A stoner, an Instagram model, a Czech oligarch, and a missing unicorn. Nick Fox and Kate O’Hare have their work cut out for them in their weirdest, wildest adventure yet in this New York Times bestseller by Janet and Peter Evanovich.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 … 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).

This story becomes comical when two unlikely individuals are paired to solve a missing person case where no one wants to talk. Leads to an undercover operation that becomes more dangerous behind closed doors than locating the Big Kahuna. This is a must read.
In THE BIG KAHUNA, Fox and O’Hare return in an action packed thrill ride of fun. I can never get enough of this fabulous g-woman & her con. Definitely5 Star!
I love this series. I have read them all. The characters are witty and plots are fun like Mission Impossible.
Awesome book!!
Kate and Nick are back and this time they are on the hunt for a missing businessman named The Big Kahuna. As always this isn’t a normal case and what follows is by far the most action packed, hilarious Fox and O’Hare story so far.
Copy received from Hachette Australia for an honest review
I haven’t read any of the previous Fox and O’Hare books, however I did not find that this was an issue, as there was enough back story of how they came to be partners to get me through.
Now, I may be in the minority, however with the exception of Kate, Nick and (most of the time) her father Jake, I really didn’t like any of the characters.
Vicky was just a vapid, self-important wannabe Kardashian. Cosmo just came across as a babbling 13 years old girl rather than an FBI Agent.
But this could just be me.
This book (and I am guessing the previous books) have a Plum-esque feel to them (silly sidekicks, explosions, so many explosions) which is not surprising. I wasn’t sure with a co-author if Janet Evanovich’s writing style would come through as much – though really, with the writing style of this book, it could have been all her work.
I liked the cross country continents jaunt that we are taken on and the hijinx that this group gets up to.
I am torn with how to rate this book. Yes, I enjoyed it, however I didnt’ find it anything new or exciting. It was like reading a Plum book, with names changed to protect the innocent.
Will I read more of this series? Yeah, sure, probably.
This is a fun read in the Fox and O’Hare series. It’s fun to escape with the uptight FBI agent, and the gorgeous conman. This time, we went to Hawaii, New Zealand, and the Czech Republic.
Anything by Janet Evanovich is worth reading. My only problem is that I’m hooked for the day! Don’t expect meals, cleaning, or answers to your questions!
I love reading books about the adventure that these two do. One is an FBI agent and the other is a con man. Put these two together and you know that they will get you with an adventure that you will not put this book down and just keep reading it from page to page.
Personally I think this is the best Fox and O’Hare!! Nick and Kate are my favorite along with Jake and I especially love the fact that Cosmo Uno had a huge part in this story, he brings humor where it’s needed!! Can’t wait for future Fox and O’Hare novels, they are the best.
I love the characters, their interaction and the action
This series is so fun – the chemistry between the characters is terrific and some of the scenes are just laugh out loud funny.
While I miss the old characters from previous books in this series – Nick’s cohorts/army – I like the addition of the new character Cosmo. This book kept me entertained from start to finish.
Great series
My favorite series! The characters are terrific, plot and dialog is always fun. Loved it!
This book is awesome
Detective Kate and ex-con Nick have been assigned a task to find a Silicon Valley mogul known as The Big Kahuna. His wife assumes he is just off on some romp with another woman, but she is still ready for him to come home. Along with Kate’s obnoxious partner Cosmo, Kate and Nick go off on an adventure that neither of them could have prepared for. This book has one mystery after another and a plethora of twists that you won’t see coming!
I was somewhat disappointing in this book. Nick was less suave than in earlier books. The book had a clownish fill. I could hear echoes of Stephanie, Lula even mooner from the plum series.
Listened to the audiobook. Kind of disappointed it didn’t have the usual cast of characters. We’ll have to see who appears in the next one.
Disappointing. I’m glad I checked it out from the library. I kept waiting for the story to pick up where we had left off but finally gave up. It’s like the relationship between Kate and Nick never happened. I was so looking forward to seeing where it would go. But instead it felt like this was an in-between book, somewhere between books 2 and 4, where we are still learning the characters and they are still learning each other. I’m so sad!
