Just like I fell in love with classic films about cunning cat burglar's like To Catch a Thief and Entrapment, I fell in love with Kat and her crew in Heist Society, the first novel in Ally Carter's novels about con-man and thief family, the Bishops. I attacked Uncommon Criminals, anxious for more clever ruses, slick plans, and danger at every turn.
Definitely NOT disappointed. This time Kat, who began working on her own, leaving her crew behind to right the wrongs created by the Nazi thieves, faces the forbidden. She has been asked to steal the Cleopatra Emerald. Uncle Eddie has dictated that no one inthe family EVER go after the Cleopatra, and no one has until Kat and her crew set off to get it from an unscrupulous are dealer to return it to it's rightful owner. kat's plan works flawlessly and that is when the real trouble begins.
Carter's characters are flawed, young, talented and very, very real in spite of their unique circumstances. I love them and I can't wait to meet them again in the the next book.
