The cover of A Philosophy of Thieves by Fran Wilde, which features a masked female character leaping with style from an ornate window.

I received this as an eARC via NetGalley. Purchase link

This is a delightful YA heist novel. Roosa Carnarvier (Vane) and her family are professional thieves, who, in post-apocalyptic Washington DC, perform heists (with strict contracts and rules) as entertainment for the wealthy.

Only we all know what happens with heists: things go sideways, and you have to improvise.

Roo and her brother Dax have to work together and decide what really matters, where their loyalties lie, and who they want to be to save their father when he goes missing mid-heist. The stakes get higher and higher, and the thieves are not the only ones with major secrets.

Full of twists and turns, this is a rollicking adventure. My one minor complaint is that Roo only had one major scene showing off her skills with aerial silks.

Strongly recommended.
