The Thief of Blackfriars Lane by Michelle Griep

 


 Book Description:  Constable Jackson Forge intends to make the world safer, or at least the streets of Victorian London. But that’s Kit Turner’s domain, a swindler who runs a crew that acquires money the old-fashioned way—conning the rich to give to the poor. When a local cab driver goes missing, Jackson is tasked with finding the man, and the only way to do that is by enlisting Kit’s help. If Jackson doesn’t find the cabby, he’ll be fired. If Kit doesn’t help Jackson, he’ll arrest her for thievery. Yet neither of them realize those are the least of their problems.

 My Thoughts:  I was so excited to receive this book.  A favorite author of mine!  
What makes an author a favorite?  Is it the way of the writing?  The ease of reading a plot well thought out?  I'm not really sure but this story is most excellent and has all the above points.
When Constable Jackson Forge needs help to solve a mystery he turns to Kit a somewhat Robin Hood who loves to swindle the rich to give to the poor.  
Kit is a one and only type of gal...unafraid and unadorned she is a tough cookie and knows the lay of the land like none other.
Kit and Constable Jackson Forge have a friendship like none other.  And they are quite good at solving a mystery and making sure the other is safe.
As Kit and the Constable try to solve this mystery they run into one after another of life's unsavory characters.
This is quite an interesting mystery and will leave the reader wondering what clues she missed.
