Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

Charlie Howard, part-time writer, part-time thief, has been engaged in a veritable spree of larceny and misappropriation since moving to Berlin. He's supposed to be working on his next novel. But high rent and a love for thrill-seeking has been hard on his word count.

But Charlie's larcenous binge is interrupted by the call to dutyâ??on behalf of Her Majesty's Government. Four embassy employees are suspected of stealing a sensitive item. Charlie is to break into their homes, find the culprit, and recover the stolen property. But there's a catch. The item is so sensitive, Charlie isn't told what he's looking for. Not its size, not its weight, nothing. He's only told that he'll recognize it when he sees it.

Charlie has been a successful thief because he follows his own rules, the first being "Don't get caught." Well, after he enters the first suspect's home, he has to add a new rule: "Don't admire the view." As Charlie stares across the street, he sees something he really wishes he hadn'tâ??a woman being murdered. And that's just for starters. What follows is a wild adventure in the former cauldron of spies… (más)

Meh. Hokey and annoying but if you skim-read it's passable. Takes care to hit the checklist of expected Berlin tropes which honestly just makes me feel a little manipulated. ( )

Charlie is at it again, this time in Berlin. Between having writer's block on his novel, and his conflicting emotions about Victoria, he is managing to evade decisions by a spree of burglaries. That is, until he gets caught up in Her Majesties service and Victoria's insight.

This is my favorite of The Good Thief Guides so far. Great humor, some real dilemmas, both personal and professional for the "hero" to work through. All I can say about the end, is that I really, really hope there is another book after this. It did feel as if the writer had written himself into a corner and wasn't sure how to fix it, so ended it instead. ( )

My first book from Hoopla. An audio book that was great. It was 8hrs and 31 min long.
