What a fun romp this was! Kick Keswick is a rettired jewel thief, The Shamrock Burglar. She's recently married and settling in to a comfortable life on a farm in Provence, France. Imagine her surprise and dismay when she wakes up one day to find her husband gone - back to his job as a detective at Scotland Yard - and a headline in the news that The Shamrock Burglar has struck again. In an effort to clear her good ... bad? ... name, Kick heads off to Paris, the scene of this recent crime. She's determined to discover who is behind this, and put an end to their impersonation. What follows is a delightful tale in the Italian Riviera, with swanky galas and balls, Counts and Princesses. Kick is my favorite type of character - a charming thief with a heart of gold. Her skills as a burglar are beyond reproach, and she is strong, independent, and smart. If you're tired of cozies wth bakers and booksellers, but aren't into blood-and-guts thrillers, this is a happy medium. It's the second book in the series, but doesn't suffer from not having read the first, Brilliant, which was also a good read, as I recall. Off to order book three ....
