This is book one in the series, so we’ll see how things progress from here, but while this story is charming, fast paced, and evoked a few chuckles, it will need to firm up a great deal if it is to succeed in the long run. The adventure is fun, but nothing all that deep or complicated, which is fine since I was mainly tuning in for the characterization, humor, and banter. Riley’s character is like playing the straight man, and she is often taken aback by Emerson’s bluntness, and lack of emotion under duress. This book is intended to be fun and zany, so if you simply sit back and relax and allow yourself to enjoy the show, you will find this bit of super light entertainment will have you smiling and having a pretty good time.Įmerson’s lack of social skills stands out, but is what makes him so charming and sweet. A plan so sinister that only a megalomaniac could think it up, and only the unlikely duo of the irrepressibly charming Emerson Knight and the tenacious Riley Moon can stop it. Through the streets of Washington, D.C., and down into the underground vault of the Federal Reserve in New York City, an evil plan is exposed.

What starts off as an inquiry about missing bank funds in the Knight account leads to inquiries about a missing man, missing gold, and a life-and-death race across the country.

At least Riley Moon thought it was her dream job, until she is given her first assignment: babysitting Emerson Knight. Her aggressive Texas spitfire attitude has helped her land her dream job as a junior analyst with mega-bank Blane-Grunwald. Riley Moon has just graduated from Harvard Business and Harvard Law. Good thing he’s also brilliant, rich, and (some people might say) handsome, or he’d probably be homeless. Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum series, teams up with Emmy-winning writer Phoef Sutton for a brand-new series of thrillers featuring the invincible and incompatible pairing of Knight and Moon.Įmerson Knight is introverted, eccentric, and has little to no sense of social etiquette.
