About this listen

Katarina Bishop has worn a lot of labels in her short life: Friend. Niece. Daughter. Thief. But for the last two months, she’s simply been known as the girl who ran the crew that robbed the greatest museum in the world. That’s why Kat isn’t surprised when she’s asked to steal the infamous Cleopatra Emerald so it can be returned to its rightful owners. There are only three problems. First, the gem hasn’t been seen in public in 30 years. Second, since the fall of the Egyptian empire and the suicide of Cleopatra, no one who holds the emerald keeps it for long - and in Kat’s world, history almost always repeats itself. But it’s the third problem that makes Kat’s crew the most nervous, and that is… the emerald is cursed.

Kat might be in way over her head, but she’s not going down without a fight. After all, she has her best friend - the gorgeous Hale - and the rest of her crew with her as they chase the Cleopatra around the globe, dodging curses and realizing that the same tricks and cons her family has used for centuries are useless this time - which means, this time, Katarina Bishop is making up her own rules.

Just a mini-review for UNCOMMON CRIMINALS today! It had been almost four years since I had read HEIST SOCIETY (on audio) before I picked up UNCOMMON CRIMINALS but it wasn’t because of disinterest. After four years of waiting, I finally gave up hope that my library was going to get the audiobook because I just really enjoyed Angela Dawe’s performance so much! I knew I had to keep this one going on audio.

UNCOMMON CRIMINALS was just as much fun as I remember HEIST SOCIETY being! I just love heist books because so many of them often times employ a lot of humor or sarcasm, I think mostly because the characters are just so clever. You really have to be able to outsmart everyone when pulling off a heist and I think that extends a lot into a character’s social interactions as well. I feel like UNCOMMON CRIMINALS was a little less humorous and a bit more serious than HEIST SOCIETY since the stakes were raised a bit more, though!

I really enjoyed how the characters’ relationships started to go a bit deeper as well. There’s always a certain level of trust in a friendship — especially when it involves deception and thievery — but Kat really starts to amp things up with Hale, whether she intended to or not, and both friendships and familial relationships are really put into the spotlight in this book.

UNCOMMON CRIMINALS is an easy read but still full of so many important moments that any teen (or adult) can relate to. I love the balance of humor along with the severity of a heist and all of the experiences that come along with it. These books are so enjoyable and I’m hoping to finish up the series soon! Although now I’m hearing book three is not the last book like I thought it was… so more adventures for me, I guess!

Very fun, as always!

I have read the first and third book in this series, but until now have been unable to read this one. I really enjoy how clean Ally Carter's books are! They are clean, but have strong characters that develope as the story progresses. There is also plenty of action that keeps you coming back for more! I really enjoyed listening to this book! I would recommend this to anyone who loves a good, clean adventure!

Would Recommend This Book!

I absolutely love these books- I’ve reread them so many times that I almost know it by heart. The narrator is fantastic, the overall story is captivating and entertaining but the thing that really bothers me is when they first bring up the Bagshaws in this book the say that they have a Scottish accent but in the first book they say they’re British and they have a British accent in the first book so the accent changes in the middle of the series. I really wish they’d correct this… but other than that the story is awesome.

Inconsistencies in the Bagshaw brother’s background.

This was another outstanding audible book by Ally Carter. The narration by Angela Dawe was once again spot on! I just wish that there were many more novels to follow in this series.
