Issey is a career criminal, a bad one sure, but his love for thievery is palpable. He returns to his small hometown in Vermont and promptly starts stealing from the locals. After a fumbling mishap, Issey becomes known as the guy who can find your missing things and the community starts reaching out to find their lost items, all of which are things he stole from them.

Second Pocket First was a little different from what I typically read, but overall it was a very fun book. There is quite a bit of humor that landed for me. The characters are all kind of oddballs who are hard to get a read on, likely, in part, due to Issey's perceptions of them. I found the storyline entertaining as well, but did find certain parts a little repetitive. I didn't mind the repetitiveness, but sometimes did wish the plot would move on.

Thank you NetGalley and Black Rose Writing for the eARC!
