Curious Minds

A new series from Janet Evanovich always makes me happy.

This was a mystery involving Riley Moon and Emerson Knight. Emerson is very eccentric, brilliant and very rich. Riley Moon gets sucked into his world by her boss at Blane-Grunwald Bank. She is asked to watch Mr. Knight and report back. Emerson wants to see his gold, the actual gold, and this starts an adventure going from Washington D.C. to New York to Area 51 in Arizona.

I really enjoyed this story, it is quirky like most of Ms. Evanovich's books. I had a hard time putting it down. I am looking forward to more adventures from this new duo.

I was given this book free from the publisher for an honest opinion.

I received this book through netgalley, but all following ideas and opinions are my own

I am a huge fan of Janet Evanovich. Sometimes the writing and plot lines can become repetitive or the jokes are the same, but I still can't help myself from picking up a book and laughing. The same holds true for this book.

I feel like there is more structure to this book and the main male character is not the same as Diesel or Morelli! I was honestly intrigued as to who this character would be. Moon did seem a little bit like Kate O'Hare to me, but only a little and since I'm currently reading that series too, I see how I pull the small resemblances (Good with a gun, father had a security type job, eats unhealthy).

I had no idea where the story was going, it was a delight. Another great thing is how, while I'm assuming here that Knight and Moon will get together later, there weren't many comments about how good-looking he was or moments where Moon is distracted by Knight- Amazing!
One small thing kinda getting repetitive is the exaggeration of how crazy people can be, i.e. random animals being kept at Knight's mansion. Funny, but seems a little too out there (but on one hand that is kinda the point?). It isn't enough to actually make me dislike the scenes with the zebras or armadillos, I still smile or chuckle, just I have a part of me going ‘really?'

It was a truly fun and crazy read and I am very much waiting for the sequel to come out. I cannot wait to find out what this team cooks up next!!
