The Thieves by Susan Specht Oram

Susan Specht Oram delivers the second piece of her Millersville Series with The Thieves, a gripping novel of desperate times, desperate measures, and the lengths we go to protect those we love. When an amateur thief with good intentions has her only and biggest score snatched away by con-artist crooks, she embarks on a deeply unwise mission to snatch it back. Like a long-form chase sequence with a countdown clock attached, this Pacific Northwest hunt for 500K makes for one wild road trip. The story moves fast, which keeps the energy high, but also cuts down on space for strong character development and emotional foundation. That said, this high-stakes, family-driven thriller is a quick read that is unpredictable to the very end.
