Summary
#1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich returns with the launch of a blockbuster new series that blends wild adventure， hugely appealing characters， and pitch-perfect humor， proving once again why she’s “the most popular mystery writer alive” （The New York Times）。
Lost something？ Gabriela Rose knows how to get it back。 As a recovery agent， she’s hired by individuals and companies seeking lost treasures， stolen heirlooms， or missing assets of any kind。 She’s reliable， cool under pressure， and well trained in weapons of all types。 But Gabriela’s latest job isn’t for some bamboozled billionaire， it’s for her own family， whose home is going to be wiped off the map if they can’t come up with a lot of money fast。
Inspired by an old family legend， Gabriela sets off for the jungles of Peru in pursuit of the Ring of Solomon and the lost treasure of Cortez。 But this particular job comes with a huge problem attached to it—Gabriela’s ex-husband， Rafer。 It’s Rafer who has the map that possibly points the way to the treasure， and he’s not about to let Gabriela find it without him。
Rafer is as relaxed as Gabriela is driven， and he has a lifetime’s experience getting under his ex-wife’s skin。 But when they aren’t bickering about old times the two make a formidable team， and it’s going to take a team to defeat the vicious drug lord who has also been searching for the fabled ring。 A drug lord who doesn’t mind leaving a large body count behind him to get it。
The Recovery Agent marks the start of an irresistible new series that will have you clamoring for more and cheering for the unstoppable Gabriela Rose on every page。

“The Recovery Agent” by Janet Evanovich is Gabriella Rose’s first adventure in print。The action is steady。 The situations are sometimes zany and will remind Evanovich fans of Stephanie Plum’s adventures。 Gabriella and Rafer， and friends， must dodge bullets， evade El Dragon， a Peruvian cult leader of death god Supay， and Peruvian drug lords。 Otherwise， it’s just a normal recovery run in the jungles and the seas off Peru。Join the fun， the laughs， and the adventures of Gabriella and Rafer。 Janet Ev “The Recovery Agent” by Janet Evanovich is Gabriella Rose’s first adventure in print。The action is steady。 The situations are sometimes zany and will remind Evanovich fans of Stephanie Plum’s adventures。 Gabriella and Rafer， and friends， must dodge bullets， evade El Dragon， a Peruvian cult leader of death god Supay， and Peruvian drug lords。 Otherwise， it’s just a normal recovery run in the jungles and the seas off Peru。Join the fun， the laughs， and the adventures of Gabriella and Rafer。 Janet Evanovich has another hit series on her hands。 Evanovich has her style and adventure formula well set up。 An argumentative love match， a thrilling adventure， and a lot of trouble along the way。 Oh yes， this one features advice from a ghost。Thanks to Simon & Schuster for this Goodreads Giveaway ARC win！ to read and review。 。。。more

This book was just okay for me。 I liked that it wasn't a super long read， but it just wasn't really that exciting to me。 If you enjoy other books by this author， I would assume that you will enjoy this as well。 The characters were not extremely likeable for me and I didn't feel that I really got to know them， which is important to me。 This book was just okay for me。 I liked that it wasn't a super long read， but it just wasn't really that exciting to me。 If you enjoy other books by this author， I would assume that you will enjoy this as well。 The characters were not extremely likeable for me and I didn't feel that I really got to know them， which is important to me。 。。。more

Great start to a new series， as it ends with you wanting more。 Nonstop action， great characters， no lull time， just jumps from one adventure to another。 Another Evanovich book with humor and crazy situations。 Fun， entertaining， and gets you out of your own life to adventure and with characters that are clever and smart。 Hopefully Pepe and Caballo will appear in future stories， they were fun。 Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an honest opinion。

A great departure for Ms Evanovich。 I have been a fan forever。 This new character is as detailed as her others and Rafer is a keeper。 Gabriela is no slouch ， she recovers items for a price， and this ring might just be too hot an item to handle。 Add an ex who knows just the moment to irritate and the fun never stops。 The villain is especially vicious and the jungle unforgiving。 It’s perfect。 It’s funny。 It’s very readable。

If Indiana Jones and Lara Croft got together， their love child would be Gabriela Rose， the heroine in Janet Evanovich’s latest novel， The Recovery Agent。 Gabriela is a recovery agent， which means that people hire her to find lost things of all kinds。 On her last adventure she set out to recover a pendant but a panther ate it。 That is sometimes life in Gabriela’s world。 Before heading back to New York City， she returns to her hometown， Scoon， which has never recovered from a hurricane that ravage If Indiana Jones and Lara Croft got together， their love child would be Gabriela Rose， the heroine in Janet Evanovich’s latest novel， The Recovery Agent。 Gabriela is a recovery agent， which means that people hire her to find lost things of all kinds。 On her last adventure she set out to recover a pendant but a panther ate it。 That is sometimes life in Gabriela’s world。 Before heading back to New York City， she returns to her hometown， Scoon， which has never recovered from a hurricane that ravaged it。 There her grandmother tells her that Annie the ghost says that there’s a treasure under the floorboards in the home that Gabriela inherited that now belongs to her ex-husband， Rafer。 The treasure could revitalize Scoon， encourage all those who had left to return。 It’s a fantastical idea that a ghost would tell Gabriela’s grandmother about a treasure and it may be equally fantastical that Gabriela follows through on the information and finds a treasure chest with maps， as well as her ex-husband。 The ensuing adventure takes Gabriela， Rafer and the reader on a wild ride from Peru to Costa Rica to New York to California to Scoon。 Buckle up！The Recovery Agent was so enjoyable that I couldn’t put it down。 Gabriela is a kickass heroine who has changed significantly since she was married to Rafer。 Her knowledge of weapons and her ability to defend herself never ceases to surprise him。 I love a female MC who can more than take care of herself。 The banter between Gabriela and Rafer was witty， swift， and well-written。 All of the secondary characters also added humor to the story as well as resourcefulness。AdvertisementsREPORT THIS ADThe search for treasure was an adventure that introduced Gabriela and Rafer to El Dragon， a vicious drug lord who has been searching for the same ring that they are looking for so that he can call upon its supposed supernatural powers。 He’s also insane and driven。This was one of the most fun stories I’ve read in a long time and I’m so glad that it’s the beginning of a new series。 Between the adventure and the seriously fun chemistry between Gabriela and Rafer， I can see some definitely great episodes in the future， especially if they continue to be guided by Granny and her ghost friend。 A great start to a new series。I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I love a good Janet Evanovich book so I was very excited when I received a copy of this book through a Goodreads giveaway。 I enjoy Janet’s laid back， funny， easy going with a mysterious twist style of writing and have read almost all of the Stephanie Plum series。 This new series is different， but it also feels familiar and I， personally， really enjoyed it。

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read in exchange for an honest review。 I used to love Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series but I has been getting stale and repetitive。 This is a fresh new character and some pretty exciting scenarios。 Gabriella Rose finds and recovers lost artifacts and information （expensive jewelry， proof of insurance fraud）。 She is witty and capable （doesn't blunder into situations like Plum）。 There was a lot of unnecessary information （gu Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read in exchange for an honest review。 I used to love Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series but I has been getting stale and repetitive。 This is a fresh new character and some pretty exciting scenarios。 Gabriella Rose finds and recovers lost artifacts and information （expensive jewelry， proof of insurance fraud）。 She is witty and capable （doesn't blunder into situations like Plum）。 There was a lot of unnecessary information （gun models， car makes） that didn't really add to the story。 I would give this series a shot for sure。 。。。more
