About this listen

Grace is a thief: a good one. She was taught by experts, and she's been practicing since she was a kid. She specializes in small, high-value items—stamps, watches—and she knows her Jaeger-LeCoultres from her Patek Philippes. But it's a solitary life, always watchful, always moving. It's not the life she wants.

Lying low after a run-in with an old associate, Grace walks into Erin Mandel's rural antiques shop and sees a chance for something different. A normal job. A place to call home.

But someone is looking for Erin. And someone's looking for Grace, too.

And they are both, in their own ways, very dangerous men.

An intriguing mystery - although at some times so intriguing, I got lost! I think it took me to the end of the book to work out the characters. But the concept and storyline were good.
the narrator had a great voice and spoke very clearly. I think a few South Australians would be most annoyed every time he mispronounced Nuriootpa, Gomeracha and Portrush (

A good yarn.

Listened to a few from Disher and this is my fav so far. Great characters and rolling story that kept on evolving throughout.

Really enjoyed this one.

I love how this story was told from the criminal perspective! It made me empathise more with the criminal Grace than the police.

Another great crime read with a twist

I dont know why this story hasn't gotten better reviews because it's actually quite good. It does take a bit of concentration for the first half to work out all the characters and their different plot lines but it does all come together at the end. Obviously there is a sequel planned and I will look forward to it.
Narrator was just right!!

Enjoyable but takes a bit of following

I really like Gary Disher’s books, usually. Unfortunately, in this book, the characters and story felt formulaic. And the narration was not good- inappropriate breathless excitement at times and mispronunciation of some Sputh Australian town names were distracting.

Unfortunately not as good as usual

My first thought when it ended was "There HAS to be a sequel..or three..."

Great characters that I'd really like to spend more time with on their next "adventures"

Hoping this is Book 1 of Many!

Believable characters- likable despite their flaws. As usual with Disher a strong sense of place - the Adelaide Hills and i felt I knew the country antique shop. Plenty of twists right to the end. Gripping!

Classic Garry Disher

The start was very patchy, I couldn't grasp whi everyone was. but once I got a handle on them all, I loved the story. Kind of devastated about the ending, not how I wanted it to end.

The ending

It seem Disher has not been great recently, from the latest Hirsch novel I defiantly think the quality of writing has gone down

Was not the best

I love Garry Disher novels but the narrator of this one has put me right off. The character voices are terrible, especially the lady who works in the shop. I’m not sure I can even continue (up to chapter 10).

Terrible naration
