In Lindsay’s intense sequel to 2019’s Just Watch Me， an ally’s betrayal leads to wisecracking master thief Riley Wolfe being forced to work for Patrick Boniface， “an arms dealer who scares the crap out of the other arms dealers。” Boniface， who’s also an art collector， wants Wolfe to steal Raphael’s Liberation of St。 Peter， a fresco painted on a wall inside the Vatican。 Wolfe agrees to this lunatic scheme in order to avoid being tortured by Boniface’s sadistic sidekick。 To make matters worse， Wolfe’s meeting with Boniface comes to the attention of a rival crook， Bailey Stone， who abducts the thief and threatens to harm Wolfe’s love-interest， art forger Monique， unless he double crosses Boniface。 Stone wants Wolfe to commit the theft， and then use the delivery of the fresco to Boniface as a cover for Stone and his team to kill Boniface。 Meanwhile， Wolfe remains the quarry of a dogged FBI agent。 Lindsay devises a satisfying plan for the impossible crime， and continues to make Wolfe， who has a violent side of his own， an intriguing protagonist。 Only the solution is a bit of a letdown。 Readers looking for a page-turner won’t be disappointed。 Agent: Nick Ellison， Nicholas Ellison Agency。 （Dec。）

Riley is the best thief around， but now he is in a bad spot。 Caught between 2 rival arms dealers。 One who wants him to steal an artwork， inside the Vatican， and its painted on a wall。 An impossible task。 The other wants him to do a double cross。 How does he gets out of this mess and survive。 Not to mention the fact that someone very important to him is in the crosshairs too if he makes a mistake。 Suspense from beginning to end with all sorts of twists that will keep you guessing。 Thank you to Riley is the best thief around， but now he is in a bad spot。 Caught between 2 rival arms dealers。 One who wants him to steal an artwork， inside the Vatican， and it’s painted on a wall。 An impossible task。 The other wants him to do a double cross。 How does he gets out of this mess and survive。 Not to mention the fact that someone very important to him is in the crosshairs too if he makes a mistake。 Suspense from beginning to end with all sorts of twists that will keep you guessing。 Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy。 。。。more

I am really enjoying Lindsay's new creation Riley Wolfe！ Only the 2nd book in the series & I am already hoping this one goes on for 10-20 books。 Not quite as good as the first book， Just Watch Me， but still a worthy follow up。 Already hoping for book 3 to become available for a preview over the summer！！！ If you enjoy rooting for the bad guy （& how can you really tell who the REAL bad guy is when the book is filled with arms dealers & the Vatican）， then you will find yourself cheering I am really enjoying Lindsay's new creation Riley Wolfe！ Only the 2nd book in the series & I am already hoping this one goes on for 10-20 books。 Not quite as good as the first book， Just Watch Me， but still a worthy follow up。 Already hoping for book 3 to become available for a preview over the summer！！！ If you enjoy rooting for the bad guy （& how can you really tell who the REAL bad guy is when the book is filled with arms dealers & the Vatican）， then you will find yourself cheering Riley on even when he has to perform "questionable tasks。" If I had to sum the series。， I would describe it as "Oceans Eleven capers set in the art world filled with characters who make it tough figuring out who the bad guys of the world really are。" 。。。more

When I read the first Riley Wolf book I was intrigued by the character。 He was not likable。 Not like the authors former main character， Dexter。 He is just kind of a creepy jerk。 And you learned some of why he was that way。 I finished hoping that future books would lead to a better understanding of the character and maybe a thawing if may feelings towards him。 I loved the story。 I loved some of the other characters。 I eagerly awaited the next installment。 So here it is。 Did it do what I had When I read the first Riley Wolf book I was intrigued by the character。 He was not likable。 Not like the authors former main character， Dexter。 He is just kind of a creepy jerk。 And you learned some of why he was that way。 I finished hoping that future books would lead to a better understanding of the character and maybe a thawing if may feelings towards him。 I loved the story。 I loved some of the other characters。 I eagerly awaited the next installment。 So here it is。 Did it do what I had hoped？ Yes。 And no。 First up is the heist。 There is a lot of time spent thinking it was impossible。 And reading about how it was impossible。 It got a bit repetitive。 About halfway through， Riley started playing Riley and it picked up a lot。 There are clues as to what he is doing and the reader is pretty much with him the entire time。 There are a few surprises， but mostly it is just a fun ride to be along for。 Riley is asked to basically steal a wall。 Inside a building。 That is connected to other buildings。 In the Vatican。 Yeah。 Impossible。As far as characters， I was mixed。 I liked Detective Delgado。 I liked him more this time than last。 Poor guy。 He's trying。 I think we need to know more about him。 I'd like to get to know him better in the future。 His part wasn't huge here。 Monique was another story altogether。 I really liked her in Just Watch Me。 I was hoping for more of her。 She was， again， very important， to the entire plot and Riley's success or failure in his endeavor。 Still， I felt that she was less developed this time around。 And she still never speaks to another women。 No woman in this thing does。 She is the most developed female character。 Which is not saying much。 She was just reacting to Riley the whole time。 She didn't seem as much her own person。 Weirdly， a few times she seemed to be Dexter's wife。 Finally， Riley himself。 I think he was less creepy here。 A little。 But this book also seemed to drop his crusade against the 1%。 Anyone reading just this book would think he admired the 1%。 I miss that part of his character。All in all， the book started fast， got a little bogged down， and then rammed straight through the last half at record pace。 I'm hoping the more I get to know these characters， the more developed they will become。 Story is good， If you are going to love a series， though， you need to develop the characters。 。。。more
