Review
Scott Brick proves once again why he’s one of the most sought-after narrators in the thriller genre. His voice work in The Scam is nothing short of exceptional – he captures Nicholas Fox’s roguish charm with a smooth, confident delivery while giving Kate O’Hare a sharp, no-nonsense edge that perfectly reflects her FBI training. The way Brick differentiates between the sprawling cast of con artists, criminals, and law enforcement officers creates a fully immersive theatrical experience that makes the hours fly by.
The chemistry between Fox and O’Hare remains the beating heart of this series, and Evanovich and Goldberg have perfected their formula by book four. Their unlikely partnership – a reformed criminal and the agent who once hunted him – crackles with tension, humor, and an undeniable spark that keeps listeners invested in both the case and the relationship. The banter between them is razor-sharp, providing moments of levity that balance beautifully against the high-stakes con at the story’s center.
At its core, The Scam delivers exactly what thriller fans crave: an elaborate scheme with multiple moving parts, double-crosses you won’t see coming, and a villain worth taking down. Evan Trace makes for a formidable adversary – a casino magnate whose legitimate business facade hides a network of corruption that reaches into the highest levels of power. Watching Fox and O’Hare dismantle his empire piece by piece is immensely satisfying, especially when their carefully laid plans inevitably hit unexpected snags.
What sets this audiobook apart from typical heist thrillers is its self-aware sense of fun. Evanovich and Goldberg never take themselves too seriously, infusing the narrative with wit and absurdist humor that makes even the tensest moments entertaining. This tonal balance is a tightrope walk that many authors attempt and few achieve, but these co-authors make it look effortless. The result is a thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat while also making you laugh out loud.
This audiobook is perfect for listeners who love Ocean’s Eleven-style capers, fans of romantic tension without heavy romance, and anyone seeking a smart, fast-paced escape. Whether you’re commuting, exercising, or simply unwinding after a long day, The Scam delivers premium entertainment that rewards your attention while never demanding too much of it. Series newcomers can jump in here without feeling lost, though you may find yourself immediately hunting down the previous three installments.
