I have had this title on my radar since it was first published. Stolen Things is a crime thriller (one of my favorite genres to read) published by Dutton (one of my favorite publishing companies to read books from) so to say my expectations were high would be an understatement. The story starts off with a bang and catches the reader's attention right from the very first page. However, that is one of the only compliments I can give this title. Soon after the first major event, the plot starts to drag. It felt very repetitive and to be completely honest, I was bored. To top it all off, the ending of this novel is unrealistic and didn't even make that much sense. I was disappointed with this book and do not recommend adding it to your reading list.
