The Murderer Inside the Mirror operates along three timelines: one during the reign of Henry VIII, the other two in the present and the near past. This is a series novel, which I hadn't realized when I requested it. It's volume two in the "Theater of Thieves" and features a family who are both respected thespians and very successful thieves. As happens in fiction (I'm not so sure about real life as I'm not aware that I know any families of very successful thieves), they have standards. They don't steal from anyone who can't afford the loss and they focus on underappreciated treasures owned by the wealthy.
I really don't want to say much about the plots. They're a wonderfully complex mix and deserve to be met as they arise. Rayne weaves a complex tapestry, but it's the kind of complex tapestry that results in elegance, not confusion.
