While the gang moves from New York to Paris to Italy to England, most of the book is set in London.


Heist Society – Ally Carter

First in a series

From the book jacket: When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her on a trip to the Louvre…to case it. For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria…to steal the crown jewels. When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own—scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave the family business behind. Unfortunately, leaving “the life” for a normal life proves harder than she’d expected.

My reactions:
This is a fun, fast, young adult novel with a likeable main character and a totally implausible plot. I did like the intricate plotting, and was glad that the romance was kept somewhat on the back burner. The teen gang ranges across continents, from New York to Paris to London to Italy back to Paris, New York, London, etc. Who wouldn’t want to live this billionaire-lifestyle, even if just vicariously? Private jets, mansions in multiple countries, and a butler/valet who is one-step-ahead at all times, anticipating your every need even before you realize you need it. Loved Marcus!

Angela Dawe does a fine job narrating the audiobook. She sets a good pace and has enough skill as a voice artist to differentiate the many characters.
