My Review:

I think my creative review juices have up and left me. I don't really know what to say about The Thief of Blackfriars Lane.

“I have lived long enough to know that most of life dwells in the murky grey between right and wrong. Misfortunes will come and go, but through it all, our main duty is to keep loving God and keep loving man.”

Read for:

• Robin Hood vibes
• mystery
• intrigue
• secrets
• danger
• high stakes
• adventures
• spunky characters
• character growth
• witty banter
• satisfying conclusion
• well-researched historical fiction

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

There’s Often a Fine Line Between a Criminal and a Saint

Constable Jackson Forge intends to make the world safer, or at least the streets of Victorian London. But that’s Kit Turner’s domain, a swindler who runs a crew that acquires money the old-fashioned way—conning the rich to give to the poor. When a local cab driver goes missing, Jackson is tasked with finding the man, and the only way to do that is by enlisting Kit’s help. If Jackson doesn’t find the cabby, he’ll be fired. If Kit doesn’t help Jackson, he’ll arrest her for thievery. Yet neither of them realize those are the least of their problems.
