I wanted a bit of a light hearted easy read after the rather heavy books I had read and this fitted the bill perfectly.
She was a cat burglar and he was an English gentleman to his fingertips. A most unlikely romance ever but stranger things have happened. Both of them meet under the most unlikely circumstances - he is also a thief searching for some indiscreet letters written by a friend to a man who is now trying to blackmail her and she is looking for an antique dagger that would prove a point and indict a man for murder. Add to this an international arms dealer, a bit of drugs on the side, murder of an entire crew, stowaways, a family of burglars and and a family of English aristocrats and what more could one ask for.
An interesting story, very quick paced and nicely put together. It was a very easy read for me
for today whilst I sat and waited between appointments!
I need to try another Gerritsen book - the first one I read was pretty good. Thanks for your review!
ReplyDeleteA burgler and an aristocrat, I like that :)
ReplyDeleteI've read a couple of this author's books and enjoyed them. i like the sound of this one.
ReplyDeleteI have not read a book by Tess Gerritsen in a long while, this one is now on my wishing to read list so thanks for the heads up Mystica!
ReplyDeleteI love quick easy reads that are fast paced with characters who on the outside appear in no way a match but yet have a "connection"...
Still Missing is on my wishlist. I want to see The Marble Faun made into a film. Come see why. Happy Blog Hop!
