Two wrongs don’t make a right . . . except when they do.

For con artist Chaney Rose, life hasn’t been easy. In desperate need of cash, she readily agrees to find Mischief, a stolen racehorse. Hunting for clues, she breaks into the suspected horse thief’s home only to be caught—with a few pilfered items in her pockets—by the police detective who’s tailing her.
By-the-book Adam Thorne was fired from his church because of his father’s involvement with the valuable thoroughbred. In a burst of Les Miserables-inspired grace, Adam tells the detective that he gave Chaney the stolen items.
Adam wants Chaney to find his missing father. When Chaney learns that Mischief’s owner intends to kill the racehorse, she needs Adam’s help expose the cruel plan before it’s too late.
Will a con artist with a conscience and a minister without a ministry risk imprisonment to do the wrong thing for the right reason?

My Review 💚

I have been devouring mystery and suspense novels lately and The Mischief Thief is another suspense that grabbed ahold of me and didn't let go! If life wasn't so crazy for me right now I'm sure I would've finished this novel in one sitting, but even having to pick it up and put it down I could immediately get right back into the story and get lost in this world.

Chaney is a grifter that you can't help but fall in love with. Pair her with Adam, the ex-pastor with a heart overflowing with grace and forgiveness, and the theft of a prominent race horse, and you've got one story that truly has it all. The character development is unparalleled and so true to life...if only more people extended grace like Adam does to Chaney, and his father.

The writing is wonderful, the plot keeps your attention, and you can't help but continually turn the pages to find out what happens next. Plus, how can you not love a good suspense story involving a horse, am I right? You hate the bad guys and love the good guys, and the ending wasn't exactly what I had expected, which was a pleasant surprise. I actually told my husband when I read the last sentence, "Aww! What a cute way to end the book!"

Another wonderful addition to The Mosaic Collection, as well as kick off the new series "Rose & Thorne". I can't wait to see what other adventures awaits Adam and Chaney!

My Rating: ★★★★★
