Great!
pickThis is one of those stories that pulls you along gently & then delivers a total kick to the gut, leaving you gasping for breath & wondering how you never saw it coming. Our protagonist, Michael, has a most unusual talent: he can pick any lock, open any safe, unlock anything locked. It is a talent which draws Michael into the criminal world. Tightly plotted and beautifully written, The Lock Artist deservedly won the Edgar Award for 2010.
pickThis was a fantastic (and fast!) read. It‘s told in alternating timelines where one eventually catches up to the other which really helps keep up the pace. Loved it! ❤️
These margins are redonkulous. Reminds me of when I‘m trying to print a crap load of info and I want it to fit on one page. This one‘s gonna be a slow-turner, but hopefully worth it! #popsugar2018 #heist
This novel tells the story of a young man who picks locks without needing #keys, but refuses to say a word to anyone. As expected in YA novels, both of these peculiarities are tied to a traumatic event in his past. #WhatAWayToLive #PiratesLife
so-soA solid thriller/crime fiction. Not especially suspenseful in the action, but the author's careful deployment of information keeps you reading.
pickA main character who cracks safes and unable to speak. Coming of age tale set in the world of crime. Picked up from my local Little Free Library noticing it won an Edgar. #lfl #littlefreelibrary
