To Catch a Thief
To Catch a Thief | David Dodge
4 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
The classic mystery later turned into an Academy Award-winning film by Alfred Hitchcock, this startling whodunit still resonates today with wit and danger. Le Chat is a legend. He is a mystery. He is a jewel thief, famous and elusive for being able to swipe anything and get away clean. He is John Robie, retired and living a quiet life, tending his rose garden in the South of France. But his retirement plans are thrown for a loop when a series of robberies too closely resemble the work of Le Chat, and the police start digging into Robies past. To keep himself free, and with the help of an equally mysterious young woman, John Robie will have to catch the true thief, before the police catch him.

*Indulge me, please. The photos at the bottom are stills of “Alexander Mundy” (Robert Wagner) from the TV show “It Takes a Thief” (1968-70). That show is based on the movie, “To Catch a Thief” (Cary Grant & Grace Kelly, pictured, center), which in turn is based on a book of the same name by David Dodge (1952; pictured at top). Monday always reminds me of Mundy, because I loved the show. How quaint.

gradcat Observant Littens might take note of Fred Astaire, pictured left with Wagner, and Bette Davis, pictured right with him. Movie fans will surely know that Alfred Hitchcock directed the movie with Grant & Kelly. 5y

If I ruled the world there would be a special hell for adults who steal my children's library materials.

We are 90% sure we know who is doing this, and at least I have a picture of him now. But not sure enough for a police report... 😞

RealLifeReading 😡that's horrible 7y
megt That's awful! I do hope you're able to get the police involved and stop this person from stealing anything else. 7y

If you're looking for a mystery to really keep you guessing 'til the end, this is the book is the one for you. Overall an enjoyable read about a former thief and his hunt for the thief who's taken his identity.
