The Reluctant Burglar - A Book Review

Jill Elizabeth Nelson has written a suspense named Reluctant Burglar that will steal your attention. Reluctant Burglar is the first in Ms. Nelson’s To Catch A Thief series.

In this novel Desiree “Desi” Jacobs is pitted against her neimisis, Special Agent Anthony Lucano. Tony belives Hiram Jacobs and possibly his daughter, Desi are stealing priceless works of art. Before Tony can make his arrest, Hiram Jacobs is murdered. That leaves Desi. Is she involved? Or is she innocent?

Special Agent Lucano is a fake Christian, in Desi’s opinion. He joined their church just to harass Desi and her father. Now he is the one to announce to Desi the news of her father’s murder.
Desi is left to sort out the facts, alone, after the death of her father. Will Desi be able to clear her father’s name before her life is taken as well? Can Desi ever trust anyone again?

Tony continues to hound her in his efforts to solve his missing art case. Then the whole case explodes. Can Desi ever make sense of the pieces of her life raining down around her?
Jill’s writing style is easy to read and her characters are attractive. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in her series, Reluctant Runaway.
