Book Review -- Carol Recommends

The Recovery Agent by Janet Evanovich
Book Review -- Carol Recommends

Gabriela Rose is the recovery agent. She owns and operates a lucrative business getting stuff for clients who may have trouble getting it done through tradition routes. She is beautiful and smart. She can drive and shoot. She knows her way around all sorts of weapons. She is fit and wears designer lingerie. She is tasked with finding the Seal of Solomon and the lost Treasure of Lima based on family lore and for the greater good. She is aided by her ex-husband, Rafer, who is, of course, handsome, charming and weapon-savvy. No designer briefs for this guy and frankly I’m doubting any briefs at all. Think jungle, snakes, really really bad guys, drug lords, and close calls.

You may know Janet Evanovich from her One for The Money Stephanie Plum bounty hunter  series which I think are a hoot. Her books are fast, quick, fun reads. This one is no exception and is the first in a series.

This title is available in print at the Library and downloadable through Libby/Overdrive in ebook and eaudio.

 

Carol is the Director of the Churchill County Library. She likes to read. A lot.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
