The Dali Deception by Adam Maxwell
3.0
I used to watch the TV show "Leverage", which had a great cast playing fun characters who exchanged wonderful banter as they undertook their Robin Hood-esque operations. But the show had a weak spot: the plotting. It was often a bit on the weak side, and the show had a particular weakness for relying on a glib "oh but here's the thing we never revealed to the audience until now" flashback mechanism to extricate those wonderful characters from a bad situation. It's a cheap and laxy way to build and resolve tension and it was my biggest gripe with the show.
A third of the way into this story of a criminal gang pulling off the theft of a painting, I thought to myself "I bet this guy is gonna 'Leverage' this.". And alas, that's exactly what happens, except in this case the characters aren't as fun or likeable as the Leverage ones were.
