― Kim Foster, A Beautiful Heist
Goodreads Description:
Everyone has a talent. Some are just more legal than others. Cat Montgomery steals jewels for AB&T, the premier agency for thieves in Seattle. Career perks: good pay, great disguises, constant adrenaline rush. Drawbacks: the possibility of jail time…or worse. Now she’s taken on a lucrative side job—recovering a priceless Faberge egg for an alleged Romanov descendent.
Though Cat is working solo, there are plenty of interested players. Her FBI ex-boyfriend is nosing around, as is her former mentor-turned-nemesis. Then there’s the sexy art thief helping—or is he hindering?—her mission. If her luck holds out, this could be the case that allows Cat to retire with her conscience and her life intact. If not, it’ll be her last job for all the wrong reasons…
My Thoughts:
This whole trilogy was a really fun, suspenseful read. Cat is a great gray character who works on the wrong side of the law, but has her own moral code. In fact all of the characters are multi-faceted, most of whom enjoy walking a thin line between right and wrong. This is great for people who like a mysteries which aren’t centered around murder.
