Frankie had it good. A place of his own. A girlfriend with a penchant for puzzles. And a pretty good nest egg from grifting wallets. But when somebody steals his money that he worked so hard to take, things get serious. Forced to confront his past, Frankie must be led down a path that will take him deeper into the criminal underworld.

I enjoyed this mystery. I guessed the ending correctly early on, but it didn't lessen my enjoyment of the adventure. Frankie was quite the likable character and I liked seeing him grow up and deal with life in his own unique ways. I think they would have made an unstoppable duo in later years. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.

Pickpocket Frankie was a fun read. It had a little bit of everything in it, humor, adventure, mystery, and yes even a little romance.

Pickpocket Frankie, by Roberto Scarlato, narrated by Roberto Scarlato

This book is about young man Frankie. He is led to the criminal underworld. Interesting plot. Book had a little bit of adventure, mystery, criminal, intrigue. The book is quiet long, 5 hrs and 53 mins so you need few days to it. Roberto Scarlato did a good job. Liked his narration. Pleasant voice, tone and tempo.
I would recommend it to people looking for leisure time book.

Abandoned and left to fend for himself, Frankie has no choice but to talk a good game and resort to … illegal ways to survive. When those more nefarious than he take his ill gotten gains, Frankie’s forced deeper into danger, and it’s no more easy pickings for “Pickpocket Frankie”! Highly entertaining, character driven, and fabulously narrated BY the author, “Pickpocket Frankie” is a fantastically fun listen! I loved the story, and I loved the way everything played out! Initially, I felt so bad for young Frankie, yet so proud of his ingenuity and independence! I have to say, I fell hard for Frankie! I loved his attitude, wit, personality and sense of humor! All of the characters created by the author are stunning! There are so many, they are so diverse, and I loved that with some, I was kept guessing nearly to the end as to their true natures! The story itself also kept me guessing. I loved the intrigue, the mystery, the suspense, the nice bit of romance, the “feel” created by the author and enhanced by his masterful narration, his perfect timing. I was completely delighted by the fitting and proper conclusion that left no loose ends, no unanswered questions, just the feeling of perfect satisfaction one gets after listening to a five star performance! I loved “Pickpocket Frankie”!

Oh Frankie! You had me at go and kept me throughout!

This book was very interesting. I must admit I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised.
Roberto has a way of telling a story both as an author and a narrator that just has you drawn in from the beginning.
This story takes you on a journey of a young boy as learns to overcome and adjust to overwhelming obstacles through adulthood. Many unexpected turns along the way.
Narration was absolutely amazing.

Intriguing!!

Pickpocket Frankie is just a delight. The book, in spite of being based on a tragedy that happens to Frankie, is light-hearted and humorous. Frankie is a likable guy, too. You feel for him, and he isn't a callous criminal.

Scarlato pulls double duty, as both author and narrator. His writing is tip top, and narration is spot on, making me wonder why he isn't narrating more. I guess all that writing gets in the way. Regardless, You really feel like Scarlato is Frankie. I don't think there is a genre Scarlato can't write as he seems to cover different genres with ease from I have seen.

Listening to Frankie's plight is enjoyable; you will snicker, belly laugh, and even guffaw once or twice. Scarlato has comedic timing down to a science. I would really like to see this as a movie, it would be unstoppable.

Frankie really puts stuff into your pocket here!
