Finished The Palace Job by Patrick Weekes, and then tore through Prescription: Murder! volume 1: Authentic Cases from the Files of Alan Hynd by Alan and Noel Hynd.

The first was a decent thriller, leaning on the misfit gang pulling the ultimate heist trope, with a few LOL moments, placed in a fantasy setting.

The second, a precursor to the eponymous criminal procedurals of the modern day, though these crimes all occurred in the first half of the twentieth century. The individual stories appear to be essentially reprints of stories originally published by Alan Hynd over the years, but his son, Noel, states in the intro that he had made some changes. I have issues with the quality of the ebook: there are a few spots where the editing was mangled, though the incidents of bad OCR are very low.

I may go next with The Oddfits which is the other freebie of the month I got in January...
