair on your porch during the summertime than reading a Janet Evanovich book. I have read my way through all of Stephanie Plum's exploits and jumped right into the Fox and O'Hare series.

This book is the seventh in the Fox and O'Hare series, and we finally get to make the adventure a family affair! We get both of our main character's Dads along for the ride, and they bring such a wonderful dynamic. Their knowledge and quips made me laugh and added depth to the interactions that I really enjoyed.

The group is on a quest to follow a trail through history, to attempt to discover a treasure, and to do so they have to go a little more rogue than usual. I laughed out loud at several points and really enjoyed the dialogue. All in all, this was a fun romp that reminded me of National Treasure or Indiana Jones. I highly recommend it.

DNF this one.

I was a fan of the Stephanie Plum novels many years ago. I haven't kept up with them, but thought it might be fun to visit a new-to-me Janet Evanovich series.

I haven't read any of the other Fox and O'Hare books, but I knew from the Stephanie Plum series that this likely wouldn't prevent me from being able to catch up and enjoy the read.

This started out very fast-paced.

Lots of action.

Each scene seemed to be another explosive action item in the plot.

Leading to more explosive action.

So. Much. Action.

If you love action, action, action, this is probably the book for you.

If you need character development, plot development, world-building, etc. then this probably isn't the book for you.

I wasn't able to finish this one. Could be because it wasn't the book for me. Could be because I wasn't at the right time in my life for this one (pandemics do weird things to moods).

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC so that I may provide my fair and honest review.

Kate and Nick are off on a new adventure all over Europe searching for an alleged treasure of Nazi gold.
This was an entertaining read and while some of their adventures and antics seem super far fetched, it was a fun story., It’s like an entertaining movie where it’s totally unrealistic, but you ignore all the impossibilities and just sit back to enjoy the action packed adventure.
Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read for an honest review!

Would not recommend this book. Not engaging and too fantastical. Also, read that this has been cancelled? Is it published now? Disappointing because I was looking forward to it, but it was a skim and scan for me.

A very entertaining and thrilling novel, part heist caper, with a hint of Dan Brown. I wish for more crime novels from Steve Hamilton, one of my favorite author in the genre, but this book was a good reminder of his talent.

Kate and Nick are just the best. The friendly banter, the romantic tension, and their ethical and moral dilemmas with each other are just so much fun to read. Keep this series rolling, please!

Again more books that can blow the shit out of my mind!
I enjoy this book as I enjoy the others!
Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC

Her books are just so hard to put down, they always leave you wanting more! Follow Kate and Nick on another adventure to find a lost treasure. Throw in their Dads and you have another read you can’t put down!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own

Most of my reader friends know I love my Stephanie Plum books. I look forward to them every year. As far as Janet Evanovich writing with another author, this book is at the top of the list. It combines the fun and adventure I crave with historical facets set around the Nazis. It was definitely a privilege to read a copy of this book provided by NetGalley. But again, will obtaining an hardback version too.

Have you heard of the Nazi gold train (Wałbrzych)? I apparently live under a rock, because I hadn’t until I received a publisher galley of Janet Evanovich’s latest book, The Bounty. Unfortunately, this is just an urban legend about a train laden with gold and treasure that was hidden by the Nazis in southwest Poland during the last days of World War II, but the book was still a fun read.

Special agent Kate O’Hare and international con man Nick Fox team up for the seventh time to face their most dangerous foe yet—a vast, shadowy international organization known only as the Brotherhood. Directly descended from the Vatican Bank priests who served Hitler during World War II, the Brotherhood is on a frantic search for a lost train loaded with $30 billion in Nazi gold, untouched for over seventy-five years somewhere in the mountains of Eastern Europe. From a remote monastery in the Swiss Alps to the lawless desert of the Western Sahara, the two crisscross the globe in a desperate scramble to stop the bad guys.

The CIA, the FBI, and a WWII treasure map… what’s not to like about that combo? Janet Evanovich’s books always make me smile, and The Bounty was no exception. It’s a romcom and spy thriller all rolled into one Indiana Jones-esque adventure story loaded with historical references. The Bounty was a kick and is perfect for the beach or a staycation. If you are more into audiobooks, this one is narrated by Scott Brick, one of my favorites. 4 stars.

The Bounty is the latest thriller penned by Janet Evanovich and Steve Hamilton,, and it’s as thrilling as all the others. Nick and Kate are accompanied by their dads in this 100 mph adventure that takes us from the Alps to the Sahara, from the top of the Eiffel Tower to the frigid depths of the ocean. The Bounty is the kind of book you should really read in a couple of sittings max- there is a frenetic pace to this one that you can only fully appreciate if you take it in in one big gulp. No doubt about it,, the creativity abounds in this novel, and it’s a satisfying, fun action packed thrill of a ride!

Kate and Nick with their fathers, Jake and Quentin race across Europe in search of the clues to lead them to a trainload of stolen gold. They need to stay ahead of a group known as the Brotherhood , who are after the same treasure and will kill to get it.
I enjoyed this book very much. There was lots of action and excitement as they searched various remote and dangerous locations to find the map pieces. The characters are engaging and work well as a team.
I am eager to see what their next adventure will be.

I’ve read a lot of Janet Evanovich but this is the first one of this series I have attempted. It will most likely be my last. I felt the plot was not clear cut and instead struggled to find an identity. In all fairness perhaps if I had read the other books in the series I would feel differently.

Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This book started so well. Strong characters and interesting story kept the pages turning.
Review copy received from the publisher via Netgalley

Had a lot of fun in reading this story. It's fast paced, full of humour and entertaining.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

it's a shame when work interferes with your reading schedule!!!! I have been dying to read this book and work just got in the way but finally found time... in the middle of the night.

Evanovich and Hamilton have another hit on their hands and O'Hare and Fox have another adventure.

This time they are chasing lost gold that went missing during WWII... you know what means; FIELD TRIP!

This time both their fathers come along for the ride and a bumpy ride it is... they face the usual obstacle's - running for their lives, escaping danger at ever turn and of course... there are plenty of laughs and gasps along the way, and a bit of romance.

This is another great addition to the series and fans of the other books in hte series, you won't be disappointed in this one!

LOVED IT!

Can't wait for their next adventure... after they get a bit of rest.

I was given an advanced copy of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
