I really enjoyed this book.
An underdog story at it’s core, The Big Get-Even can come across as quite simple, but maybe that’s a good thing considering how much is delivered throughout this book as the plot unfolds and the story grows.
The development is fantastic throughout this book as the group develop the plan and start putting the scam in place and though it can feel the execution of the finale is pretty fast this book ends with a finale hard to forget and it makes for an exciting ending which slow burns into a fantastic read.
I like that the characters are very human and are cons conning the conner, it’s a group of people that can come across as misfits but they work together, this writer crafting a great group of characters that deliver a very promising story, particularly Stan and Vee who really add so much to this story (and it’s kinda cool to share a name with a character so I might be biased!)
A good read, I recommend if you want an on the edge of your seat (when it gets going) page turner that leaves you wanting more from these characters.

Not what I expected from this author -- no SF, nothing happens that couldn't happen in the real world today. Pretty good characters and the story is a well-told crime caper, worth a look if you like that kind of thing.

Enjoyable but very slight story of two ex-cons who work a scheme to con a con who made his riches via arson. I liked all the characters, but the story was pretty slow-paced, and there was never a sense of danger or risk, and it was all pretty soft-boiled. Still, 3 stars for keeping me reading and the characters.
