Summary
From Janet Evanovich, number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Stephanie Plum novels, and Lee Goldberg, best-selling author and television writer for Monk, comes the first adventure in an electrifying new series featuring an FBI agent who always gets her man, and a fearless con artist who lives for the chase.
FBI Special Agent Kate O'Hare is known for her fierce dedication and discipline on the job, chasing down the world's most wanted criminals and putting them behind bars. Her boss thinks she is tenacious and ambitious; her friends think she is tough, stubborn, and maybe even a bit obsessed. And while Kate has made quite a name for herself for the past five years, the only name she's cared about is Nicolas Fox - an international crook she wants in more ways than one.
Audacious, handsome, and dangerously charming, Nicolas Fox is a natural con man, notorious for running elaborate scams on very high-profile people. At first, he did it for the money. Now he does it for the thrill. He knows that the FBI has been hot on his trail - particularly Kate O'Hare, who has been watching his every move.
For Nick, there's no greater rush than being pursued by a beautiful woman… even one who aims to lock him up. But just when it seems that Nicolas Fox has been captured for good, he pulls off his greatest con of all: he convinces the FBI to offer him a job, working side by side with Special Agent Kate O'Hare. Problem is, teaming up to stop a corrupt investment banker who's hiding on a private island in Indonesia is going to test O'Hare's patience and Fox's skill. Not to mention the skills of their ragtag team, made up of flamboyant actors, wanted wheelmen, and Kate's dad. High-speed chases, pirates, and Toblerone bars are all in a day's work… if O'Hare and Fox don't kill each other first.

Fantastically entertaining!
If you like the TV series White Collar, you'll love this - FBI and elaborate undercover cons, with added sexual tension between the two leads. Also plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. Brilliant plotting and superb characterisation (by the narrator as well as the authors) - I bought the rest of the series as soon as I could.

Very entertaining
The narration was very good - the characters were interesting - I loved the play acting. There was a certain measure of suspension of disbelief - but that's a small price to pay for being so well entertained.

Entertaining Read
What made the experience of listening to The Heist the most enjoyable?
The concept of the characters is very good and the scenarios of the heists are really creative.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Nicolas Fox, he is a very likeable character and the con's he puts together are very inventive. I also love Kate's Dad the way he can get anyone in any part of the world to storm into countries with him. Reminds me of the old Arnie / Stallone characters.
Any additional comments?
I definitely missed Lorelei King narrating the book. She has done an amazing job with the Stephanie Plum novels and gives a distinct voice to every character. It just brings the whole story to life. Whereas Scott Brick is OK but he is one of those narrators which gives a slight lilt to his voice for different characters. All in all it was good but just fell short of being excellent.

Just fun.
There are a lot of bad things I could say about this book. The characters are a bit one dimensional, the plot goes deus ex all over the place, the romance is a bit weak and it's ridiculously over the top HOWEVER none of that matters because this book is just fun. Big, silly, ridiculous fun. I just enjoyed listening to this and going along for a mindless enjoyable ride.
I do dislike Scott Brick as a narrator though. He just speaks so slowly and in a dreary monotone. I normally listen at 1x or 1.05x but with this I listened at 1.35x and the book sounded normal. I think the faster playback might have even made the emotionless Brick convey a bit of character.

I should have liked it
I wanted to like this book and I should have, but didn’t, which is odd because I have loved all the Janet Evanovich and the few Lee Goldberg books I have read before. I have listened to Scott Brick before and enjoyed his narration too, but put them all together and I didn’t even manage to finish .. it was nothing awful but wasn’t convincing and I kept losing track of what was happening, because my attention kept drifting off. I might try reading one of this series to see if it works better but won’t bother with another audiobook.

A promising start to a heist series
Great fun, it had Evanovich's style all throughout with fun characters, though perhaps a little toned down compared to her Stephanie Plum series.
