This week Robin and guest host Scott Chipman discuss The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. Scott is married to the regular co-hosting villain, Caitlyn. This week's book is a heist novel set in a fantasy world, but not so fantastical that you won't recognize it. As Scott said, no dragons in this one. This is a backlist novel and the first in a series. We do mention that it's a good comp for the Shadow & Bone trilogy and Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo but unlike those novels, The Lies of Locke Lamora is NOT a young adult (YA) book, so please be aware of that.

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch
