The Big Kahuna
A Fox and O'Hare Novel
Large Print - 2019
Straight arrow FBI Agent Kate O'Hare always plays by the rules. Charming con man Nicholas Fox makes them up as he goes along. She thinks he's nothing but a scoundrel. He thinks she just needs to lighten up. They're working together to tackle the out-of-bounds cases ordinary FBI agents can't touch. And, their relationship? Well, there hasn't been so much explosive chemistry since Nitro was introduced to Glycerin. Next on the docket: The mysterious disappearance of the Silicon Valley billionaire, known as the Big Kahuna. Kate's been assigned to find him but no one seems particularly keen on helping. His twenty-six year old adult actress wife-turned Instagram model wife and his shady Czech business partner are more interested in gaining control of his company. For that they need a dead body not a living Kahuna. The only lead they have is the Kahuna's drop-out son, who's living the dream in Hawaii - if your dream is starting your day with the perfect wave and ending it with a big bowl of weed. To get close to the Kahuna's son, Kate and Nick go undercover as a married couple in the big wave, bohemian, surfer community of Paia, Maui. Living a laid back, hippy-dippy lifestyle isn't exactly in Kate's wheelhouse, but the only thing more horrifying is setting up house with Nick Fox, even if he does look pretty gnarly on a longboard. If they don't catch a break soon, waves aren't the only thing she's going to be shredding (or bedding).

Add a CommentTake away Lee Goldberg and apparently you take away a lot! I read and thoroughly enjoyed all the others in the series in order. This was a definite And failed attempt attempt to copycat a great series. Really too bad
Not available for Kindle
I concur with the rest of you.
āStupidā is the best way to describe this mess...
The lowest rating is one āļø, but somehow mine shows another 1/2 āļø (which I would never give it!)
I wish there was a āno starā option for ratings!
I did wonder why this was pretty blah and why they didn't assemble the usual cast of secondary characters - turns out no Lee Goldberg, so 50% less fun. So I will save myself the time of ever reading another one if they are indeed this hamfisted again. Read anything else.
Horrible. Don't waste your time - you won't be missing out on the Kate/Nick saga. Evanovich's son wrote this one and it's done at a 4th grade level. The story line and characters imply that he didn't read the other books in the series. Kate has become a ditzy Scooby Doo character that says "jinkies" a LOT. Nick is suddenly a fighting machine with the skills that Kate used to have. Nick now has meetings in the FBI offices with other agents - hmm... And the author made Kate's dad an idiot. I usually read these books in 2-3 days but this one was so painful that it took 2 weeks. I only finished because I can't stand to leave a book unfinished.
I thought it was just me, but judging from the previous comments, it isn't! Terrible book. I can't connect with the characters. I'm only finishing it because I started it. I've skipped over so many pages just to get it read. I won't read another one with these 2 authors......
This book was so disappointing. I couldn't finish it. Lee Goldberg obviously made this series. I hope he comes back for the next book or I'll have to wrap this series up.
I miss Lee Goldberg! This sixth installment did not do much for character development with the exception of Jake -- the king of distractions. He was my favorite character in this book. What a total BA! Anyway, in true Evanovich fashion there is lots of action, and quirky characters. Also loved the exotic locales -- sort of made me think of the challenges from the Amazing Race at times, too. Some have been annoyed by Cosmo, but I like him as a foil for Kate and Nick. If there is a #7 I will give it a chance.
I enjoyed the author's Stephanie Plum novels, but frankly this book was terrible. The two "rogue" agents set out on a path of total unrealistic destruction (exploding buildings, sinking boats, shooting down helicopters, etc) in order to get their man. I didn't understand the relationship between the two main characters, nor did I like either of them. The "irritating coworker" awkwardly inserted for comic relief was so irritating I just skipped his dialogue while reading. I basically skimmed the last 3rd of this book just to get it over with.
I loved this book! There was so much action and lots of humor. Indeed, most the action was unbelievable, but I find that when I feel the need to get lost in action, I prefer it to be the unbelievable type that unlike the tragedies we watch unfolding every day on the news.
