I have only previously read a novella by J.A, Jance, but that was with J.P. Beaumont. This time, I got to get to know two other characters Ali Reynolds and Joanna Brady from Jance's two other series as they join forces to stop LEGO thieves.

Limited LEGO products are apparently quite valuable and there seems to be a black market for it. But when something goes wrong and a truckload of LEGO gets ambushed must Ali Reynolds and Joanna Brady find the culprits.

I find novellas the perfect way to get to know series, to see if I find the characters interesting enough to read the books and get to know the writing style of the authors. I found this story OK, well-written and quite enjoyable action-filled. I must admit that I wasn't completely taken with the story of LEGO theft. For some reason, it just didn't appeal that much to me. Perhaps I'm not just that interested in organized LEGO thieves.

Thanks to Gallery, Threshold, Pocket Books and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! ( )

This novella unites two of J.A. Janceā€™s three sleuths: Sheriff Joanna Brady and Ali Reynolds. Brady is called out to investigate an early morning truck crash, where the truck cab is riddled with bullets and the cargo (Legos) spread all over the highway. High Noon Enterprises finds out and dispatches a team to investigate how its client's merchandise ended up in the Arizona desert. Lots of action, but Jance missed an opportunity to develop the bad guys, and make this story richer.

I was given a free ecopy of this novella from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I did not realize it was a novella when I began reading it, and was so enjoying it that when the story came to its quick conclusion, I was angry. I immediately went back to the source of the galley and re-read the synopsis, learned it was not an excerpt, and laughed at myself. No Honor Among Thieves is a great quick read - I was obviously caught up in the characters and full of hope to get to know them better. I am looking forward to reading a full length novel withe these characters. ( )

This novella brings two favorite Jance characters together to solve a murder involving smuggling of Legos, in order to increase their market value. Who knew Legos could be so valuable?! Fun to watch the meeting of minds of Ali Reynolds and Joanna Brady. ( )
