The Lies of Locke Lamora

I just finished reading the book “The Lies of Locke Lamora” by Scott Lynch. It’s a story of rogues and cutthroats, with a touch of magic — in other words, it’s just the kind of story I like.

I can’t wholeheartedly recommend it, since it has a few structural problems that I would put down to it being written by a “bright new voice” (said the promotional material (/em winks)).

Having said that, it’s definitely worth a read if you’re in the mood for a crime caper with some twists. If you do give it a go, let me know what you think.
