Murder Richly Deserved

 The elegance of To Catch a Thief meets of daring of Ocean’s 8.

 About the Book: Targeted and groomed by a charming, sophisticated trafficker in stolen cultural treasures, Chloe Duval, financial advisor by day, cat burglar by night, sets out to acquire the Queen of Persia diamond. In a world of opulent wealth, friendship among thieves, greed and duplicity, no one is quite who they seem. Even a quiet stroll down a Parisian street can turn deadly.

Our Review: smart, flashy and daring Chloe knows no fear as she dances down the streets of Paris while working at a dull as dirt day job—but at night, puts on her second story thief hat and things take off.

Conflict abounds between Chloe and a variety of nemeses beginning with the trafficker of stolen treasures, to her partners in crime, to the cops who will stop at nothing to send her away. One roadblock after another crop up, yet Chloe persists. All this while an oboe plays the theme to Mission Impossible.

 On a scale of 1-5, Murder Richly Deserved merits an 8.
