A review by emjm
Heart of the Steal by Roan Parrish, Avon Gale
3.0
Do you know what happens when you have a story about an FBI agent in the White Collar Crime Division (more specifically, art crimes) and a generationally wealthy southern gentleman who happens to look like Lucius Malfoy and have needlessly sticky fingers when it comes to priceless works of art?
You have a pretty solid winner, if a bit niche, story on your hands. It evoked memories of one of my favorite shows, White Collar, which then evoked images of Matt Bomer, which is always nice. Ironically, Matt's character was both a perpetrator of art crime AND a shill for the FBI, but I feel like this author must have drawn inspiration from that when they created these two characters.
All in all, this was so enjoyable and made me thankful to live in a world where there are thousands a books out in the ether about super-specific people and plots that scratch weird itches in our brains.
