It took a while for me to get into Curious Minds, and whenever my cat would allow me time to read but once I did, it’s a wonderful book. A plan so sinister that only a megalomaniac could think it up, and only the unlikely duo of the irrepressibly charming Emerson Knight and the tenacious Riley Moon can stop it. Through the streets of Washington, D.C., and down into the underground vault of the Federal Reserve in New York City, an evil plan is exposed. What starts off as an inquiry about missing bank funds in the Knight account leads to inquiries about a missing man, missing gold, and a life-and-death race across the country. At least Riley Moon thought it was her dream job, until she is given her first assignment: babysitting Emerson Knight. Her aggressive Texas spitfire attitude has helped her land her dream job as a junior analyst with mega-bank Blane-Grunwald. Riley Moon has just graduated from Harvard Business and Harvard Law. Good thing he’s also brilliant, rich, and (some people might say) handsome, or he’d probably be homeless. Janet Evanovich, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum series, teams up with Emmy-winning writer Phoef Sutton for a brand-new series of thrillers featuring the invincible and incompatible pairing of Knight and Moon.Įmerson Knight is introverted, eccentric, and has little to no sense of social etiquette. (Aug.Curious Minds by Janet Evanovich, Phoef Sutton With sly references to pulp hero the Shadow and to the creators of Ellery Queen, the authors send their odd couple on a harrowing journey that leads, with zany humor, from the Federal Reserve gold vaults in Manhattan to top-secret Area 51 in Nevada and a monstrous conspiracy that promises to be only the first for the duo. Emerson wants to find black sheep brother G%C3%BCnter Grunwald, who has disappeared, and Riley joins the hunt. Other Grunwald family members hold powerful positions: Hans Grunwald runs the National Security Agency, and Manfred Grunwald is about to be sworn in as an associate justice of the Supreme Court.

But after visiting Emerson at his Washington, D.C., mansion, Mysterioso Manor, she winds up driving Emerson to the bank (in his '93 Bentley Turbo R), where he confronts bank head Werner Grunwald. Moon is sent by the bank to placate Emerson, who's demanding to, literally, see his gold.

This entertaining series launch from bestseller Evanovich and Sutton, coauthors of 2015's Wicked Charms, introduces Emerson Knight, an eccentric millionaire, and Riley Moon, a junior analyst at mega-bank Blane-Grunwald.
