Review: The Perfect Crimes of Marian Hayes
Rob Brooks is an upbeat and charming thief, con artist, and – in the case of Marian Hayes – blackmailer, but Marian – the Duchess of Clare – is not at all what he expected. While Rob is a thorn in her side, Marian has bigger problems. To solve them, she drags Rob into the English countryside. Along the way, they have a few drinks, pick a few pockets, and enjoy each others’ company. It’s the most fun they’ve had in ages. The only question is if they’ll be able to escape the past and stay together.
