Publisher's summary
Charlie Howard isn’t only a part-time crime writer and part-time thief; he’s also a magician. For his next trick, he’ll relieve Josh Masters, the famous illusionist vying for the affections of Charlie’s friend Victoria, of $60,000 in casino chips stashed in his hotel safe. Revenge would be sweet - if there weren’t a dead redhead floating in Masters’ bathtub and if Masters hadn’t just disappeared in a puff of smoke after cheating at roulette. Convinced that Charlie was in on the scam, the casino’s owners give him an impossible mission: either pull off an elaborate heist to reimburse the house for every dollar his “accomplice” made off with, or enjoy a one-way trip into the desert.

Story
Charlie Howard travels the globe writing suspense novels for a living. To supplement his income - and keep his hand in - Charlie has a small side business: stealing for a very discreet clientele on commission. When a mysterious American offers Charlie 20,000 euros to steal two small monkey figurines to match the one he already has, Charlie is suspicious; the job seems too good to be true, and of course, it is. He soon finds the American beaten nearly to death, while the third figurine has disappeared.

Story
If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

A classic novel by John D. MacDonald with an exclusive introduction written and read by Dean Koontz. Once an ordinary math teacher, Omar Krepps developed a knack for gambling, amassed a fabulous fortune, and spent the rest of his life traveling the world and giving away his millions. Upon his death, however, Krepps bequeaths nothing to his nephew and only living blood relative, Kirby Winter - nothing, that is, except an antique watch and a sealed letter to be opened after one year. But Kirby has much more in his possession than he realizes. The watch has the power to manipulate time.

It's the middle of a sweltering late-summer heat wave in Los Angeles. In the nearby mountains, a seasonal wildfire burns out of control. If not for this fire, authorities might never have discovered wreckage of an Alfa Romeo convertible - or the body of the car's driver - in the dense underbrush at the bottom of Topanga Canyon. But when firefighters happen across the crash site while battling the nearby blaze, it's only a matter of time and basic forensics before the apparent accident is upgraded to homicide.

You probably haven't noticed them. But they've noticed you. They notice everything. That's their job. Sitting quietly in a nondescript car outside a bank making note of the tellers' work habits. Lagging a few car lengths behind the Brinks truck on its daily rounds. Surreptitiously jiggling the handle of an unmarked service door at the racetrack. They're heisters.

Regulars at Nadia’s nature lodge don’t ask what she does in the off-season. And that’s a good thing. If she told them, she’d have to kill them. She’s a hit woman for a Mafia family. Tough and self-sufficient, Nadia doesn’t owe anyone any explanations. But that doesn’t mean she always works alone. One of her contacts has recruited her in the hunt for a ruthlessly efficient serial killer cutting a swath of terror across the country. The assassin is far too skilled to be an amateur - and the precision of the killings is bringing the Feds much too close to the hit man community for comfort.

Years ago, the Gypsy Kumpania where Janeal Mikkado lived was attacked by outsiders. With her best friend about to be consumed by a fire, Janeal had two options: try to save her friend—at serious risk to her own life—or disappear with the million dollars that she had just discovered. But the past is quickly coming back to haunt her. Both the best friend and the boyfriend that she was sure were dead have reappeared in her life, as has someone who knows about the money. There's a debt to be paid for the money she found, but there's an even greater debt she must face.

Fun Story
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Good Thief's Guide to Vegas?
I enjoyed the main character's sharp wit and sarcasm throughout the story despite the things that were happening to him.
Have you listened to any of Simon Vance’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I love Simon Vance's style. Also enjoyed Safe House by Chris Ewan. His pace is good without feeling rushed. He performs women's voices well without sounding forced. He is a little weak when doing American accented characters.
Any additional comments?
It was a fun story, not a masterpiece.I enjoyed the twists and turns and how all the loose ends come together at the end. I would read another book in this series because the main character is so likable.

This was humorous with exciting moments. I enjoyed him getting out of his scrapes. I would read more by this author. I have also read his Amsterdam story and found it more deftly plotted, but the Vegas story is more fun.

Chatty with a too convenient plotting.
If this bit of dialogue sounds ok then you'll enjoy this book; "Darling, we're British and we're charming. The regular laws of the world simply don't apply to us. Let's dash off on another irresponsible adventure." That's the tone you need to accept or should I say endure to get through this one.
The narration by Simon Vance, as always: perfect.

Claustrophobic
Much like Groundhog Day with failure after failure after failure after failure mostly within a high rise in the middle of the desert. The bit with the body in the boot was less confining. At least there wasn’t a single “smile that didn’t reach…” Though, at the end of a paragraph it’s still an okay story.

Funny, Engaging & a Delight to the Ear
What did you love best about The Good Thief's Guide to Vegas?
I loved the wit & dry humor of the author, delivered impeccably by the narrator. The main character's descriptions were thoroughly entertaining.
What about Simon Vance’s performance did you like?
He captured the essence of Charlie & delivered it. Since I knew that he was also the narrator of the The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, I was impressed with his amazing performance in this novel. He made the story & the characters come to life.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed a lot!
Any additional comments?
This is a great light read - it's not fluff, but it's fun.

You Have To Live Charlie
I have been reading the installments in order and this is the best "Good Thiefs Guide" so far. The characters are well done and both Charlie and Victoria are well advanced in this installment. The other quality I like about this book is you really don't figure things out till the very end...and even then, you need Charlie's help to understand it all.... Well done!

Entertaining
I’ve found another author to follow in Chris Ewan. I enjoyed the witty British protagonist and the narrator nailed the part, sounding like Mr Peabody from the Mr Peabody and Sherman animated TV series, which was part of the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. Well done, funny and left me wanting more. I will look for more from both Chris Ewan and Simon Vance.

OUTSTANDING!
THIS POOR THIEF CAN GET INTO MORE TROUBLE BY BEING COMPLETELY ABOVE
BOARD. HE IS A MAGNET FOR TROUBLE, THANK GOODNESS HE HAS A WONDERFUL LINE OF PATTER, AND THINKS FAST ON HIS FEET. I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS NEW AUTHOR, TO ME, AND WILL CHECK HIS OTHER BOOKS OUT. A WONDERFUL WHO DUN-NIT, GREAT JOB CHRIS EWAN, AS NOT TOO BRITISH AND I COULD UNDERSTAND HIM WITHOUT STRAINING TO DO SO. I LAUGHED AT HIS MANY DRY JOKES AND URGE YOU TO GIVE HIM TRY. WELL WORTH THE CREDIT. MAGIC IS THE NAME OF THE GAME.
