Among Thieves by David Hosp - Review and Giveaway {CLOSED}

About the book:

Bestselling author David Hosp returns with his most thrilling novel yet...

AMONG THIEVES

by David Hosp

In 1990, $300 million worth of paintings were stolen from Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in what remains one of the greatest unsolved art thefts of the twentieth century. Now, nearly twenty years later, the case threatens to break wide open. Members of Boston's criminal underground are turning up dead. But these are no ordinary murders. The M.O. of the attacks suggests the involvement of someone trained by the IRA. But when Scott Finn learns that one of his clients, Devon Malley, was part of the heist, he's quickly drawn into the crossfire, and into the renewed hunt for the missing artwork-a hunt that may cost Finn and his colleagues their lives.
Can you believe that I never heard about this robbery? Yeah, I guess I'm way out of the loop!

I started reading Among Thieves just the other night and haven't been able to put it down since. I had the house completely to myself for the entire day today. This was the first time since before Christmas, and the weather outside is horrible. It's snowing and lowing around like crazy. I couldn't stand to let the dogs out, let alone have to actually go out there for any reason. So, I spent my day curled up on the couch reading.

Among Thieves was such a thriller and I wondered who done it and who was in on it the whole entire time. I even rooted for one of the bad guys until it was too late to root for him anymore. I was extremely surprised to find out who that 3rd person with a key was at the end because I pretty much crossed him off my list right away. I guess that just goes to show good story telling though, doesn't it?

Among Thieves was an excellent book and I would love to read more about Scott Finn, the rest of the detectives and Sally. I really hope David Hosp keeps at it with these characters. I'm also looking forward to reading some of his other books. His writing style just seems to grab you, suck you in and mesmerize you until the very last page! I do have to say I'm quite curious about the Gardner Museum heist too, so I will definitely have to read at least one of the books Davis Hosp recommended at the end.

Buy It!
