The Good Thief's Guide to Vegas

De: Chris Ewan

Narrado por: Simon Vance

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.

Fun Story

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Good Thief's Guide to Vegas?

I enjoyed the main character's sharp wit and sarcasm throughout the story despite the things that were happening to him.

Have you listened to any of Simon Vance’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I love Simon Vance's style. Also enjoyed Safe House by Chris Ewan. His pace is good without feeling rushed. He performs women's voices well without sounding forced. He is a little weak when doing American accented characters.

Any additional comments?

It was a fun story, not a masterpiece.I enjoyed the twists and turns and how all the loose ends come together at the end. I would read another book in this series because the main character is so likable.

I will read more of these

This was humorous with exciting moments. I enjoyed him getting out of his scrapes. I would read more by this author. I have also read his Amsterdam story and found it more deftly plotted, but the Vegas story is more fun.

Fun read!

I so enjoy this series. Gobbled them all up!!! And here are six more words.

From

The last one to this one to the next one! I love them! Chris Ewen is an extremely FUN writer! Top ten favorites! While I love intense edge of your seat stories, I love these as they add a whole added level of fun and levity not found in the typical genre! Love them!

Entertaining

I’ve found another author to follow in Chris Ewan. I enjoyed the witty British protagonist and the narrator nailed the part, sounding like Mr Peabody from the Mr Peabody and Sherman animated TV series, which was part of the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. Well done, funny and left me wanting more. I will look for more from both Chris Ewan and Simon Vance.
