Cute. Fun. Good plot and pace. 
 The assembly of a team of quirky characters to chase down the evildoers together was enjoyable. Recruitment scenes like the ones in this book have become a common TV trope, but The Heist pulled it off better than most. I liked the teammates including an excellent actor who takes himself too seriously and a plucky middle-aged woman who can drive anything with an engine. 
 But the stars of the show are really the young, dashing Kate O'Hare and Nick Fox. Amusing barbs and good chemistry between them. 
 The big, over the top movie-style action scenes were entertaining. Believable? Not really, but that's not the point. 
 The main reason I wouldn't rate this too much higher was that the humor was to "cutesy" for me. There's a lot of one-upsmanship and pop culture references or cliches, like Kate's badass father being able to kill a man sixteen different ways with a pair of tweezers. I think a lot of jokes were geared toward women readers.
