Cat Montgomery, the Seattle cat burglar with a strong ethical code is a memorable character. Busy, improbable zany plot with many loony threads--but still a highly entertaining. Nice touch--with a tilt o' the hat to John Robie. Cat is a female version of Cary Grant, cat burglar extraordinaire in To Catch a Thief, meets the looniness of the Pink Panther, with a chaser of The da Vinci Code. A great weekend read guaranteed to pump up your adrenaline levels.Well written debut novel. Fast-paced dialogue. Lovely bits: "Stars dazzled in a tuxedo sky...." And then the author had to go and spoil it all by writing something stupid like "ajar of mayonnaise." Proofread, please!Not to be confused with A Beautiful Heist by Paul Van Huffel
