Synposis:I. Freaking. LOVE. Crime stories. If the number of crime shows I watch is not testament enough to my love of all things law and crime related, then let me be the one to tell you. I love them.
The last place you’d expect to find a team of criminals is at a prestigious Philadelphia prep school. But on a class trip to the U.S. Mint – which prints a million new coins every 30 minutes – an overlooked security flaw becomes far too tempting for a small group of students to ignore.
United by dire circumstances, these unlikely allies – the slacker, the nerd, the athlete, and the "perfect" student – band together to attempt the impossible: rob the U.S. Mint. The diverse crew is forced to confront their true beliefs about each other and themselves as they do the wrong thing for the right reasons.
Elisa Ludwig's Coin Heist is a fun, suspenseful, and compelling thriller, told from the revolving perspectives of four teens, each with their own motive for committing a crime that could change all of their lives for the better—if they can pull it off.
I adore the Heist Society series by Ally Carter and I freaking love White Collar. Intelligent crimes like cons and heists, I find are much more interesting than murder crimes. However, I think that the appeal of murder crimes is the adrenaline.
Anyways, Can't wait for this one. Ugh. Crime stories <3
Haha, is it weird I watch a lot of crime shows, but not books? I've read some, but so not enough. Putting this on the list! :)

it's not weird. I find it difficult to find the kind of crime story satisfaction that I get from tv shows, in books.
DeleteAnd great, I'll check it out. :)

Ohhhh this sounds good! I agree with the comment above it is hard to find crime stories that don't feel dual or obvious endings. This book sounds fantastic I am adding it to my TBR =)
