I expected something along the lines of Leverage. Disappointed, couldn't get through this. Reading it was written by a journalist explains how it's more dryer report than book.

( Format : Audiobook )
""...the romantic power of imagination ""
The unconventional schemings of 'Gentleman Thief' Zachary Landon continue to.be chronicled by the admiring journalist, Nathan Davies in five short stories. Landon is a rogue with a fine imagination when it comes to acquiring monies and valuables not his own. But this time not all of his plans go smoothly ... and he relies on the kindness of women.
As before, Rich McVicar's narration is superb, the perfect voice to read these stories, breathing life into the often bizarre characters. Think Sherlock Holmes and his adventures. But instead of crime fighting, Landon is the one creating the criminal havoc.
Intriguing and twisting plots, an unconventional hero, humorous and atmospheric writing and a superb narration - great book, recommended. My thanks to the rights holder for the complimentary copy sent to me, via Audiobook Boom, for an unbiased review. Most enjoyable.

Murder and Mayhem ..

There were several twists and turns to the story line.

This book has enough suspense to keep my engaged until the very end.

Overall, an interesting read and I would be interested in the next book by this author.


Rich McVicar did really well with the narration and his voice added to the story.

Two Steps Ahead: Memoirs of a Gentlemen Thief W.C. Hoffman. Narrated by Rich McVicar

The narrator was great. He is someone I would listen to again.

WC Hoffman is an interesting author to say the least. This book is so different from the other one we listened to. You can tell some authors have a formula they follow to tell a story or they write the same type of stories - not so with this author.

Each chapter is a short story by itself. Zachary Landon is not your typical thief. The stories he tells Nathan Davies about his adventures in crime are well thought out crimes. The last chapter in this book was my favorite.
