The Good Thief's Guide To Paris by Chris Ewan
4.0
I’m not sure why I chose to buy this book rather than Amsterdam which was the first one but it didn’t really matter, everything was explained.
Charlie is hired to teach someone to break into an apartment and then hired by someone else to steal a painting from the same apartment the next day. Then a dead body appears in his living room. The rest of the book is the classic whodunit but with humour injected which really made a change from the usual depressing crime dramas that I go for.
I was pleased that I really enjoyed this book as I seem to spend so much time complaining about things in my one woman book club. The writing has a light tone and it is very funny which makes it so much more readable.
Of course I couldn’t get through a review without pointing out a problem and there’s a spelling mistake on page 193. Never mind though, it didn’t stop me enjoying the book so the rest must have been really good!
