Overall, it's a bit of a quick jaunt into the psychology of someone who made thievery his way of life for so many years, so despite a few flaws it was enough to hold my attention.

I can tell the author did a lot of research and interviews to write this book, and I wish it was longer. The pacing felt too fast at times, and I have to wonder how much of Finkel's interview and research time went underutilized. If this report was already slightly dramatized to give a more novelistic approach, I wish it had been taken further to give us more depth on the tension during the crimes, or the relationship between Stéphane and Anne-Catherine (arguably one of the most compelling plot threads).
Don't get me wrong, I really liked this book and got through it quickly. I just wish there had been more.
