This book feels different from McManus's other books, and I think it might actually be my favorite of hers this far. There are still lots of twists and turns that keep you guessing as you delve into the mystery, and I liked the heist aspect of the story. It was well-developed and made for an interesting plot.

Fans of McManus will definitely enjoy her latest installment.

I read a review by a parent that talked about restricting access because of a graphic sex scene.  That scene didn't eventuate and I am happy not to 15+ this title.  this was up to McManus' usual standard and was a page-turning heist mystery.  Lots of fun with well-written characters.

   This is one of her better ones! I found it less predictable, but I'm sure some people saw the main villain coming, I didn't however. There were enough villains that it was hard to tell who was truly evil and who wasn't. 

   There was a diversity in sexuality, with one bi/pan character, and one gay main character. But no diversity in the race of the characters, who were all white.

    Overall, I found it enjoyable, though a bit darker than the author's other books. The MCs were likable but a lot of the lesser characters weren't. 

Narrator(s) Rating: 4.5 stars

   The narrators did an excellent job. They could have used a bit more vocal differences to characters for a 5-star rating.

The toxic relationships are between Gem and pretty much everyone. As well as Jamie and Kat's dad, whose name I can't remember.
