Romantic Getaway in Italy, Bullets and a New Life as a Fugitive Included. Elusive by Sara Rosett is the first book in the "On the Run" series. Starting out in Dallas, Texas, we meet Zoe Hunter- a fiery, red-head (aren't they always) who spends most of her time trying to support herself. She does a lot of odd-jobs, such as dog walking, but her main sources of income come from books she copy-edits for an independent travel company and office spaces her aunt gave her as early inheritance. Her aunt promised they would be a great investment. She rents out two of the offices. One of those offices is rented by her ex-husband and his company (GRA- Green Recyclable Services). It's a company he started and co-owns with Connor (a man with great disdain for any digital technology). They have a secretary named Sandra and that's it. Three employees. Jack handles all the computer work (because of Connor's aversion) except the accounts, which Connor handles. Together, the three of them manage to scrape by and the company's stocks seem to be increasing in value surprisingly quickly. Zoe and Jack may be ex-spouses, but they still share the house. Not because they want to, but because they can't afford to sell it or get their own places. So they have a very delicate set-up designed to give them their own spaces and keep them apart. Zoe has the entire downstairs, while Jack gets the upstairs. Jack uses the front door, Zoe uses the back. This ensures they never meet. Jack doesn't even use the kitchen, he has a hot plate and mini-fridge upstairs that is apparently all he requires. Returning to his office after lunch one day, Jack finds something amiss. Sandra is out at the orthodontist and has been given the rest of the day off, but Connor should be there. He should be able to hear him from his own office. And someone has used his computer. As he stares at the screensaver and blinks the screen into life, he finds his bank account on the monitor. All of his company shares are sold, including ones he didn't own. There is now twelve million dollars in shares. Much more than they had. Opening his drawer he finds his gun, that he leaves at home, in the attic. Later, Zoe gets a visit from the police. They found Jack's car at the side of a bridge. Someone reported seeing a man getting swept away down the river. The story goes that Jack tried to seek cover under the bridge from the tornado that passed by earlier in the day. He must have slipped on the bank and fallen into the fast-moving water below. The police aren't hopeful. Zoe is in a daze. She doesn't know how to feel. Going to his office to let Sandra and Connor know that Jack's missing, she instead finds it empty. There's an odd smell coming from the office and she follows it to Connor's door. Inside she finds Connor, a bullet hole through his forehead. Now the FBI are involved. What started out as a search for a missing man has turned into a hunt for a fugitive. But Zoe can't believe that. Jack is not the type to cook the books then kill a man for the money and go AWOL. But now the FBI are very interested in her. She's the closest person to Jack. The only family he has is a cousin in Vegas. Zoe is his next of kin, which of course puts her in prime suspect position. Realising that situation is quickly going from back to worse, Zoe thinks it's best to contact his cousin, Eddie. She goes upstairs to find his computer and locate Eddie's details. But calling the number, she finds two shocks in store. One, Eddie is a woman and two, she claims she doesn't know Jack then hangs up. Trying to call back she gets put through to voicemail. Irritated she accidentally knocks over his lamp and finds rolls of money hidden inside the base. Determined to find out more, she thoroughly checks the house and comes up with more money and two passports, one for a woman named Irena and the second for a Brian Kenneth McGee- who's photo is that of her ex-husband's. Confused and afraid that the police will use this against her, she tries to make a decision. But when she finds the police coming back with a warrant, she chooses to run. Grabbing a few essentials, she decides on Vegas. If Eddie won't take her calls, she'll just have to go to her in person. Right now, she's the only lead Zoe's got. With one partner dead and the other missing under suspicious circumstances - along with millions of dollars-the question of fraud and murder are only shadowed by one question- Where is Jack Andrews? Or for Zoe- Who is Jack Andrews? Discovering the answer will take her on a roller-coaster journey through Dallas, Vegas, Rome, Naples and Venice. Well, she's always wanted to see Italy. The characters were typical of this genre. You have the bad guys, the good guys and the normals. Within the groups, you have the 'good guy who's not used to bad', the 'bad guy pretending to be good', the 'really bad guy', 'the betrayer', all the usual suspect that make this genre so formulaically enjoyable to read. I would put this story between cozy mystery and thriller. There are darker elements, but for the most part I would say it's more of a light-hearted read. The ending was strong. It resolves on, literally, the last line and is most definitely an incentive to check out the next book. I was enthralled by the story. Those who are familiar with me will know I can't resist a good mystery- whether it be cozy or dark. I will be checking out the next part of the story and thoroughly recommend this book for anyone who likes a good whodunit, with a little humour and romance thrown in.

Surprise Twists. 4-1/2 Stars! Thoroughly enjoyed this! Couldn't stop reading it. I read it straight through on a plane ride.

Excellent!. Fast-moving, well-written, lots of fun. Would be an exceptional beach read.

Elusive (On the Run, #1). Interesting, entertaining and wonderfully written! Can't wait to read the next book in the series. Loved it!!!

Elusive. Great plot and twists a fun “spy” thriller. Really enjoyed this and looking forward to the next.

Elusive. Enjoyed the book and looking forward to the next one.

Elusive. Easy read. Couldn’t put it down . Can’t wait to read on .

Elusive. Great story, can't wait to read what happens next

Great adventure mystery. This is a fun page turner with an interesting storyline and lots of characters. Good setup for the series. Highly recommend!

Liked story. Liked story and after reading I want to follow the series. One big negative was that the main character supposedly lives in Dallas. While there are a very few references that relate to Dallas, most of the time I am left wondering if author had ever been to Dallas.

Good soup. It was a really good book.

Couldn't put it down. Wow! This book captivated me from beginning to end. A good read.

Best book ever.. I don't know how anyone can say otherwise about this book. I'm in love with it..! Can't wait for the newest book of this series!

Must read. Took a minute to get into it. Going back and forth between characters, set up the story. Love this series!!! A great start. Pulled me in and could not put it down. Mystery, murder, romance, and love Zoey's personality. Can't wait to read the next.

Elusive. It was a ok read, it lacked real Mystery,real suspension, The ending was pretty lame.

Fun book, especially if you like Italy. This cozy mystery won't cause you to skip church, but it is perfect to enjoy with lunch or when avoiding presidential candidates debates. Sara Rosett is new to me & I enjoyed being back in places I know or love. Ah, Venice! I liked her breezy style & that the ending wasn't a rushed afterthought. Too many books recently have had great plot development & the final chapter seems to bore the authors, what I refer to as, "Chapter 23: And then he died. The End". I liked the cliffhanger hook.

Delightful Read. Love the clever, quirky heroine of this story, Zoe, and look forward to reading more of this authors books. Fun, fun, fun read. The writing is a pleasure to read, rare in contemporary novels. I recommend the book to anyone who enjoys a good "cozy".

Elusive. Fun book to read with twist and turns that keeps your page turning. Can't wait to read the next book in this series!

Murder mayhem and intrigue. Love the twists and turns. Captures your attention from the beginning.

Elusive ( On The Run,#1). Although I've never read this author I am very glad I decided to read this book, it was Awesome! It captured my interest on page one and I read it in seven hours. ( I work at night ) I'm looking forward to the rest of this series.

Good Read. This was a fun story. The characters are engaging and fairly well developed. Grammatical mistakes and misspellings were not numerous enough to be overly distracting. Pacing is good, you won't be bored with long descriptions or narrative. I enjoyed it.

Good Read. This turned out to be a very good read. Took awhile to get you interested but it eventually got there.

Darned good. Found myself immersed in this story, the locations and people. Exciting finale. Good clean reading and great editing.

Elusive. Wow! Couldn’t stop reading this mystery.

Elusive. Good read!

Page turner. Couldn't put it down...this was a very good introduction to the series and I am definitely ready to read book 2!

Elusive. I didn’t want this story to end. I also couldn’t wait for the end. This is the best book I’ve read in ages. Thank you I’m hooked

Elusive. Filled with mystery & intrigue, this book kept me puzzling through until the end. It is suspenseful and a great read. I highly recommend it.

Great read!. This book is well written, has a good plot and mystery. A little romance without anything explicit or foul language. Thanks for writing such a good book!!

Read it!!. An interesting story that kept me turning the pages. I will read the whole series. I like Sara Rosset’s writing style.👍

Good enough to stay up late reading!. This was a fun read! It had enough action to be entertaining without crossing the line into being unrealistic. Although it is the first book in a series, it also works as a stand alone novel. This one is worth your time!

Fun,Fast Read. Rosett keeps a fast pace in this story, I definitely wanted to keep reading! I liked the character development, and the suspense- just purchased the next book 😊

Awesome Read. This was an awesome book with so many twists and turns. It was hard to stop reading each night to get at least some sleep. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who likes a story with a lot of suspense.
