Gabriela Rose is a &#8220;recovery agent,&#8221; someone who is retained to find lost\/stolen\/missing items. And this time she is off to find lost treasure in order to save her family&#8217;s home.<br>While the premise of this mystery is wildly improbable (lost treasure based on a family legend), the author, as usual, writes fun and appealing characters with entertaining dialogue and well-paced action plots. I was highly entertained by the book, which can best be characterized as a fabulous beach read. You don&#8217;t have to think too hard, it&#8217;s an easy read, and (surprise, surprise), the heroine lives on to fight another day (or, more accurately, in book #2, which is coming out in June).<br>If you&#8217;re looking for an easy escape read, this one is for you. Fans of Stephanie Plum will enjoy this book as well. While the main characters aren&#8217;t quite as quirky as Stephanie&#8217;s posse is, they are also a bit more accessible and just as much fun. I will definitely be picking up book #2 in the series.<br><br><br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/1396812-may\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Recovery Agent by Janet Evanovich My rating: 3 of 5 stars This is the first in a new series by a well-known mystery author, Janet Evanovich, who writes the Stephanie Plum series.
