Loot

Well-known jewel thief, Alfie McQuin, has lots of secrets.  The biggest one is that he has twin 12-year-olds, a boy and a girl, who don’t know about each other.  Alfie falls to his death before he can reunite his family.  His son, March, who was his accomplice, must work together with newfound friends and sister, to sort through the cryptic messages and momentos left by Alfie, in order to move on.  There is a lot of action going on in this book.  Watson does a great job in giving bullets of information and moving the story in short chapters.  There isn’t a lot of text describing everyone and everything, just what the reader needs to know to follow the story.  The result is a ‘can’t wait to turn the page’ type of thriller.
