Martin is a thief, but a very particular type of thief. He calls his victims clients and spends months studying them before he considers putting them on his list. But some of these clients he has been stealing from them for years and almost thinks of them as friends. Most of what he steals are normal staples - groceries and household supplies, etc. But he also steals more monetary items such as silver, diamonds, crystal etc. The way he approaches it is almost ingenious as he has a game plan on what he steals from each client. It depends on what he needs and how much the client has in stock! (he steals towels from two different `clients' to make up his own set) He makes massively lengthy lists, plans and timetables. He is a master at planning, he has every base covered, or does he?
Things start to get complicated when Martin is almost caught in one of his oldest client's home. He plays cupid with the husband and all his careful planning starts to unravel but it honestly makes him a better person for it.
I read a bookreview about one of Matthew Dicks' newer book and the concept of an OCD thief intrigued me. I was amazed how much I enjoyed it. If you are looking for a different type of novel than this is the book for you.
