Hale the fifth were born to lead completely different lives: Kat comes from a long, proud line of loveable criminal masterminds, while Hale is the scion of one of the most seemingly perfect dynasties in the world. If their families have one thing in common, it’s that they both know how to stay under the radar while getting—or stealing—whatever they want. No matter the risk, the Bishops can always be counted on, but in Hale’s family, all bets are off when money is on the line. When Hale unexpectedly inherits his grandmother’s billion dollar corporation, he quickly learns that there’s no place for Kat and their old heists in his new role. But Kat won’t let him go that easily, especially after she gets tipped off that his grandmother’s will might have been altered in an elaborate con to steal the company’s fortune. So instead of being the heir—this time, Hale might be the mark. Forced to keep a level head as she and her crew fight for one of their own, Kat comes up with an ambitious and far-reaching plan that only the Bishop family would dare attempt. To pull it off, Kat is prepared to do the impossible, but first, she has to decide if she’s willing to save her boyfriend’s company if it means losing the boy. Review: Can't Wait for the Next Heist! - Ms. Carter has done it again! Perfect Scoundrels was amazing. I was so excited to jump right back into the adventure with Kat, Hale, and company, and boy did Ally deliver. This series has it all: action, adventure, hot boys, smart girls, and everything in between. The story never dragged or was boring. Every step of the way, you were cheering on Kat to overcome the foe of the book. This time Hale is in the one in trouble, and it effects everyone, especially Kat. I really connected to Kat in this novel, more so than the other books in the series. We saw a more vulnerable side to her, and I enjoyed reading it. However, just because she is more vulnerable doesn't mean she's whiny or all "Woe is me!" She carries on and doubles her efforts to pull off a seemingly impossible task. I still love all the side characters (Angus and Hamish are, as always, a riot), and I loved that Ms. Carter brought Marcus to the forefront as well. Marcus hasn't been mentioned much in the previous novels (mostly just in passing), but he has his shining moments in this book, and I appreciated that. Hale...let me just say, I love him! I was itching to find out what his nickname was, and even though it was funny, I wanted more backstory as to why he received that name. No, we still don't find out his actual name, but I'm hoping we find out soon. Ms. Carter's writing is flawless as ever, and you can truly see how much she has grown as an author. I never felt her writing was bad. In fact, I was blown away at how well written her novels were considering she had only written 2 novels previously before writing the Gallagher Girls series. However, her writing has gotten even better, and it shows. Everything feels so unbelievably real- from the world to the characters- and I love reading every little detail. While there aren't as many funny parts, there is still plenty of laugh out loud moments that were fantastic. I can't wait to see what Ms. Carter has in store for us next time, and I am eagerly awaiting the next in this wonderful series! 5+++++++ stars Review: You Have To Read This Series!! - Katarina Bishop has never had a normal life, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been a happy life. She is loved by her con artist family, she knows they will always be there when she needs them, and now she has a boyfriend, Hale. But Hale has never known the concept of family the way Kat has, and when his beloved grandmother dies, that fact becomes all too real. The boyfriend thing is new for Kat, but when Hale abandons them in the middle of a con, she knows something horrible has happened. When she finds out his grandmother has died, she gets to see the true origins of W. W. Hale V, and it isn't pretty. When she goes to the funeral, she truly begins to understand that Hale is from a different class of people than Kat is, and she knows she could never fit in with this life of his. When the will is read, Hale's world is thrown into turmoil again as he learns his grandmother has left him the billion dollar company. Until Hale is of age to take over the company, the family lawyer will serve as executor, but something is wrong. When Marcus, Hale's faithful servant, pulls Kat aside to talk to her, he explains his concerns that the will is a forgery. Hale's grandmother never trusted the lawyer, and she always said she would leave something to Marianne, Marcus's sister and Hale's grandmother's best friend. Knowing Kat's particular set of skills, Marcus asks Kat to investigate and find the real will. Now Kat, always a moral con artist (really! I swear!), feels like she must take this job, but how can she take the job that might prove her boyfriend doesn't deserve the inheritance he received? You know, I have seen a lot of comparisons of this series to "Ocean's Eleven", but while there is the heist connection between the two, and I love them both, I think this series is in a class all of its own! It really is fun and exciting and gives the reader so much to think about. There was a time I wanted Ally Carter to start writing more YA novels and less MG novels, but I realize that has already happened. Just because her books are clean and can be appropriate to younger readers doesn't mean they aren't also complex enough for older readers. In fact, I find Carter to be very similar to Rick Riordan in that respect. Both of their books are written for younger readers within the genre but are so well written they can easily appeal to everyone, including adults. And in that sense, they are pure genius! There aren't many books that can appeal to both adults and 5th graders and make both demographics happy, but Carter has found the magic formula with this series! And this was a much different book from the first two because the heists were much more personal to the group. Knowing the possible outcome for Hale, they didn't know how to include him, and he resented their involvement until he found out just how evil the lawyer was. I am keeping my fingers crossed that there will be more of these books in the series, because they are just so great to read. And it isn't often you find a good clean book you can give to tons of readers. If I had one complaint it would be that I wished the covers were more gender neutral because I know boys would love to read these stories, but the covers would scare many of them away. So I might just "heist" the book jacket and trick them into reading it! After they finished it, they would thank me for my trickery! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #987,456 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #567 in Teen & Young Adult Fiction about Being a Teen (Books) #989 in Teen & Young Adult Romantic Comedy #1,178 in Teen & Young Adult Mystery & Thriller Action & Adventure | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 67 Reviews | ## Images ![Perfect Scoundrels - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mA8u6zKKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can't Wait for the Next Heist! *by A***R on February 24, 2013* Ms. Carter has done it again!

After they finished it, they would thank me for my trickery! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeously Executed Complex Plot *by S***Y on February 24, 2013* *Review posted on Page Turners Blog on 2/26/2013* Okay, I'll just say it - I'm a HUGE fan of Ally's writing. And as with any thing that I may love there's always a little (irrational) fear that perhaps, this one story won't live up to my expectations. Of course, I was dead wrong in this case. Here's the thing about Ally's series (and yes, I'm dragging in Gallagher Girls into this review but only for a second so please bear with me), they are well planned and gorgeously executed, complicated plots with large casts of characters. But at some point, obviously book 3 in Heist Society (and book 4 in Gallagher Girls, Only the Good Spy Young), the stories turn inward and get a little dark. And this mama loves nothing more than when she's already invested in a story and then it's sprinkled with some dark revelations. The resounding theme in both her series is family. And in Perfect Scoundrels the theme of family - the one you're born into versus the one you make with friends, co-workers and acquaintances - is a central theme. I may have wanted to hire a Gallagher girl or two to take out Hale's parents. But, you know what? I think I know a few absentee parents that could join them on their trips around the world. Ally does many things well - her complex family business models, her large cast of characters that we grow to love (oh, Uncle Eddie has my heart and I even adore Kat's dad, Bobby) - but the thing she does the best is describing loss. Whether it's Cammie's lost memories from a crucial summer mission or Hale's pulling away when his grandmother dies. I felt that loss, and I felt it deeply. Nothing was more important to me then when Kat's dad explained to her that if Hale pulled away, they could steal him back. It made me smile, but I knew what he was saying, and he wasn't just saying it for Kat's sake. As for my report on kissage. Well, we get Hale in his Superman pajamas (yes, we finally get to read the scene on how Hale and Kat met!) and there is kissing. Sad, sweet, melancholy kisses that go with a sweet, melancholy, keeping-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat story. Let me go back and emphasize the sweet part, because the kissing is perfectly timed and believable within the plot. This book goes on the shelf of books that I plan to share with my kids when they reach the age where they are interested in YA stories. They need to read this so they can see that family is the safety net that will always be there for them. Thank you Ally for another wonderful story. Now, let me brace my heart for what will happen in the next Heist Society novel. ## Frequently Bought Together - Perfect Scoundrels - Uncommon Criminals (A Heist Society Novel) (A Heist Society Novel, 2) - Heist Society (A Heist Society Novel, 1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/19052507-perfect-scoundrels](https://www.desertcart.it/products/19052507-perfect-scoundrels) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
