Kuuntelin tämän äänikirjana. Kirjassa on meneillään jalokiviliikkeen ryöstö ja samalla takaumissa käydään läpi siihen johtaneita tekijöitä. Päähenkilöinä on kaksi pariskuntaa, jotka tuntuvat molemmat olevan vähän kateellisia toisilleen, mutta toki eri asioista. Takaumien myötä taustat paljastuvat ja kenenkään historia ei ole kovin puhtoista. Aika monta juonenkäännettä on saatu samoihin kansiin ja kirja päättyy aika erilaisissa tunnelmissa kuin missä se alkaa. Suosittelen, oli viihdyttävä kuuntelukokemus.
