The tag line of this is basically "A thief is hired to steal a ghost from a haunted house" and that's great. That's so great. That's an idea I've never seen before and it's an idea that made me go "OK, cool, let's check this out."
And this is pretty great. It's just... it's so cool.

This has all the things I want in a heist story: getting the team together, seeing how people work together or who's the weak link that's going to cost the team the big pay off. It's got a bunch of really well done horror stuff, with a family of killers living in the mansion and hunting people for sport and being horrible. There's double bluffs and hidden information and the job isn't what it appears, but of course it isn't this is a heist, it's never what it appears to be.

This was just exactly what I wanted from a book like this. I'm really looking forward to reading more of this series if I can find it, and I might have to splurge and just buy it. It's really fun. It's a strange mix of spooky and cool and it's exactly the sort of thing I was looking for this Holiday Season.
