Homecoming Heist by Tyson Collin

As the name suggests, this novel revolves around an indigenous heist during a homecoming parade. The story takes place in Steamboat, a quaint, homey town known as the 'City of Pride' by the natives. A daring heist is planned in this crime-free small city, where only natural disasters are the biggest concern. The mastermind is Doug Harris, an ex-con working in a junkyard and struggling to make ends meet. He enlists the help of Steve, his nephew, who had a tough childhood and is now a job hunter. With a little coercion, Phil Sexton, his old acquaintance who now leads AA meetings, also joins the team. Bo Foster, head of a construction company, subsequently joins the gang. Even though he is a respected citizen, he is forced to join the crooks due to his menacing financial situation.

On the day of the homecoming parade, the team successfully heists three banks, sending the short-handed police department on a wild chase. Police Officer Andy, a former sports star, is in charge of protecting the town and feels responsible for the crime that happened under his watch. He vows to apprehend the heisters. With the help of Nathaniel Danvers, Chief of the Steamboat Police Department, and Jay, a rookie officer sent by the Major Cases unit, he chases all the clues, leaving no stone unturned. 

Will they catch the elusive robbers? Will they retrieve the stolen money? What will happen to the heist gang? Dive into this page-turner to learn the rest of the story.

Firstly, the book is fast-paced, and I finished it rather quickly. The author's writing style is very engaging, and I was excited to find out what happened next. The words used were simple and easy to follow. There were profane words, but they didn't feel odd. It was quite an entertaining read and felt like watching a movie.

The book portrays the role of money in our lives. Not having enough money forces some people to take a wrong turn in their lives, and we can see how it affects them radically. The following dialogue touched a chord with me.

"I want to wake up, and the greatest worry I have is what to have for breakfast, not whether or not I can afford breakfast."

I noticed one grammatical error. Some sentences in the story felt repetitive, which could have been avoided. I was not impressed with the chapter breaks; it felt odd. Another round of editing would be beneficial for the book. But other than that, I enjoyed the reading experience. I recommend this book to action and thriller lovers.

For the above-stated reasons, I rate the book 4 out of 5 stars.
