Esther might be the star of the show but she has a splendid supporting actor in Ash Cox. John's skill as a writer is shown by the way that she brings out Ash's vulnerable side, her uncertainties and her impetuousness: she might be living in a world that's far from ideal for a girl in her mid-teens but John captures that moment in her development superbly.
I finished the book far too quickly and I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a review copy to the Bookbag. I was also fortunate to be able to see a Kindle copy of ''Crooked'' (a luxury for most book reviewers) and it was a well-formatted and comfortable read. Text-to-speech, word wise and enhanced typesetting are enabled and screen reader is supported. The print length is 205 pages with an expected reading time of just over four hours.
For another heist story, have a look at [[Doors Open by Ian Rankin]]: it might be Rankin but Bronwen John has created a far-more gripping story in ''Crooked''.
