King Maybe by Timothy Hallinan

3.0

I hadn't read any stories in this series before, but this still seemed like a good introduction to the character of Junior, and I didn't feel like I missed out on too much from not knowing who he was. Although the story has the feel of an old-fashioned American Private Detective story Junior is, in fact, a high-end burglar. I liked this twist to the formula, and found myself routing for Junior, in spite of him being on the wrong side of the law. The pace ramps up as you read through the book, and there was one section where I was whipping through the pages, desperate to see what was going to happen to poor Junior who seemed to be stuck in an inescapably bad situation!
Good action, a good leading character, I would definitely try another story in this series.
With thanks to Net Galley for the e-book.
