Definitely plot heavy, there was no character development whatsoever. It’s literally what the blurb says, con man and FBI agent fighting crime. It was a fun read, lighthearted.
There was some plot points that I thought could be developed a little bit more/didn’t make a whole lot of sense. There was no major conflict to derail the action, which for a lighthearted read is appreciated but if you want more, you’re not gonna get it. However the actual plot was fun! The antics, the settings, the plans, it was a fun read. It kind of reads like how one of the Psych movies does except the crimes are heists.
The characters were typical, which I didn’t love. For example the protagonist was 100% what you’d imagine her to be from reading the first chapter. I don’t mind that so much in side characters but I wish I had seen a bit more depth in her. Maybe there’s more character development in later books.

Predictable plot, yet not very fun at that. Might be great for some just not for me
