If you’ve read Stephanie Plum, you have a good idea how Janet Evanovich writes. It’s absurd, nonsensical, and amusing. If you want a realistic plot, you won’t find it. If you’re willing to suspend disbelief and enjoy the ride, you’re in for a good time.
The Recovery Agent is more of the same, in the best possible way. It is written in third person, so while mostly focused on Gabriella Rose, it allows brief perspective shifts to fill in the blanks of other people’s actions. Gabriella describes herself in her Stephanie Plum appearance as “skilled, but unlucky”, and the result is a steadier stream of progress that allows her the resources to span the globe for a light fun adventure.
