More Good Bad People

I mentioned previously the books by Thomas Perry about good people who live outside the law. Well, on Saturday at the library I discovered another series about a good (at least likeable) woman who just happens to also be a jewel thief.

When I go to the library I like to browse the new books shelf. I try to check out at least one by an author I haven't read to expand my list of favorite authors. This week's new author is Marne David Kellogg, who has written two series: mysteries featuring Lily Bennett and the adventures of Kick Keswick, jewel thief. The new book, Perfect, is the third in the series. Luckily for me, the first book, Brilliant, was on the shelves.

Brilliant introduces us to Kick and her made-up past in Oklahoma, her new life in an auction house in London, her quiet life on her get-away farm in Provence and her burgling of those who deserve it. It ends quite tidily with no loose ends so it should be interesting to see how her adventures continue in Priceless (which I should be receiving on the hold shelf any day now. Thanks, J) and then Perfect.
