* BunnyEarsLawyer: Willie is too reckless and horny for her own good, and Boyd can seem a little too obsessed with getting into character, but they're both good at what they do. For instance, in ''The Pursuit'' The crew are impersonating scientists for a video security feed, and Boyd is obsessed with acting like there's a sense of urgency and annoying the others over the non-existent project their working on. The BigBad, watching that feed, marvels about how obvious it is the way their working on something important the way one man keeps looking at the clock and login over the other others to make them work faster, while also being able to detect how much this is pissing off one of the others (Willie) from her body language.

''Fox and O'Hare'' is a caper thriller series of books by Creator/JanetEvanovich and Lee Goldberg.

Nicolas Fox is a suave conman with a penchant for thrill. Kate O'Hare is the FBI agent tasked with bringing him in. One fateful day, she goes into a men-only community somewhere in Greece just to nab him, only to find out he's now unofficially doing dirty work for the FBI, and she is his partner in crime in said dirty work. Thus begins a saga of pros, cons, fighting fire with fire, international intrigue, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking toblerone chocolate]].

The series consists of two short stories and five novels:

* ''Pros and Cons'' (2013)
* ''The Heist'' (2013)
* ''The Chase'' (2014)
* ''The Job'' (2014)
* ''The Scam'' (2015)
* ''The Shell Game'' (2015)

* BloodKnight: Alexis really loves killing anyone who crosses Carter.
* BoxedCrook: Nick fills this role as part of the FBI's secret operation.
* ByTheBookCop: Kate isn't what you'd call a team player when it comes to breaking the rules. At least, not a ''willing'' team player.

* DigitalPiracyIsEvil: At the start of ''The Heist'', Kate is assigned to assist the MPAA in breaking up a piracy ring.
* GenreSavvy: Nick's seen enough television shows to be able to predict the outcome of any given situation, and considering he favors sitcom character names (e.g. [[Series/{{Cheers}} Cliff Clavin]] and [[Series/TheBeverlyHillbillies Jethro Clampett]]) for aliases, it shows.
* GentlemanThief: Let's face it, when it comes to the art of the con Nick could give Arsene Lupin a run for his money, given how smooth and popular with the ladies he is (that is, when the ladies aren't trying to arrest him or worse).
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:When Alexis tries to snap her neck, Kate snaps ''hers'' purely by accident.]]
* MethodActing: Recurring accomplice Boyd Capwell lives and breathes it, to the point where he's willing to go days without brushing his teeth for a mouthwash commercial.
* NeckSnap: One way Alexis disposes of her victims. [[spoiler:Also how she carks it when one goes horribly wrong.]]
* NotEnoughToBury: [[spoiler:Carter Grove is blown up by a missile at the end of ''The Chase'', and very little is left of him when his hideout's remains are searched.]]
* SerialEscalation: The danger ramps up slowly but surely as the series progresses, to the point where ''The Pursuit'' starts with [[spoiler:Nick]] getting kidnapped.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Kate does this from time to time for her missions, most notably in the final act of ''The Heist'' when she has to serve as a honey trap against her will.
* SweetPollyOliver: For the arrest attempt that ends in her being drawn into greater intrigue and gets the real plot of the series going, Kate has to disguise herself as a boy so she can get inside the community where Nick's hiding out.
