Book Log 2016 #34: House of Thieves by Charles Belfoure
Set in the late 19th century, the son of a prosperous architect gets mixed up with the wrong crowd, and to save him the architect uses his knowledge of architecture (and the mansions he'd designed) to help the gang commit robberies.
I couldn't quite get into this book the same way I did for Belfoure's debut novel, The Paris Architect, not sure if I didn't quite buy the premise or if the writing wasn't as good as that first book. Still, it's a nice change of pace to have a mystery/thriller using architects rather than the usual assortment of cops and government agents.
