For fans of [b:The Spellman Files|129117|The Spellman Files (The Spellmans, #1)|Lisa Lutz|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171981639s/129117.jpg|2896642] and the TV series Monk, I implore you to read this sweet, funny, totally enjoyable story. It's one of my favorite kinds of books: quirky, smart, and well-paced with memorable characters and a satisfying conclusion. It's got suspense, a bit of romance, and it offers a perspective on the world that you've probably never considered. Chew on this: Are you a bad person if you steal things no one will miss? Swell book-it doesn't have a lot of dialogue at first (the only interaction he has for around 150 pages is with a parrot), but the idea of a thief who thinks of the people he robs regularly as his "clients," a thief who is rather attached to the people on his client list and only steals what they won't miss, is wonderful. The description of his adventures was thoughtful and original, and the character of Martin truly lovable.
Despite his obsessive-compulsive work ethic, Martin manages to get himself in trouble over a toothbrush — but not before we’ve decided to let him in next time he calls.
A career criminal with OCD tendencies and a savant-like genius for bringing order to his crime scenes, Martin considers himself one of the best in the business. Of course, he only takes items that will go unnoticed by the homeowners. Even though he has never met these homewoners, he's spent hours in their houses, looking through their photo albums and reading their journals. He's developed a friendship of sorts with them, and accordingly he decides to intervene though it means breaking many of his twitchy, neurotic rules.
