The Good Thief's Guide to Paris by Chris Ewan
Engaging novel; I almost didn't realize, at first, that I was engaged in a murder mystery. It reads like a fun contemporary novel. Props to the French phrases at the end of the novel, and the creative notion to have a thief write "fictitious" memoirs of his career as a thief, and get caught up in the Million Dollar Heist.
However, the actual narration reminds me of something I myself would have written as a juvenile; the characters are extremely overdramatic, all a bit unrealistically eager to get themselves involved in this story (in reality, a publisher would not be so personally drawn to help a thief out of a murder investigation). Lighthearted novel, but nothing more to it.
