Publisher Description
Charlie Howard isn't only a part-time crime writer and part-time thief; he's also a magician. For his next trick, he'll relieve Josh Masters, the famous illusionist vying for the affections of Charlie's friend Victoria, of $60,000 in casino chips stashed in his hotel safe. Revenge would be sweet if there weren't a dead redhead floating in Masters' bathtub and if Masters hadn't just disappeared in a puff of smoke after cheating at roulette. Convinced that Charlie was in on the scam, the casino's owners give him an impossible mission: either pull off an elaborate heist to reimburse the house for every dollar his "accomplice" made off with, or enjoy a one-way trip into the desert.

"What fun to add magic to burglaring in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is not one of my favorite places, but I had fun watching Charlie and Vic dig themselves into trouble, and find a way out. Bring on Venice!"

The Good Thief’s Guide to Vegas Listener Reviews

" not quite as good as his first two in the series: Good Thief's Guide to Paris and GTG to Amsterdam. Recommend reading those first. A funny and clever caper series. "

" This was by far my favorite of this series. One thing after another happens, to keep you entertained. Very fun read. "
— Jaylynn, 11/17/2013 -
" Plenty of twists and excitement toward the end, but the majority of the book was kind of dull. Vegas wasn't as interesting a backdrop as Paris or Amsterdam. I would only recommend this to fans of the first two Guides, which were good enough warrant reading the next Guide. "
— Karine, 10/2/2013 -
" A good solid 3.5 stars! I really love this series. It's just quirky enough to be really entertaining. "
— Suzanne, 9/24/2013 -
" Not as much fun as the first two. Charlie is much less likeable in this one, and the plot is even more contrived. Fun, yes, but a big letdown from the first ones. "
— Kevin, 9/19/2013 -
" If you're looking for something light, humorous and entertaining, this mystery series may be for you. "
— Thom, 9/4/2013 -
" Enjoyable and witty - but kept falling asleep trying to read it. Too much gardening during the day- best read when not exhausted. "
— Papalodge, 7/29/2013 -
" This series really is funny and entertaining--not your usual British murder mystery. Charlie and his friend Victoria spend some time in Vegas--and end up in trouble, again. "
— MaryAnn, 7/21/2013 -
" This book started off with a bang. It seemed so promising, and went downhill from there. Wish I would have given up on this mystery..but I did hang on till the last page. "
— Chelsea, 1/3/2013 -
" This story starts with a good premise that is interesting and rapidly falls from there. 2 of 10 stars "
— Tim, 12/29/2012 -
" An entertaining romp around Sin City with an expert thief enmeshed in a murder mystery. "
— Craig, 12/18/2012 -
" Starts REALLY strong, bur fails at the moment of ah-HA! that's necessary in a mystery, rendering the conclusion sort of muddled. Still a decent read. "
— Joe, 10/23/2012 -
" The ending was not clever enough to match the rest of the book, but I enjoyed it a lot. "
— Andrea, 7/2/2012 -
