This was a hilarious story! At times it was serious, at times heart pounding and at times funny as heck.

Martin is a career criminal with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) tendencies who has a list of clients he frequents. He knows where they work, if they’re married or live alone, whether they have a dog or not, and what time of day they leave their home and what time they return.

During Martin’s excursions into their homes when they’re at work, he carries a list for each house and what he’ll take from it that week. Sometimes it is food items, other times soap or laundry detergent, toilet paper and sometimes even jewellery. Martin prides himself on never having been caught but that almost changed when he became trapped in a client’s home unexpectedly. Believe me, it was a heart pounding few pages, I was actually jiggling my legs reading that chapter and saying to myself: “Oh no, oh no, oh no!!”

However, during Martin’s years of being a criminal, he has also developed a feeling of closeness to his clients, almost a kinship with these people he steals from but has never met. Unbeknownst to Martin, he is about to test that “closeness” and “kinship” by turning into a Guardian Angel by saving a few of his clients from danger and mishaps.

Matthew Dick’s is the kind of burglar, (if I had to have one) I’d prefer to have in my house. He’s not dangerous and actually cares about people, especially the client’s he steals from. This story is a masterpiece and I think anyone who reads it will never forget it. I hope that Mr. Dick’s will write a sequel so we can find out what happens with Laura!
