Good thief's guide to Vegas by Chris Ewan

"Good thief's guide to Vegas", by Chris Ewan.

Charlie is a mystery novel writer, who writes novels of his detective Michael Fox. However Charlie is also a thief. Good thief's guide is a series and this is the 3rd book where he comes to Vegas (first 2 being Amsterdam and Paris) with Victoria, his literary agent. They are accused of stealing money and something important from a casino by teaming with an illusionist. There is a murder as well.

Can Charlie and Vic repay the money? Can they find the illusionist? Who is the killer? How does Charlie's secret trade help?

Unlike previous 2 books, the story is slow and low on drama. There is hardly any twist in the tale. No surprises. In short the book is not enticing.                  

I did not enjoy. Obviously do not recommend.
