Le casse

well...I guess I liked it well enough. This book might be decent start to another series, but it's difficult to predict until book 2 makes it's debut. There's promise but there are some areas that need work. Starting with the Kate/Nick chemistry. I got the impression that there should be boatloads of chemistry between the two, but it just kinda sat there on the page not really going anywhere. Maybe it was because most of the characters where as 2 dimensional as a cardboard cut out. The overall plot seemed to have walked it's way out of a cheesy, tv detective comedy (another reviewer compared this to USA's White Collar. I see the similarities but I like WC better). I did find myself liking the supporting characers - Kate's dad (who reminds me a little of Dr Sloan from Goldberg's Diagnosis Murder series), Willie, Boyd and Tom. They were quirky and fun.
