This book caught my attention because the "caper" movie genre is one of my favorites. I love plots/storylines where individuals or a group of con artists/theives plan and pull off a good scam or heist. Back in the 80's, I did come across a few books with those kind of themes/plots, including a few with a female main character, but since then, they seem rather uncommon. I was happy to find and purchase this book as soon as I saw the the book description.I enjoyed reading Catch an Honest Thief. I liked the storyline, it held my attention, and it was a fast read. It's rare to find a book with light elements of planning/stealing, mystery/suspense, romance, future technology, and humor all wrapped together, and without being "heavy" and having to absorb too many meticulous, complicated details or boring, erroneous descriptions. It was different (in a good way), everything flowed together very well, and it was a nice "escape." I recommend this book as an interesting, lighthearted, clean, quick, and fun read. I would love to read about any future adventures Alexia (and some of the other characters in this book have) if the author decides to write more Haven mysteries.
